I'm impressed.  What I'm hearing reminds me a lot of Glass Hammer, but with a lot more twists, and some very Rick Wakeman-esque keyboards.

There are parts of 'Industrial Monsters' that really sound like the title.  Very successful metaphor-through-music (I'm not sure what else to call it).  I generally enjoyed the 1st sample more than the 2nd because the 1st one had more unexpected deviations, but both were good.

'Constant Night' started out reminding me of Phantom of the Opera, and then I hear Phantom of the Opera meets Glass Hammer!   An interesting mix.  Something I'm really noticing here, though, is that the lead vocals seem very quiet in the mix.  It may be my headphones, though.  I love the 1st minute of the 2nd sample.  Just lovely!  The next theme after that is also beautiful, although it did instantly remind me of Glass Hammer again.

'Icepick' starts out with an unusual mix of light prog vocals and synth with a very pop feel.  The mix actually hooked me in quickly.  You guys certainly have an ear for beauty.  Every one of these samples has some gorgeous chord changes and overarching guitar solos.  I enjoyed the neat 'stretchy' feel to the beginning of the 2nd sample, although the piece that comes after it threw me off a bit.  I like unusual percussion, but there were a few sounds in there that seemed to intrude to me rather than enhance the song.  But maybe that was what you were going for. 

Overall I like the music, but I tend to prefer music less light than this.  That's a personal preference, though - anyone who goes for the lighter end of prog will probably love this.  The musicianship is very professional, and the transitions crisp.
