This song got me through the pandemic. Got me excited about this band, and put the albums on repeat so many times, and bought all the albums. This didn’t go unnoticed with my SO and she secretly gifted me tickets to see them live. They are great live, and we had a blast!

I don’t normally listen to a lot of prog, but this band got me hooked with their heavy riffs and melancholic choruses.

    I saw them last year and they were amazing. The whole crowd singing along to Stray the Skies was phenomenal. I’ve struggled with severe anxiety issues for decades now, and that song just speaks to me.

    I like their sound. Thanks for sharing. I’m a fan of prog metal so I’ll definitely check out their albums. Do you recommend Witness as a good starting place or should I start from the beginning?

      Inmazes and Witness are both great. My favorite song is actually Inmazes because of the ending. I think the production value is best on witness, with some great breakdown riffs.

      I can’t choose.

      Applause of a distant crowd is pretty good too, with a few bangers, but not my favorite.

        I went with Inmazes because I like the lofi sound too, so I’m not too worried about quality.

        Starburn really stood out to me. As did Your Mind Is A Helpless Dreamer. I really like the chuggy, mathy riffs and the vocals. Also, great use of synth throughout. Thanks again for the recommendation
