This genre-defining Progressive metal quartette hailed from Curitiba, Brazil. Okyr was born in 2017 and "Premorbid Intelligence", released on August 25, 2020, is their first album. Okyr's guitarist Tiago Alain and the bassist Jean Elias start composing some themes and riffs while they were the members of a Dream Theater cover band and one can hear clearly the beneficial influence off the Creators of Progressive metal genre. Indeed, a very exciting, pleasant and bracing metal music is on their debut. Edited by Boboulo - August 26 2020 at 09:11 |

two things I disagree in this presentation and since I listened a bit on bandcamp, I'll just say it.
"genre defining"? it's rather predictable, done before a hundred times. Dream Theater created progressive metal?! My eyes hurt I rolled them at this.

I
guess it's not easy to create something strictly within the genre
framework and some people always will say "it's rather predictable". However, the true genre-achievement cannot be denied in this case, as Okyr's debut feature some great moments indeed.

I don't see how this is genre defining or genre-achievement when this sound has been done hundred times before. Are they talented? Yes. Genre defining? I say no. As for DT creating progressive metal, they were influenced by bands like Fates Warning, Quensryche, Crimson Glory, obviously Rush etc. I love the Moore era of DT, those are my favorite DT albums, but they did not create progressive metal.
