Psst, I heard you were looking for some unique riffs. We got what you need in here. As a bonus, the writers here in the toilet screwed up and BOTH Hans and I wrote a premiere, so you get two opinions for the price of one!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the Last Time<\/strong>, featuring past and current members of Sunless<\/strong>, Orwell<\/strong>, Iron Thrones<\/strong>, and Poney<\/strong>, is a breath of fresh air in the progressive instrumental realm. They take a truly unique approach, writing linearly evolving melodies that don\u2019t need to build to crescendos because they are basically always there already. They are abundantly aware that without the hook of vocals, you need to keep the listener on unsteady ground and never let a riff become stale.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall Framed Deliberate Fast Simple Feelings\u201d wastes no time getting to a frantic speed before evolving into a really catchy synth melody section. This is quickly broken up by some dissonant chords that ring out while the programmed drums do some truly wild stuff. The safe play without a drummer would have been to let the kit just support the rest of the fantastic talent on the roster, but why not go all out? For the rest of the run time, you basically get a new song every minute and a half, but each section flows into the next with perfect fluidity. It all caps off with a chillingly cathartic major-scale buzzing riff that could be the basis for a whole song by itself.<\/p>\n

Here’s Hans’s commentary:<\/p>\n

If I hear that a project features former members of\u00a0Sunless<\/strong>, I\u2019m gonna give it a go despite not being big on dissonant death metal. Always nice to hear experienced musicians explore other avenues. If I hear that an album is instrumental, my interest usually wanes as quickly as it came on. Despite vocals frequently ruining an experience, I seem to abhor their absence. If, however, that album is then described as \u201cpop metal,\u201d I\u2019m (perhaps morbidly) intrigued again, especially in conjunction with that first fact. What a rollercoaster!<\/p>\n
