Hibernal for Heavy Prog

Sent for eval at the heavy quarters

My pleasure

Thanks Twseel.  Yeh I had no idea how to classify this thing.  A few people told me it sounded like Porcupine Tree so I decided to throw it at Heavy and see if it stuck.

The Heavy team looks like they're voting to move it but I'm not sure where:

Maybe even Crossover?  I'm really not sure.  I'd be interested to hear what other people think.

Thanks for the update yamyam.  Sounds like it might be bouncing around for a while in that case.  

If the team to which the move is to be made also uses progfreak, then you will see them show up as 'new' under that team in the 'Recent Changes' progfreak link you previously quoted once the move has been officially made. However, the third 'move' vote cast in Heavy for Hibernal was to Post Rock again, and Post Rock team aren't currently using progfreak, so the answer to your question in this case is 'there isn't'.

Just a note that the album is no longer free on Bandcamp as I'm trying to recover some production costs so I can get on with making another album.  Well, that's the plan anyway! 

If and when it's added to PA I can give reviewers free download codes etc if interested.

Another update on this, I contacted Angel and was advised that the Post Rock team are in fact using Progfreak so I'll be able to keep track of it that way after all.

It seems as though Hibernal has been cleared by the post rock team:

My thanks to the teams for having a listen!  So if you're waiting for a bio, here it is.  Please let me know if there's anything else you need.

"Hibernal is a progressive rock project created by Mark Healy of Brisbane, Australia.  With a strong focus on storytelling and atmosphere, Hibernal interweaves spoken word with instrumental music pieces to tell a compelling storyline that unfolds throughout the course of the album.

Musically, there are a number of different styles on offer, ranging from atmospheric post rock, to moody acoustic guitar arrangements and hard rock riffs.  Each of these elements are used to craft soundscapes that drive and complement the narrative.  The use of sound effects and a professional voice cast add to the immersion.

Like most concept albums, a Hibernal album should be experienced from start to finish for maximum effect.

The debut album ‘The Machine’, released in 2013, is an exploration of ambition, sadness and our choices in life told through crunching hard rock riffs and soaring guitar.  The story revolves around a man climbing the corporate ladder inside a powerful company, who finds that with each promotion he must sacrifice a part of himself."
