✦✦✦✧ Entheos is now a power trio. Think about that as the safety lapbar comes down and you are immediately launched onto this wild ride. Navene Koperweis handles the guitars as well as drums on this album, while Evan Brewer is back on bass. The result is a sound that slides adroitly from death metal to prog to jazz, equal parts Torrential Downpour and Meshuggah at their most experimental. (Given that this album functions as a single suite of connected songs, think of Catch Thirty Three or even Fredrik Thordendal’s Special Defects.) And yet, the album is full of catchy riffs, complex but pleasing grooves, and Chaney Crabb’s perfect vocals. This is a dark prog metal Must-Listen, at least once.
