Distorted Force Curves of Sidereal Cosmos Rating [3.5/5.0] |
|
Here we’re treated to a truly underground and very independent
release from Thessaloniki, Greece with the third album from progressive metal
band Distorted Force. They’re not ultra-modern nor are they an odd
power metal band as you might expect. ‘Curves of Sidereal Cosmos’ is akin to
early Depressive Age, Thought Industry, and perhaps
post-’88 Fates Warning in that they work a massive,
well-considered concept into ornate and riff-oriented heavy metal structures.
They touch upon death and thrash metal guitar and vocal work as they slash
through extended performances that are clever and in the tradition of true
progressive metal that isn’t all about pompous performance or cheesy slick
production values. The death metal growls and twisted riffing reminded me
of Disciples of Power when they were transitioning from a
thrash band towards a prog-death style but with a lot more melodrama and less
drug-induced paranoia. This was a very limited self-release, I think less than
100 copies, so check it out while it is still possible.
