Despite giving us just a four track EP in "Infinie Patterns", each song from this Old school Progressive Trio, is laced with so many twists and turns that they each feel like their own album. The musicianship is so strong here that they're able to skip over rapid changes in genre and time signatures, all the while retaining an almost Gothic atmosphere over the whole album making this much more than just another Hyper-Prog" band.

"In A Dream" is the first track and it is just all over the place. Starting with a strong downward melodic phase, fans of both PORCUPINE TREE and SABBATH are going to feel right at home here, especially when the song becomes a surreal back alley, loose blues section, changing again into a bombastic and chaotic version of the intro. "Invisible Walls" starts with this amazing Egyptian styled intro that harkens back to some early MAIDEN inspired DREAM THEATER. These guys are loose and playing in a rather relative timing to each other, allowing each to expand their sections beyond their usual restrictive measures. The drumming is very fill heavy, like MASTODON and the interplay and counter-rhythms are a pure delight. The vocal harmonies, with it's poetic, catchy lyrics, flows throughout and they all fit the tone of the soundscape perfectly.

Now... If you can scream TOOL like you mean it, then you are going to love "Pendulum Time". A hypnotic, pulsating rhythm, with some solid bass drones and a silky guitar line that drifts around the beat. Enter some classic MAYNARD styled spoken lyrics, before repeating "I'm Breaking The Rules" over a broken down version of the first rhythm, that line saying as much for their attention to their craft as the lyrics initial intentions. The song kicks back in, the drummer utilizing so many rhythmic and dynamic techniques to manipulate your impression of time, causing the more straight forward chugging of the strings to appear disjointed and free to be their own entities. A classic metal riff dominates the speakers, powered by some propaganda announcement.

"Ruins" is the final track, and it just drips EVIL from the first note, as if Iommi himself had returned to the axe.  The music holds up the vocalists tale, rising and falling as a harmonious unit, throwing conventions to the side, taking the heart and soul of their music and allowing each riff and melodic counterpart to flow through a multitude of emotions and meaning. The middle of this track has a nice, short arpeggiated guitar line, before the group bound together in an intricate rhythm section, reminding me of the battle songs in many an JRPG before stopping, leaving a hollow void that is filled by a haunting monk like chant. And then return again stripped back, just drums and bass, rocking a very solid groove, the guitarists then just slinks his way over this, painting with notes. A strong message pulsates from within this, about being alone in the universe, and finally, it feels like an army of musicians start their own individual solo piece on top of one another, yet still able to stay out of each others way. Before they return to the riff that is at the heart of this piece, now added with more bombastic harmonies and melodies with a post-rock ending, reminding me of bands like MAYBESHEWILL.

A short, 27 minute EP, where every moment of every song packs more of a punch of musical expertise than most current high-budget albums. Their approach to writing and composing melodic chaos echoes that of the great legends, where every element is there to support the piece as a whole. You can tell that these guys are well versed in a wide range of musical genres and styles, and their understanding and appreciation for the composition is extraordinary. You get the sense that every note, has a place, and belongs with those it shares it's moment in time with. From the drums, the bass and guitar, to the vocals and backing vocals, they all pull their weight and work in harmony with one another.
