Listening now: If you dig prog with a tinge of metal, this whole album is a treat.
"As the Waters Cover the Sea" by Umpfel.
@Dashdrum Understood. I rarely enjoy cookie monster vocals, either. But I can enjoy it in moderation, or if it's interspersed with great vocal harmonies. Like this song (below)... GREAT song with its almost schizophrenic genre switching, the entire song though is so good that I can handle the yell vocals in the initial 6 seconds and a few seconds near the end (seriously, check out the whole thing, it's crazy good). So sad this band ended. 😢
@codeWhisperer This is one of a kind for sure! Four obviously talented guys. Sorry to hear they couldn't last, although I'm sure prog metal is a tough genre in which to make a living.
@codeWhisperer And I'm going to use the term "Cookie Monster vocals" from now on
@codeWhisperer This instrumental was very cool - thanks for recommending. However, the next track by this band started with scream vocals - not a fan at all.
