DIMENSION HATROSS

It's prog thrash metal I would say. There is concept (fascinating sci-fi story of microgalaxy) to this album, there are maverick rhythms and mindblowing riffs. Clean vocals made it easier for the prog crowd to digest it, but they are mean enough to be appreciated by metalheads, who are open enough for all the complexity. The music is dense, fast and adventurous, and in all this somewhat catchy. Besides it bears enough qualities of it's own to be recognised as Voivod and not mistaken for anyone else. It gives enourmous pleasure for a listener. And it's very important in the history of prog metal as it basicly gave birth to the subgenre pushing the boundries further than Metalica's "...And justice for all" and it's probably more developed than "The music of Erich Zann" by Mekong Delta - both released the same year. In it's category (so to fully aprreciate you would have to like metal aesthetic) it's a 5 star prog masterpiece.
