Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a staggeringly technical instrumental powerhouse, the French ensemble bridges the gap between modern djent and erratic jazz fusion. 'Uncommon Grounds' is intensely complex, utilizing dense, heavy guitar polyrhythms and chaotic time signature changes to push avant-garde metal to its limits.
