Shattered Skies - debut album in January

[Random Axe]

Hey, Mardoch, this one is for you...well, and me too.

I've been following these guys for a while waiting for them to get signed. I guess they found a small Euro label. Badass stuff, folks. They are mixing djenty-ness with Circus Maximus like vocals. The entire djent movement may be wearing thin and dying off but this sounds fresh. Enjoy.

 

[Mardoch]

Shit, I was sold when that first riff started! That's a sick groove.

They didn't always have a vocalist, right? He's pretty enjoyable, if on the border of high and thin (reminds me of like a mellow Sean from TSF).

Will buy without a doubt. Thanks! (I think I said "fuck yeah!" 4 times during this song, lol.)

 

[Hammerlock]

That is a pretty sick fucking riff! I like this a lot, but then again I've never had a huge problem with djent as a whole. The big problem with djent is that there is good djent and bad djent, like any other kind of metal. I think what people have against djent is that when it's bad, it's REALLY BAD. But there's plenty of room to be creative with it too and do some really cool stuff.

Wow! That's really good stuff. Thanks for posting this!

not sure how that is different to any other genre to be honest.

You are right that there is a lot of room to be creative with djent, the haters have no idea how genuinely diverse the djent scene is

 

[AngraRULES]

FINALLY. About time their disc will come out.

 

[KingsGene]

Wow....these guys sound great.

 

[Mardoch]

Wow....these guys sound great.

I wasn't expecting you to jump on for these guys. Nice!

 

[KingsGene]

Normally not a djent guy.... but the overall melodic sound overpowers the djent-ness. And the outstanding musicianship....quality!

 

[Random Axe]

Here's another tune from the upcoming debut.








This one is also apparently on the album, it's a bit older though. Still groovy.

 

[Mardoch]

15 Minutes is only 5:09...I feel jipped.

 

[MYSTIC1]

These guys are really good. Listening to their EPs on bandcamp now. New fan here.

 

[High Speed Kurt]

I enjoyed that. The strong melody is what separates this from other djent bands. More of a "song"

Then you haven't listened to much djent at all

 

[jaimek]

This is awesome from the get-go.

 

[Mardoch]

I've not stopped listening to these guys since Axe called me out. So...it's basically like this for me:

 

[JenniferLynn]

LOVE THIS!!!! Love it so much I want to buy it right now. Thanks for posting this. Amazing, amazing stuff... Still trying to figure out just how many strings are on that guitar!!!

 

[Mardoch]

Pretty sure it's 8.

 

[IanRockett]

Thanks Jennifer for linking us to this page, thanks so much for the awesome feedback guys, so glad you like the new track, hope you'll dig the album! It is an 8-string indeed We had an awesome time playing ProgPower Europe in 2012, hopefully we might get to play the USA one some day!

Cheers,

Ian (Shattered Skies)
