Week 2 of the S bands and it's gonna be somewhat of a Metal week, so strap in. Starting the week off is some Instrumental Prog Metal. Fans of the genre should find this one a little interesting. Scale The Summit hail from Houston TX and play Prog Metal minus a vocalist. The interesting thing is the guitars in the band are custom 7 and 8 string guitars, oh and there's a 6 string Bass too. Intrigued yet? Formed in 04, the band has released 3 albums to some acclaim. Having also toured with bands like Dream Theater and Between The Buried And Me, the band has been making a name for themselves out on the road as well. Decided to go with 09's
'Carving Desert Canyons' for tonight's selection. 8 tracks clock in at 40 min, not what you might expect with a Prog Metal band. However this album is actually pretty good and technical. Worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre.
I got this CD along with a bunch of other stuff after displaying my music knowledge for some trivia question. I had never heard of the band, but keeping an open mind threw it in and was impressed. I got the chance to see them open up for Between The Buried and Me, along with Cynic and Devin Townsend. Along with Devin they were the highlight of the night. The low light, having my car towed by some jackass business owner. Anyways, the band does play the style well and for being a technical band of sorts, really pull it off well live. Really seems like a promising band and one to watch out for in the coming years.
Excellent Share! An exciting dialogue is well worth comment. I think you ought to compose much more on this matter, it may well not be considered a taboo issue but typically individuals usually are not enough to speak on this sort of topics.
