SINGULARITIES

SYNAPSE is a young Parisian progressive metal band founded in 2016, related to the master DREAM THEATER but not only: rock, progressive variations and a jazzy touch, a melodic musical tornado filled with inventive instrumental passages and a current sound for a ambitious project. Texts on the end of our world, on our potential reaction, on our determination to prefer chaos rather than adaptation, his 2nd album currently. SYNAPSE is composed of Thomas VALENTIN on vocals, Alexandre SACLEUX on guitar, Sacha LE ROY on bass and Carlos BARDONNET on drums.

9 tracks that can be listened to while thinking of DREAM THEATER for the instrumentation, heaviness and musical rhythmicity; the screaming voice can be disturbing at first but it adapts well to musical wanderings hard FM at one time, AOR at others, a trait of ROYAL HUNT for sequence and creativity; innovative jazz-prog breaks, latinos, bossa nova, djent on a title that clearly shows the very current sound, a few notes from LEPROUS on "It's Only Cries" with a break à la SERRA, solos that can recall MALMSTEEN at times, the nursery rhyme " Human Naiveté" to end up like a film soundtrack, a pleasant summary of fact.

SYNAPSE has released an album to listen to! An album that hides nuggets, which improves over time, an album that is not content to be an ersatz, we have new sound. The downside would be the voice a little high compared to the interpretation of the varied and fresh melodic structures, otherwise it is a group to follow because it fits into today's sound, giving momentum to prog.
