Sounds like: Progressive Metal
A few months back, New Jersey based Progressive Metal band Circadian Lapse released their "A Suppressed Existence". Let us tell you why you need this album in your life if you're even remotely into Metal. The opener "The Chemistry of Division" gets started by way of quite a diddy of a guitar riff which then explodes into a fury of Progressive Metal sound. The head bang appeal is off the charts with the track as the breakdowns and melody drives the blistering track. "Misstep", the lead single, is hard as nails. The breakdowns are vicious, the melodies soar and the technicality of the instrumentation are top notch. The track will surely get the mosh pits moving at live shows. "Semantics" is the shortest track on the album. The track is fast, heavy and unrelenting. It's pure adrenaline at its best in music form. "Invisible Council" cranks the heaviness up to 11. The Between The Buried And Me comparisons are strong on the track as veers in and out of waves of Progressive Metal/Metalcore. "Mouth Breather" doesn't waste any time in getting started. The track pushes the album to new heights with its melodic tendencies and heavy as hell breakdowns. "Catharsis" chugs along at a nice pace. The early Every Time I Die influence is heard on the track as different heavier genres blend nicely for an easy to listen to track. "A Sentence Sentenced To Run On" starts off slow but the slow burn culminates in pure chaos. It's a nice slowed down that that;ll take some listeners by surprise. "Demon Box" isn't messing around. It's probably one of the heaviest tracks on the album. It has shades of Death Metal, Progressive Metal and even a dash of Metalcore. It's truly something to listen to as a fan of Metal music. "Introvert" is the only track that clocks in over five minutes and it doesn't disappoint. The track is probably one of the most melodic tracks on the album. It still packs a mighty punch though, so be warned. The closer and title track "A Suppressed Existence" opens with a fantastic guitar riff and doesn't let go once it sinks its teeth in. The track is pure Circadian Lapse and that's never a bad thing. Be sure to pick up this album if you need some high quality Progressive Metal in your life.
Verdict:
Circadian Lapse's newest album should be a delight for any fan of Progressive Metal music.
