Another great album found on Bandcamp. Aronious are a great progressive metal outfit and it's easy to see why in their latest album - Truth in Perception.
Aronious have quite a unique sound. Their vocalist has a really guttural and grainy sound which mixes well with the distorted tuning on the guitars. They also have some really great riffs that are quite catchy.
The opening track - Disillusionment I - really emphasize their sound and is probably the best example of their unique vocals and tuning.
Truth in Perception is the titled track for the album and is one of the standouts. Opening with a great riff, the song hooks you almost immediately. This time vocals are little more drawn out and are not so harsh or stop-start. Its a nice change of pace from the rest of the album.
My favourite track on the album - An Oblivious Contribution - starts off with recessed riff-age that slowly creeps up on you. When the vocalist kicks in the song really picks up. Really catchy riffs and some great sounding guitars.
An aptly named song, Untitled finishes off the album with an unusual atmospheric sound. Its almost indescribable, but its a nice way to end a high energy album with some unusual sounding noises. You have to listen to it I guess!
Check them out on bandcamp and give them some support.
