    I seriously think this band is underrated and should be much more popular BUT i believe that's about to change with them joining TOOL as special guest on their European Tour later this year. It's a great opportunity for them to get massively recognized. ❤

      I think the biggest barrier is just not having a vocalist. I love instrumental music but the vast majority of people aren’t that into it and want vocals to connect to.

    I’m so glad these guys are finally gaining more attention. I’ve been a massive fan since they dropped From the Gallery of Sleep, and with that album, it was obvious to me that they’d be at the forefront of prog metal. They’re all world-class musicians and insanely creative. They sound so familiar yet totally unique. Now all we need is for them to hop on a big tour!

      He filled in every last bit of time with noise, where’s the space to build tension? From 200hz-1,000hz it’s muddy and the guitar and bass loses definition besides the occasional melodic notes that peak through. Composition and mixing are a matter of preference, and to me, the drums were busy and the drum mix overshadowed the melodic elements of the music.

      @@crashthekid It’s called prog with a lot of contrasting elements. We can use eq and a band of numbers to describe it if you like but that doesn’t really describe aesthetics.
      To put it this way, these guys have been chosen to open for Tool at the starting dates of their euro tour. Being one of the biggest bands in our genre seems like quite a vote of confidence to me. More than you or me being commenters on UA-cam.

      @@gmyersgilmer9470 Did I mention aesthetics? I don't care what they look like. Yes, frequency is a good way to describe the quantitative and qualitative qualities of music. ItS cAlLeD pRoG... obviously bruh. I listen to metal and prog everyday. A lot of metal mixes lack tonal definition in the guitars and bass. I have a bachelors in composition and a masters in music from Berklee, amd im a professional audio engineer. This music lacks counterpoint and substance. Plus, prog is supposed to have different time signatures and all their music is in 4/4. I can't describe music unless I mix the album? That statement is not backed by any logic.
      In all honesty , that's awesome that they are opening for Tool for a couple shows. Good for them and I wish them all the success on their tour and finding new fans. They aren't that popular though, 80k monthly listeners is way below average considering most bands have 200-300k and Polyphia has 1.5 Million monthly listeners.
