Progressive death metal band formed in 1996 in France but gained popularity near about 2000-2001 with the release of their album 'Terra Incognita'. The band mostly deals with environmental issues and has a pretty heavy feel to its sound coupled with a characteristic slow heavy guitars and fast thumping double bass which just adds to the listening experience. Decent vocals considering the French background and consist of both death metal growls and clean vocals. Major Influences have been listed as Death, Metallica, Tool, Meshuggah. Since 'Terra Incognita', the band has released 3 more studio albums till date, 'The Link', 'From mars to Sirius' and 'The way of all flesh'.
Must listen:
- Love
- The heaviest matter of the universe
- To Sirius
- All the tears
- Ocean Planet
Footnote: Can get a little monotonous after a while. Good listen on the whole! Very nice to hear environmental issue based lyrics in metal though. A very commendable departure from conventional lyrics!
