I’m not sure how one would go about drawing similarities between hills and white lions, but Hills Like White Lions evoke similarities to good progressive metal groups, by virtue of being one. Read more ›› |

Three great albums released on my birthday this year? This is insane.

I wonder if that band name is a Hemingway reference.

The ever-present ambient synth works really well for the album's atmosphere, I also enjoy the crunchy guitar riffs in calmer parts, and the slow builds into technicality ("Maelstrom"). Drawback is the vocals which feel a little odd for some reason, I believe it is just the singers tone, but possibly also his overuse of glissando. The album starts very strong but about halfway through goes to acceptable quality. Overall a nice listen, flows well, and has a nice calming atmosphere.
