Thank You Scientist – Maps of Non-Existent Places

This New Jersey based prog band really pushes the progressive genre with their album “Maps of Non-Existent Places.” Their use of orchestral instruments such as Violins, Horns, Trumpets, and Saxophones really adds a unique dimension to their songs.

Their blend of genres is also very impressive, as elements of funk, fusion, and even middle eastern can be heard throughout this album.

If you enjoy bands like Coheed and Cambria and The Mars Volta then I highly recommend you check these guys out.

Manhattan-DIY – ∞ – 15 = ∞

Apr2, 2013 by Dæv Tremblay

French dudes Manhattan-DIY came to us earlier this year with an awesome math-rock album with 8-bit and experimental elements.

Their album consist of 6 songs screamed in French, with some exceptions to this rule. Sometimes with nintendo destruction sounds, other times with dirty guitars and a real band. Contemplative parts follow more driving ones, and some others more chaotic to deliver a perfect blend of mathtendocore with emotion.

The ca. 40 minutes album infinity minus fifteen equals infinity is an acquisition you all ought to make.

Go do this on their bandcamp page.
