WAKE PIG

Three is a true prog band with a very fresh sound. These guys manage to combine different and heterogenous elements. Led by the lead vocalist and guitarist Joey Eppard, Three were famous in the underground scene. Eppard has mentioned that their main influences are Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Mahavishnu Orchestra. Apart from these the metal and emo influences are quite clear in the music of Three. "Wake Pig" is a very good album. The level of songwriting is high and the playing technique is quite demanding. This would appeal to prog metal fans. The "siren-like" vocals and the combination of spanish flamenco style and slap bass techniques on the guitar by Eppard are the band's identity which later made them famous (they toured with Porcupine Tree in the US after the release of "The End Is Begun"). Favourite tracks: "Alien Angel", "Bramfatura", "Queen", "Amazedisgrace".
