The trick to super groups is letting each member express his own approach to music and display his own skill set. The trick to modern progressive metal is to realize that the age of shredding and “gotta go fast” approach is fast fading from overuse.
When you take these two tricks and mix them together, displaying the perfect example of how to provide the realization of both, you get Escape the Cult. The guest list is impressive: creator Peter Shallmin from Kamlath, Tim Alexander of Primus fame, guitar wizard Mike Wead of King Diamond and none other than the unique Matthieu Romarin of Uneven Structures. More impressive than the list though is the album itself: an engaging and masterful aural merging of all this astonishing talent into one cohesive whole.
