Back to a more conventional progressive metal sound with New Jersey's ambitious Suspyre.
A relatively unknown band, Suspyre plays a lot of notes, plenty of twisty changes of direction, heavy pairing of guitar and synth, busy double-kick set work and strong, clear vocals. The compositions and especially the guitar work feature a bit more dissonance than you typically hear in rock music, even of the progressive variety, and the classical influences are overt, making the band, to my ear, a bit more interesting than their more straight-ahead peers. All-in-all, solid musicianship, both technically and compositionally and a pretty satisfying listen. Check out the below song, The Singer, and let me know if you agree.
