BEYOND THE EXOSPHERE

Beyond the Exosphere, by the Canadians Pyramid Theorem, is a forceful work, where high-voltage developments are nuanced with short and effective elements of the highest sensitivity and devoid of greater instrumental clothing, but as intense as the most vibrant moments. In the powerful musical proposal that unfolds firmly in its 41 minutes, the influences of one of the prog metal references Dream Theater are recognizable, and the occasional nod to his legendary compatriots Rush.

The progressive spirit is present from the very opening of the album, with the almost 18 minutes of the formidable Beyond the Exosphere, which, in addition to giving the album its name, is a theme of infinite variations, intertwining sharp guitars, incisive keyboards, a very interesting drum solo, and a correct vocal part. Immediately the vigorous Under Control (magnificent introduction) and the desperate Freedom (the bells give it an imposing effect) recall the modernized metal of the eighties, to later give way to the superb and heartbreaking Closer To The End, possessing a force and drama that is increasing until its overwhelming end. It's, in my opinion, the best song on the album. Intonate, a deep display of sensitivity with pianos and acoustic guitars from the second half of the song, closes the album in great shape. Provided with an impeccable production work, Beyond the Exosphere is highly recommended for those who like progressive rock, and especially for those who love its most incendiary side.
