about

dprp.net review by Jerry van Kooten:
"Their own description mentions elements of progressive rock, post-rock, post-metal, prog-metal, math-rock, djent. Part of that appeals to me, so got me interested. It is instrumental too! This is their first release, from 2014. A long EP or a short album, whatever you like.

The description is apt. The opening track is a remarkably varied composition with different prog styles. The math/djent appears in Through Axis, but only briefly, before it takes a prog-metal turn with good riffing and a lovely groove. Composition over solos, but still melodic.

The title track and Mirs-Pirs fit the math or djent sub-genre the most. Zappa-esque tricks and licks, Dream Theater (during the second half of the 1990s) riffing, but that, to my taste, is where music is losing its warmth. The closing track is my favourite, with more elements of post-rock and its soaring melody.

This has some very well performed, good and varied compositions, and good production. If the heavy and more technical side of prog interests you, have a listen. Their second (bandcamp) release was from mid 2015 and very short and there have been no recent posts on their Facebook page. Pity as I think this band could get a lot of attention if they release a full album."

Russian vk.com/post_music premiere:
"Дебют от прогового коллектива из Лыткарино. Очень долгожданная работа для меня, как завсегдатая московской андеграундной сцены. Услышал их впервые 3 года назад тут, и ребята сразу заинтересовали каким-то особым весёлым замесом пост-рока и пост-метала. Со временем ребят потянуло в математику и прог, а живые их выступления всё больше не оставляли равнодушной публику как уровнем исполнения, так и оригинальной работой с залом, вовлекающей в происходящее."

Monomyth

Музыканты предпочитают свободное и парящее исполнение: да - психоделическое, да — прогрессивное, но они слишком были заняты музыкой, чтобы соответствовать чему бы то ни было в полной мере. И вот desert rock – кажется, это ближе к десятке на мишени. Да, пусть будет так. полностью https://resurgam.ucoz.ru/blog/transnadeznost_39_2018_monomyth_zavisimyj_lejbl_digipak/2019-12-04-943 resurgam2716

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL. Stephan

Did already like the very first lp on R.A.I.G pretty much, but this and the one before beat that imho by far. Great record of great musicians, everybody with an open mind should listen. :) musicjunkie
