Very professional production, decent band, relatively tight and a decent mix of different styles. Not my cuppa tea but that's irrelevant. What are these guys, Haitian? African? ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

the rapping is laughably bad, the songwriting is bad. The chorus is extremely catchy, but that doesnt mean you can just repeat it 6 times and say the song is good. and the production is not good, dont lie to them. everything sounds hollow and bad, especially the programmed drums. The only thing that sounds good and/or unique is the guitar player's voice. just let that guy sing the whole time, or get a new 'singer'
the song is also not progressive in any way. its literally a pop song

The production seems good to me also. It's an interesting mix of styles. I think it would be a stretch to call this progressive rock (though I will admit I could be wrong about this), but there are clearly some influences from prog and prog metal evident in places, as well as pop rock, Reggae, Caribbean and African music. The songs with rapping are from a guest vocalist (H.Weapons). On other songs, the guitarist holds down lead vocal duties. I found some more samples from this band here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4ld_W9a4kA" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4ld_W9a4kA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCd0QhL7E6U" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCd0QhL7E6U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-h0mjzeogA" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-h0mjzeogA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2QLRtmPPr0" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2QLRtmPPr0 (live performance in Lomé) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cxYnUqTx2E" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cxYnUqTx2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Mf2LKHnL4" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Mf2LKHnL4 The Spirit of Metal website lists them as "fusion" and their country of origin is Togo. http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/groupe-groupe-Arkan-l-en.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/groupe-groupe-Arka'n-l-en.html ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

  Well, this kind of mash up of styles remind me a lot of some bands going on on Brazil... It remember even a little bit of http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6yCx_42Icc&index=8&list=PLLsJE2442zc8UJwGRBzIJh8h4nFWxgU9K" rel="nofollow - Chico Science (more in attitude than music, perhaps).
