Zentraedi's vocalist reminds me a lot of Nathan DaSilva from Canadian band Slyde, but considering Slyde are pretty underground too, that's probably an unhelpful comparison. Vultress' vocalist channels a very Claudio Sanchez inspired delivery for much of this record, although missing much of the ridiculous theatricality and pronunciation that many find unappealing about Claudio's voice. The band makes regular use of the IQ/Arena 'stretchy' neo-prog synth that I am a big fan of, although I'm not certain it fits entirely with this music.Īlthough both these records centre themselves around progressive metal, with ample use of synthesiser and Dream Theater aesthetics, both bands have vocalists that pull them from that crowd and straight into the post-prog sounds of Coheed and Cambria or Circa Survive. Fortunately, for every average keyboard tone, there is a less average one in a different section. "Dodging the Remote" features some rather nasty ones, especially during the instrumental jam section. My major problems really lie with the tones of the instruments, particularly the keyboards, which house some inevitable cheesy sounds during this record's duration. On Seven Medley Sins, the production is far less of an obstacle, but there still is much to be desired. Often as well, the vocals would start to sound a bit off-key, especially when Anthony Capuano goes into his full Claudio Sánchez impression. Both albums suffer from a lack of variation within tones ? and with long albums this can definitely get a bit grating, but Distance had the frustrating problem of the vocals sounding distinctly placed out of the mix, as if they were floating over the top rather than blended in with the music. Distance's production was a huge obstacle for me, it sounded weak and amateurish, and during the parts when it wasn't being awesome, it really did start to frustrate me. Ok, ok, I first must get this one out of the way, since this is probably the only major topic upon which these albums differ. So I'll do so by running through a few central topics of similarity (and difference): Of course, the fact that one of these albums is significantly better than the other may veto this fact, but I really, honestly couldn't think of another way of discussing these records. This review is published in two versions, with different introductions and conclusions, but the same body, because these two albums, in my opinion, have very similar great parts and very similar flaws, and talking about them together only seems logical. So I have decided, completely unsure of whether this will work or not, to write an 'experimental review' of both albums at the same time.īut I don't want anyone to think that Zentraedi are a clone band because this was released after Distance, because Vultress are certainly just as unknown as these guys are, and I don't really think a band would go out of their way to copy and album that was pretty flawed in its own right. When it came to write a review of this album, I simply couldn't think of a way to discuss it without bringing up Distance every few seconds, and that would probably help no one in terms of comparison, since Distance is basically as unknown as this is. Both the genre and the influences, the country of origin and method of distribution, to even little things like the album length and number of tracks, and of course, how I feel about these two albums. It's actually quite uncanny how many similarities there are between this, Zentraedi's debut album, and Distance, the debut album from Vultress that was released last year. Note: this is also a review of Vultress' Distance
