Lights and Perfections, by The Burial.The power of art really is a force to be reckoned with. To have you look at something and be intrigued by it, wanting to know more about it's story. Soon all you're doing is staring at it intently, as if it were a really attractive person.Maybe I am delving too much into the album art cover of Lights and Perfections by The Burial, but I have to say, it truly is amazing.The Burial is a progressive death metal band, and this is their sophomore release. Now, I hadn't even heard of this band until I was looking at upcoming releases, and saw this artwork, along with two tracks available for listening pleasure, so of course I had to take a list
Lingua Franca, by T.R.A.M.Honestly, I think the best thing about being such a prolific instrumentalist is that jumping from project to project will have people listening to your music no matter what genre you decide to dive into.Which brings me to T.R.A.M., and more to the first point, Tosin Abasi, who isn't even the star of this record.

Their first few albums, The Exodus of Autonomy and Beyond the Gate were tasteful in adding breakdowns in their music. Unlike their counterparts in the deathcore scene, the breakdowns were scarce, but very creative and catchy, breaking out of the mold of just chugging in a cliche manner. The band as
Noctourniquet, by The Mars Volta.Has there ever been a band that you could enjoy to an extent, only finding yourself enamored of a couple tracks through out that bands discography? Like being disappointed in a majority of the albums put out by them, but sufficing with the diamonds in the rough found on every effort put out by said band?Case in point, or my point: The Mars Volta.The Mars Volta is a progressive rock band from El Paso, Texas, hailing to be a fresh take on the subgenre. Don't get me wrong, the band has made it's stand in sticking out aesthetically, and sound-wise. Cranking out long jams and bold passages of latin-infused rock with overtones of psychedelia. I
Not in the mood.
Fuck the fucking fuck off.
