ATTENTION!Pure masterpiece of technical metal!This is an album for eternity,a milestone in extremelly technical music!An absolute musical pearl and in 2010,10 years after it's release,this album is more actual than ever!It is as important as WATCHTOWER'S-CONTROL AND RESISTANCE in terms of technicity and virtuosity and I wonder if SPIRAL ARCHITECT isn't even more technical than the American's album!SPIRAL ARCHITECT from Norway have pushed really to extreme the technical boundaries and definitelly this album meansvery much for all young musicians who want to start playing or seriously learning an instrument!What makes the difference with other extremely technical bands like PESTILENCE,DEATH,ATHEIST, CYNIC...are the vocals-sensational too,comparable with BUDDY LACKEY' s style.What we have here is power technical metal with massive guitar riffs and twisted solos ,amazing technically drum stuff ,a scarry bass player indeed and a very skilled vocalist -overall a band of 5 aces,monster technicians and a fruit of their talent-put on an album that epitomizes what was made in technical metal music until 2000!A difficult audition,but in the end the satisfaction to discover a band with strong personality which is delivering amazing technical metal at an atomic level!It's technical progressive trash undoubtedly and I strongly belief thet SPIRAL ARCHITECT will never do again a second album ,because all the members are involved in their own actual projects.A SCEPTIC'S UNIVERSE was only the chance to assembly 5 fabulous musicians together in a magical formula and it's like one moment in time musical happening! S STARS for a monster album in technical prog power trash metal!
