OPPOSING MIRRORS

SHUMAUN nervous progressive hard rock with reminiscences of DREAM THEATER, RUSH, FATES WARNING, ALICE IN CHAINS see DEFTONES. Nervous guitars, keyboard shaping the air for prog metal with three drummers.

"The Perils of Amnesia" marks the imprint of a melodic prog metal with oriental Persian scents, all concocted with a vocal flirting with that of VANDEN PLAS; the drums set the mood. "Balance" bass forward amplifying the heaviness with a keyboard solo flirting with that of the MARILLION, the guitar solo flows like a torrent; voice growl for a micro second and the progressive space which smells like DREAM THEATER, energetic. "Opposing Mirrors" in radio edit, concise, compact, rhythmic, fits in; Thomas on sticks sets the rhythm. "Anxiety and Daydreams" for the instrumental prog metal ballad; superposition of melodic layers, nervous sounds, post rock atmosphere; a touch of sadness to leave by closing your eyes and accepting to be invaded by the guitar notes; predictable and well done all the same.

"That Which Turns" returns to a heavy composition and its small progressive space during an enjoyable solo break with acoustics; the hard riff and the same vocals, average. "Beyond Reflection" offers a slow marshmallow ballad on a text concerning the death of his father; dark in fact, sad but that's Life; the voices are indeed his father asking to come home; the solo gives a little color to this moment and can serve as a passage between our two worlds, the drums held by Leo. "Some Memories" relaunches the prog metal of DREAM THEATER, a riot of diverse sounds; an aggressive riff washes away our cues, making the air clean; it's Marco who hits, the bass on MAIDEN; the variation launches a more energetic guitar solo you can't; it's modern, the voice can slow down a bit, the very catchy melody which rounds out the violence. "Porcelain Trees" as an epic piece, a velvety keyboard at the start brings the most musically; high-pitched, growl voice intensifying his lyrics about injustices; a stage with the jerky rhythm that gets carried away and the drums that channel; calm and energetic, meandering on melodic metal that lacks the nerve of prog blood.
