Prog Metal: post #3200 — TG.ME

🟢 The most fun and exciting straight-up technical death metal I’ve heard all year so far. - Angry Metal Guy 🟢 Fast, furious, brutal, and technical progressive tech death that will melt your face off! - Metal of the Day 🟢Theasterion is one of the most refreshing, fun, bombastic, and simply wonderful tech death albums I’ve heard in quite a long while. - Metal Epidemic 🟢 The band's debut album, Theasterion, is an astute masterstroke of progressive melodic death metal wrapped in thoughtful and technical aggression, deep space sci-fi storytelling and stunning amounts of conservatory-level musicianship. - Decibel Magazine 🔴 Moments of questionable mixing detract a bit from Theasterion’s overall impact. The early guitar solo of “Le Flamboiement Stellaire” and violin addition at the conclusion of “Unkhalai Supernovo” are largely hidden underneath the surrounding instruments, at times becoming almost imperceptible. Though Volubilis do create a diverse sonic experience, the guitar phrases at the mid-point of the album, namely the opening section of “Ashes & Embers”, begin to blend together in a riff-salad. - The Progressive Subway 📊 Ratings: Metal Epidemic: 9 Zware Metalen: 8.2 Angry Metal Guy: 8 The Progressive Subway: 7.5 Metal Temple: 7 🟢 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞: 7.9
