The sound here definitely lands in the modern progressive style. Still, there are elements of things like Pink Floyd along with metal and even something a bit like Guns ‘N Roses. It’s a unique blend. It also works quite well. Prog purists will probably want to steer clear, but for the rest of us, it’s strong.

Starting with rather noisy atmosphere, this works out to a modern progressive rock sound. It’s moody and seems to combine things like Porcupine Tree with Pink Floyd and even Tool. The vocal performance on this is exceptional. The whole cut just works really well. It builds in organic ways. The instrumental section leading to the mellow movement is incredibly powerful and inspired. That mellow segment gives way to a killer melodic guitar solo.
