I found this album on Bandcamp, and it came pretty highly recommended. I am always on the hunt for new music, so I figured I would give it a listen and a review. The album has ten songs, and "The Void" is first. The opening tones are fuzzy, followed by smooth, harmonized vocals over a bed of aggressive music. This odd combination fuels a very original sound. It waxes and wanes a few times, going from tepid to contentious. "Tabula Rasa" begins with a swirling of meaty, thick bass guitars and a heavy rhythmic cadence. Again, the juxtaposition of the calm, gentle vocals keeps the sounds mysterious.

"Triangles and Crosses" has a gentle but somewhat ominous opening. Listen to how well the instruments work together...they are hasty and stay in perfect cadence. The meter shifts are also handled with expert care, and the eerie leads offer another fantastic layer of sound. "Day of the Dead" hears the dexterous Progressive elements taking center stage, but not at the expense of the melody. Indeed, they do this very well. The gentle piano notes at the end are also in direct conflict with the brutal, Djent elements, but is just works so well.

"One Eye" begins with some funky electronic elements that are quickly replaced with rhythmic accents that are as strong and tightly bonded as titanium. "Hivemind" has eerie spoken words amidst ominous tones of warning. "Lithium Blue" has a clean guitar into, high melody markers, and smooth, harmonized vocals, followed by more punishing rhythms. "2+2=5" has calm, pleasing tones, especially in the vocals. They are followed by apocalyptic sounds that warn the listener. "Hurt" has more of those melodic tones that tantalized you while the heavy Djent rhythms fuel your more sinister side. There are also some electronic elements that help to fill in the background.

"The Great Maze" closes the album. Threatening elements sees the hair rise on the back of your neck, while the inviting elements pull you in, despite the warning. The tones slowly move from dark to forbidding along the way. Overall, even in the vast and expanse genre of Progressive Metal, this was a unique album, and that is very difficult to accomplish. The album had a mixture of harrowing, ominous elements and smooth, accessible melodies. But it was the way that these were combined that make it so unique. It was all about the use of tension. This feature kept the listener on his toes, because at times it was buried in the background, while other times it was right in your face. The musicianship was impeccable as well.
