Time Signature
The words...

Genre: progressive metal

As a cognitive scientist, I guess I ought to have checked out the 2012 album "Cognitive", but I never got around to it. So, to make up for this, I decided to check out their 2014 follow-up "Tellurian" which was released in February via Spinefarm Records.

Drawing on a more Tool-inspired sound, the focus of the tracks on this release is on the compositions and their dynamics and dark atmosphere rather than on musicianship. This is not to say that Son are bad musicians. On the contrary, they are very skilled and the ability to write challenging songs is also an important aspect of musicianship, and few musicians would be able to pull off the technically advanced riffage in 'Kuraman'. But there is no focus on how good the musicians are. There is no instrumental wankery. It is all about the songs.

The vocal style is crooning an subdued and adds an introvert feel to the already dark and brooding music itself. This may take some getting used to for fans of otherwise flamboyant progressive metal vocalist, but it works very well, once you have taken it in.

Fans of darker and more atmospheric progressive metal akin to Tool and Thine should definitely check out this album.
