Album Notes & Community Reviews
The instrumental progressive metal trio Canvas Solaris unleashed a highly challenging, polyrhythmic onslaught on 'Cortical Tectonics'. The incredibly dense recording operates without vocals, focusing entirely on frantic tempo changes, dissonant chord voicings, and labyrinthine structural complexity.
