Stagnant Waters – Stagnant Waters
Listen to “Of Salt And Water” right here.
Not much chaotic as it is eclectic, Stagnant Waters will storm through your speakers like untamed and dangerous animals. You might only care for the tigers and rhinos, but if you listen closer you’ll be able to see the peacocks and butterflies of this wonderfully diverse zoo.
Indeed, between harsh, heavy parts, there are some electronic passages and truly undecipherable moments.
When does a song end? Is it when the player has stopped playing it? Or is it when you’ve understood all that was going on in the song? If you … Read more

SoundAsleep – Phéromones
[EDIT: Album released with cover art!!!]
Back in 2009, SoundAsleep gave us a little sample of what they were capable of with Midget Porn and Clockwork Surgery’s proggy goodness (read the review here). I wrote that it showed the great potential of the band.
And now that potential is unleashed with said band’s sophomore album, Phéromones.
One could argue about the French title, and it truly is a more French release than Midget Porn was. 44,4% more, actually.
Indeed, only two of the songs on Phéromones are in Shakespeare’s language, Molière being at ease.
