Review: Milk Room – Controluce
Milk Room is a Canadian progressive metal band with tinges of math rock in it. Their latest release, the Controluce EP, is made up of six songs flowing into each other, creating the feeling of them being part of a greater thing, some sort of long concept song divided in multiple movements.The music is somewhat reminiscent of Protest The Hero and The Venus De Melos, the album of which we reviewed not so long ago here.
