The Pitch: Eclectic metal music from Dubai, UAE that unites elements of djent, progressive, and groove metal.
What I Like: Great guitars all over these three songs. They utilize a number of elements that fall into the "djent" category, but I wouldn't describe their sound as all that similar to groups like Textures or Periphery. The music can be very melodic, but also heavy enough that I don't quite find myself calling it metalcore. There is only clean singing on the final track, courtesy of Shashank Bhatnagar (Undying Inc), which is a nice touch in this small dose.
What I Don't Like: The vocals could use some work. I like that they go the screams, but the vocal chords sound so constricted that they lack much diversity or presence. Production is lacking in this area as well. This music needs more room to breathe.
The Verdict: A solid EP that stands tall on its soaring riffs even if it could use some natural growth in the vocals department. Stream and purchase it below.
Flight's Fav's: Pathological, D.T.A.
