		<description><![CDATA[Taproot&#8216;s insight to distance themselves from the trappings of the nu-metal scene that brought them success early on surely looked brighter all those years ago. The band clearly had all the necessary buzz to follow along a similar career path as say a Chevelle or Linkin Park. As recent years have proven however, that didn&#8217;t happen. Instead, their continued identity crisis seemed at odds with their bids for renewed mainstream success. This time swaying between the accessibility of active rock &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/05/23/reviews/taproot-the-episodes/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

To that end the band have constructed a predictably dystopian tale of an automaton that becomes self-aware. In its course of taking on human traits and self-discovery it comes to turn on humankind. But aside from a few interludes and some key lyrical passages, the story itself isn&#8217;t &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/05/17/reviews/fear-factory-the-industrialist/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It makes perfect sense that Trioscapes came together as a result of a planned Mahavishnu Orchestra cover. The trio, who most famously feature Between The Buried And Me bassist Dan Briggs, are wholly infused with the same penchant for adventurous jazzy introspection. But much like T.R.A.M., this outfit, who are rounded out by drummer Matt Lynch and saxophonist/flutist Walter Fancourt, tether themselves not only to the erratic expressionism of jazz fusion; but a touch of prog rock styled consciousness expansion &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/05/07/reviews/trioscapes-separate-realities/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The prospect of a musical meeting of the minds between Opeth&#8216;s Mikael Åkerfeldt and Porcupine Tree&#8216;s Steven Wilson certainly sounds enticing on paper. But as is often the case, the expectations may be more exciting than the end result. Storm Corrosion is the much-hyped collaboration between the aforementioned pair and while it certainly serves as a vessel for their artistic indulgence; it does little in the way of attempting to appeal to anyone but the players involved.

		<description><![CDATA[Black Breath&#8216;s merciless pairing of high octane thrash and gnarled Entombed-styled death n&#8217; roll takes no prisoners on &#8220;Sentenced To Life&#8220;. But that is merely because the breakneck speed and unyielding aggression are incendiary enough to leave little standing in their wake. As abrasive as the frenzy of this album is though; the increased weight of the songwriting is what sees Black Breath moving further through the metal ranks.

		<description><![CDATA[The Mars Volta&#8216;s past eclectic noodlings and hyperactive genre clash has rarely lent itself to introspection. Often an exhausting gauntlet of chops and indulgent creativity; the group were never one to stick to complimentary colors—instead opting for the whole palette. Recent output however has seen the band pare away their youthful recklessness and place higher emphasis on melody. The adventurous &#8220;Noctourniquet&#8221; is an opus that very much continues down this path. As overall scale is toned down, the band instead &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/04/23/reviews/the-mars-volta-noctourniquet/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Astra&#8216;s &#8220;The Black Chord&#8221; is nothing short of a time capsule. A welcome blast of hashed out progressive psych rock that feels as though it came straight from the early 70&#8242;s. Right from the start the band set about taking the listener on a blissful journey. One full of lush soundscapes, tripped out soloing, flutes, whirring organ-led space trucking and hypnosis-inducing melody. It&#8217;s an adventure that would likely crash and burn if the band weren&#8217;t so instrumentally talented; but the &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/03/29/reviews/astra-the-black-chord/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may have been a gradual slope, but over the years Meshuggah&#8216;s songwriting has moved further away from speed and ferocity. These days the band tend to drape themselves in an engulfing atmosphere of menace. No surprise then that their seventh album &#8220;Koloss&#8221; is an unyielding polyrhythmic cataclysm. But no longer are Meshuggah pure catharsis. The lower tunings and slower tempos are surely crushing, but their cerebral interplay is what makes them indestructible.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no shocker that Primitive Weapons hail from New York. &#8220;The Shadow Gallery&#8221; teems with the AmRep-styled abrasion that the state put on the map in the earlier half of 90&#8242;s. But friction and rawness are merely a means to an end. The true heart of this outfit seemingly thumps with artery clogging sludge and burning animosity (think Neurosis meets Cursed.) A crushingly brutal assault, they heavily favor monstrous riffs and caustic bellows.

Fitting it is then on &#8220;Ex Lives&#8221; that the band quickly establish the persona of the proverbial grizzled drill sergeant of the scene — constantly showing and proving how it&#8217;s done on the back of knowledge and experience, rather than gimmicks and imagery.

		<description><![CDATA[One must not only praise the musicians involved, but also Sumerian Records for releasing what is essentially a pairing of jazz fusion and progressive metal. It takes a lot of balls, not only to play, but to put out an EP as challenging and as instrumentally-inclined as T.R.A.M.&#8216;s &#8220;Lingua Franca&#8221; in this musical climate. Sure progressive metal has made great inroads throughout the years. Animals As Leaders, Between The Buried And Me and their ilk are great examples of that. &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/03/01/reviews/t-r-a-m-lingua-franca/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

A surprisingly jagged and confrontational listen, &#8220;EP †&#8221; was above all else overtly seductive.

But so distinct have the personnel changes in this outfit been, that more often than not fans will cite certain periods of the band — rather than albums, as their favorite. Whether it be the punkish hardcore &#038; thrash amalgam that defined them early in their career; the polished groove metal found on &#8220;Blind&#8220;; or the bluesy Southern-fried Sabbath style that has more or less carried them since. &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/01/30/reviews/corrosion-of-conformity-corrosion-of-conformity/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Taking the majority of 2011 off to decompress and focus on &#8220;Resolution&#8221; has distinctly changed at least one of the core fundamental aspects of Lamb Of God&#8216;s sound. With past releases there always seemed to be a sense of pressure and inner turmoil. A tension wrought by the lack of any solitary isolation thanks to the persistence of confined quarters and perpetual career momentum. This time spent away and its afforded ability to write individually has given the band a &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2012/01/23/reviews/lamb-of-god-resolution/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Korn&#8216;s tenth studio album, &#8220;The Path Of Totality&#8220;, will surely be a divisive listen for many of the bands longtime fans. Essentially a collection of collaborations with various up and coming dubstep artists; it finds the group embracing the aforementioned nascent electronic genre with a youthful eagerness. Still, while the effort has certainly been a love affair for the bands resident electronica head/DJ Jonathan Davis; its integration with the rest of the outfit isn&#8217;t always exactly as heartfelt.

		<description><![CDATA[When an outfit as progressive and experimental as Cynic seeks to further their boundaries; there&#8217;s always that danger of the material winding up being too esoteric. Such is the case with the tribal icaros (healing songs) and such that are interspersed throughout &#8220;Carbon-Based Anatomy&#8220;. While rich with a world music slant and wholly colorful, repeated listens can find them to be a bit tiresome once the initial shock value wears off. It&#8217;s not that the band haven&#8217;t lovingly approached the &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2011/11/18/reviews/cynic-carbon-based-anatomy/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Animals As Leaders are certainly at the vanguard of technical progressive rock these days. Few instrumental bands have made an impact as deep as they have in recent years and there is a good reason for that. For you see it&#8217;s not only the mind boggling display of ability and technical prowess that makes Animals As Leaders such an engaging listen. Rather it is their charming knack for taking heroic moments of instrumental mastery and compressing them into an invitingly &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2011/11/09/reviews/animals-as-leaders-weightless/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in recent memory the men that comprise East Of The Wall have achieved the one thing that has always eluded them. That would of course be stability. With no drastic lineup change or new moniker involved, it would finally seem that they are free to focus on the music itself and it shows. East Of The Wall&#8216;s first effort (&#8220;Ressentiment&#8220;) after absorbing Biclops (aka Day Without Dawn/The Postman Syndrome) was a stiff and needlessly heavier affair &#8230; <a href="http://www.theprp.com/2011/10/20/reviews/east-of-the-wall-the-apologist/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
