SING TO GOD

Not sure how this album ended up on the Progarchives site. But here I am reviewing the double CD release called "Sing to God ". The progressive elements are far and few between. To the contrary, most of the songs are short and agressive, sounding more like the great anti-progressive movement: punk. Short tracks, obnoxious singing, grating production... all I could do is grit my teeth and hope the sonic torture would eventually end. Don't get me wrong, I gave it many a spin on many different occasions, in different moods, waiting for the inner truth and beauty to reveal itself. Alas it remained a snarling gnome. Yes, there are some delightfully unusual chord changes on some of the short-lived instrumental passages. Perhaps these rare instances led people to believe this deserves the progressive moniker. For those wishing to enjoy truly contrarian creative music (the true meaning of progressive) I would recommend listening to bands such as Lost Crowns (with ex-Cardiac member included!), ni and Poil. Or one of the many permutations thereof.
