Proletarian for Progressive Metal

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Proletarian came into fruition as the result of sole creative member James Gale’s writing, starting in late 2018 in UK. The project began to quickly develop as James started to write more tracks that stylistically and thematically felt made sense and had a specific coherent sound of a mix of influences. While recording the majority of the album at home, the drum tracks were completed in May 2019 at Summerhouse Studios in Ealing, London with Ross Collins performing the parts. Everything else was recorded by James; guitars, basses, vocals, electronics and keyboards.Will appeal to fans of Traditional Progressive Metal

The album is a conceptual story, and very much influenced by dystopian novels such as Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World by the British authors George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. We get put straight into a brutal and unforgiving landscape of a post-apocalyptic world, where there is a force of resistance against the totalitarian regime who controls society. After the resistance finally overcomes the current regime they are puzzled in which direction to take their new found freedom. With promises for a better, fairer world and the persecution of people to end, they become caught up in ensuring that anarchy isn't the result of the new society and start to control the people once again. The resistance thus turns into a very similar guise of the previous controlling powers validating the paradox of a catch-22 where social order is a delicate balance in democracy.

	Based on this EP, I think it might fit in Heavy Prog better. There are elements of metal, for sure, but it seems be about 40% metal, 60% heavy and other. I'll try it in the Heavy team who will either accept it or pass it on quickly.
