![]() The riffs are rarely the best part of djenty prog, and that is no different here rather, they’re used as a shifting foundation upon which to build with more memorable material like lead guitar hooks and vocal melodies. ![]() I realized just how little of the music stuck with me. The drums are a strong suit of the record, with a versatile style that supports the melodic compositions well.īut as I listened to Oblivion more often and tried to plumb the depths of the record, something began to grate. Occasionally a very solid set of growls is pulled from a drawer, turning the weight up and slamming a pounding riff down, but the vocals are mostly light, clean and harmonized in a number of ways. Oblivion is a short bout of modern prog, mixing the lithe dynamic rhythms of Disperse with the mixture of ethereal synths and layered vocals with heavier djent riffs that VOLA became known for. On the first spin or two, where I judge the surface level, it seemed like it went in the right direction at least. But do Sullen live up to that much-maligned album? So when the first notes of Sullen’s Nodus Tollens – Act 1: Oblivion 1 reached my ear and I caught a Disperse-y scent in the air, I grinned and readied myself to write another loving review reviled by the masses. It was light, modern prog metal with a djenty undertone that everybody hated except for me and like 3 people, but I stand by my score for that record. ![]() But my first 4.0 was this album by Disperse. Honestly, this statement will probably not breed a great deal of recognition with the majority of you. Oh, I don’t mean the first 4.0 you listen to, I mean the first 4.0 you review for Angry Metal Guy.
