Intronaut - Void (2006)

Intronaut "Void"

2006, Goodfellow Records

One band from the good side of progressive metal. I thank Mother Mary and all the gods ever made up by the human mind that this genre still has artists, not only mindless, pointless, lifeless guitarists that reign the intrument's technicality but fail to create a song with soul whatsoever. To quote J.Black: "You've been focused so hard on making it, you forgot about one thing. It's called the music."

Artistic enough compositions and harsh vocals make the release easy-listening and enjoyable. Some songs here still make me move, even after donkey repeat times, its still not my favourite album because ok, nothing like Valley of Smoke, but that doesnt mean its worth it. Intronaut are a group of talented dudes. And there's a single coming in a few days.

Reckoning

From all the hills came screams. A piece of sky beside the crescent sun was detaching. It was a loosened circle of evening sky, suddenly lighted from the back. It was an abrupt black body out of nowhere; it was a flat disk; it was almost over the sun. That is when there were screams. At once this disk of sky slid over the sun like a lid. The sky snapped over the sun like a lens cover. The hatch in the brain slammed. Abruptly it was dark night, on the land and in the sky. In the night sky was a tiny ring of light. The hole where the sun belongs is very small. A thin ring of light marked its place. There was no sound. The eyes dried, the arteries drained, the lungs hushed. There was no world. We were the world’s dead people rotating and orbiting around and around, embedded in the planet’s crust, while the earth rolled down. Our minds were light-years distant, forgetful of almost everything.
