The drumming parts are very good on this cd. We found some very impressive instrumental breaks. I found a little Riverside's influence and Heaven's Cry a band coming from the same region.

Hey guys

After two focussed listens, I'd definitely say this band has a place in prog metal here on PA.

Absolutely fantastic rhythm section, juicy guitar noise and all-round fantastic music. The vocals all have a strong French accent, and although not genuinely "metal" sounding, they're great!

The band has a lot of post-metal influence, and some crossover staples, although are dominantly prog metal. Its a genuine quality band, and I nearly feel guilty that their album is free

They're incredibly accessable for a listener - I listen to very little metal, but I really like this band and believe in what they do.

Something Possesses Me is the albums obvious epic, and although the instrumentation and composition is technically insane, its never at the cost of poetic or compositional integrity, and I have a great respect for that.

This band sounds alot like TOOL at times, and at others, sounds like VAN GOUGH without the synth riffs.

I definitely plan on buying their album when I have some spare cash.
This is a really promising band, and I think I should thank rdtprog for bringing them to my attention!

I'd say they belong in prog metal, although I can't say for sure, I'm not a big listener of the genre.

Hope that helps, and if the band is eventually included in PA, I'm more than happy to write reviews and help with a bio.
(Note: If you're looking for info on their site, a lot of it is still under development and/or in French... If you speak the language, no problem, but otherwise the site can be quiet irritating to navigate around.)

Myxomatosis are cleared for addition: Myxomatosis: http://progfreak.com/home/progarchives?path=pm/cleared

And I´ll take you up on that offer Joel if you still want to write a bio and add album(s). Just PM the bio to me and I´ll add the band and give you notice so you can add the album(s). You´ll of course be credited for your work.

The link to the free album didn´t work for me which is a shame, because I would like to review the album too.
