4 stars Bisbaye seems to be yet another obscure prog band, with this album receiving only 212 views on youtube in 5 years. But this band has done things I've personally haven't seen quite like this band. With every release try to find the best way to pummel your ears with erratic time signatures and quick rhythm changes. They also seem to be very underground, with very little info I've been able to find on the band members.

The main problem with Bisbaye is getting used to their sound, as if your not a experienced listener, their sound will just overwhelm you. I've been listening to this band for the past four months, and it took me a while to finish Gestalt and Synkronyk in one sitting. With Gestalt, It's difficult to explain the songs as its hard to tell which one's which when your going through it all at once. The song structure seems to be wildly erratic, with it being fast and heavy for one second, and a complete rhythm change into something more mellow before it goes right back to pummel your ears again. Its very fast and aggressive.

Overall, its a good prog album being held down with how inaccessible their sound is, but I'm sure its their intention. I think a good four stars will give it enough justice.
