binky_bass Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I've recently discovered this band and dayum are they good! 'The Tide, The Thief & The Rivers End' is a spectacular album, as is 'Rise Radiant', particularly the song 'Salt'. REALLY worth a listen. Anyone else aware of these guys? 3 Quote

Interesting time signatures and great tone. Listen to the first 3 songs on 'Rise Radiant', if you like those 3 you'll like the rest! 2 Quote

KevB Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Yes, I started picking up some of their albums a couple of years back, can't recall where I got the tip off from. They have been featured recently in Prog magazine (110). I've had the new album downloaded for a while but not listened yet, I have a backlog of about 40 unlistened albums that I'm working through! Blame mp3va... Quote
Thunderbird Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 They sound like biffy Clyro to me from the couple of tracks I heard on YouTube not really for me I'm afraid Quote
ubit Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Thanks for that. I have just checked them out and they are indeed, very good. 1 Quote
Barking Spiders Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 There are times I step outside my comfort zone and check out stuff which is not my bag e.g. prog, metal and all points in between. Once in a blue moon I'm won over but not this time I'm afraid. Mucho soz. Quote
binky_bass Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 Music is one of the most subjective things there is! Especially with fairly niche bands like this. But you're wrong and they're great. 😝 Quote
Skybone Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 As a big fan of things prog-y and metal-y, I thought I'd give them a try. Always on the look out for decent new music. I'm afraid that they're not my bag either. The syncopated rhythm thing is tight, but a bit overbearing and gets a bit tedious for me, a bit too "genre specific", and playing to a specific genre IMO. They're good, just not my thing. I have found a few good bands on Spotify, like Black Book Lodge, Klone & Cog from Australia. Quote
