"The mix of subgenres could fill an almanac: Cybergrind drums scrape shoulders with Cynic-y prog-metal keys, while the black-math of Liturgy mingles with licks that sting with a djent-ish tang."
"Bruzzone's vocals seesaw between throat-buzzing alien croaks and clean vocals that wouldn't sound out of place on a Mars Volta ballad."
Authenticity in metal is debated, with various interpretations of its essence. Some are drawn to its filthiest and most insular forms, where music serves as a personal outlet. Andrea Bruzzone exemplifies this approach with his technical releases, focusing on intricate riffs and extraterrestrial synth work. His latest album returns to a more stripped-down style, showcasing maddening and ecstatic tracks. The music blends multiple subgenres, featuring elements of cybergrind, prog-metal, and black metal, with vocals that oscillate between alien croaks and melodic clean singing.
