about

A Prison Called Earth Nantes, France

Influenced by the scandinavian extreme-prog scene, but at the same time free from the US heavy-prog technical excesses, the band developped a new kind of ambiant metal, featuring sophisticated structures.

This checks pretty much all the boxes of my blackened dm achilles heel preferences - progressive playing alongside compositional complexity; almost mythological lyrics with a doomy undercurrent of emotional urgency. It's almost like a siren song to my progressive metal dna. And I will take that ending solo in "Sold as a Crow" any day of the week. I was going to make an Intronaut comparison but wait - this is from 2014?! Shit! bcb723
