Initium
is a cool prog band with a sound that combines both more old school
masters like Dream Theater with more modern Djent stuff, or even
elements of Between The Buried and Me. The guitar playing is a really
cool mix of old and new. I guess you could best describe it as what
would happen if John Petrucci played in a djent band that really like
Between the Buried and Me. The playing is brilliant and the guitarist
is a true master. He gets plenty of chances to show it too. He truly
shines on this record. The bass playing is also fairly excellent and
on the acoustic pauses there is some truly masterful bass stuff that
goes down. It adds a lot of flavor to the band and keeps things
interesting. The drumming is spectacular, able to keep up with djent
stuff and more typical prog playing he shows that he too is a master.
It's really brilliant to see these musical geniuses all getting
together and creating some brilliant songs. The growls are very
powerful and they add an aggressive layer to what is a rather
technical band. All in all Initium is a stellar act that we will not
soon forget. They truly get prog and could very well become legends!
