twosuitsluke, Pestilence are a band that should've had more love. Excellent on every level. I think you will dig Spheres. Let me know, I'm curious what you think. Cheers!
Yea, I liked this. It's death metal but not that straightforward classic death metal. There's synths, jazzy elements, groovy basslines, atmospheric interludes but also still that classic death metal feel, especially in the Obituary-esque vocals.
I've gotten into Nocturnus the last year or so and they are kinda similar as they incorporate synths (but also have a sci fi side to them, which is also of great appeal).
I've just been reading up on the band as I had no clue about their history. Turns out I've heard three of their albums. Two are more recent (Exitivm and Doctrine) and the classic Consuming Impulse. Spheres is easily my favourite of the bunch, so much so I'm spinning it again straight after.
I'll give this a go as well as I've seen the album cover before but never gave them a go.
