│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It's been 4 years since their excellent When ║ │
│║ Time Fades... CD, but New Jersey's progressive ║ │
│║ metal titans Suspyre are back with their latest ║ │
│║ release, simply titled Suspyre. There have been ║ │
│║ some changes in the Suspyre camp since we've ║ │
│║ last seen them, and the band is now comprised of ║ │
│║ Clay Barton (vocals), Sam Bhoot (bass), Andrew ║ │
│║ Distabile (guitar), Gabriel Marshall (drums), ║ │
│║ Gregg Rossetti ( guitars, fretless bass, Chapman ║ │
│║ Stick, tenor saxophone, alto saxophone), and ║ │
│║ April Sese (keyboards). Fret not, despite some ║ │
│║ changes, the band has not altered their approach ║ │
│║ to creating adventurous progressive metal of the ║ │
│║ highest quality. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Let me just start off by saying that Clay Barton ║ │
│║ is one of the most underrated vocalists in ║ │
│║ progressive metal today. This guy just keeps ║ │
│║ getting better and better, and his mix of high ║ │
│║ pitched vocals and gruff Russell Allen insprired ║ │
│║ snarls (alongside the death metal growls from ║ │
│║ guest singer Rob DeSimone) on "Tranquility & ║ │
│║ Stress" is truly remarkable, adding to the ║ │
│║ carefully arranged musical chaos perfectly. ║ │
│║ Guitarists Distabile & Rossetti drop in some ║ │
│║ tasty lead lines and melodies on the catchy "The ║ │
│║ Divided Son", while the textured and quite jazzy ║ │
│║ "Still Bending the Violet" is a great vehicle ║ │
│║ for Rossetti and his sax, but also features some ║ │
│║ wonderful guitar solos. The mix of acoustic pop, ║ │
│║ jazz, and prog on "Canc·n" is quite addicting, ║ │
│║ and the crunchy "The Cycle" is heavy yet ║ │
│║ majestic, featuring some challenging unison ║ │
│║ guitar & keyboard lines. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The last two songs on the album are also the ║ │
│║ most progressive, those being "The Whispers ║ │
│║ Never Written" and "The Man Made of Stone". ║ │
│║ Rossetti adds in some sultry sax amidst the ║ │
│║ crushing riffs, atmospheric keys, and soaring ║ │
│║ vocals from Barton on the former, while on "The ║ │
│║ Man Made of Stone" the intensity is kicked up a ║ │
│║ notch, as Rossetti & Distabile lay down some ║ │
│║ impressive riffs, pinch harmonics, and solos in ║ │
│║ a song that also includes Bhoots' nimble bass ║ │
│║ grooves and some inventive keyboard textures ║ │
│║ from Sese. At the forefront though are Barton's ║ │
│║ wonderfully powerful vocals, and equally ║ │
│║ important are the backing vocals, which are ║ │
│║ expertly layered for maximum effect. Just a ║ │
│║ killer piece to close out the CD. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Honestly, I've had a soft spot for this band ║ │
│║ since they first arrived on the scene, and they ║ │
│║ continue to impress in a big way here on ║ │
│║ Suspyre. Not centent to just take the Dream ║ │
│║ Theater inspired path that so many other ║ │
│║ progressive metal acts head towards, Suspyre add ║ │
│║ plenty of prog, jazz, and pop flavors into their ║ │
│║ metal brew, giving them one of the most unique ║ │
│║ styles on the scene. Stunning stuff once again ║ │
│║ from a band that just keeps getting better. ║ │
