CONQUER THE WORLD PT. 5

21 Eyes of Ruby

Experimental/Post Metal

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This looks to be the last full album from this band, but of course you never can tell. Bands have been known to have more than a 7-year hiatus between releases. Well, I'd say if you're going to get any of their releases, this should be it! They sound a bit different here, perhaps mellowed a bit, not so angry. I hear more influences too, not just Drop D Tool-like stuff. I wonder if Boy In The Attic was inspired by Slint - it sounds that way to me! And I'd say that's a good thing.

There is even nylon string guitar and piano on one track - Anthem for a Butterfly. The dynamic variety helps to make this a bit more proggy than the previous metal assaults, which might be what you're looking for - in which case part 4 might be your best bet. This one still sounds like it was made by a metal band, but one showing some more restraint and artistic tendencies than previously. You still get plenty of the heavy stuff too, don't worry.
