SERDCE - "Timelessness" [Full Album - Official] 2014

Serdce - “Omens”

Serdce | Samadhi | Timelessness 

11. SERDCE - Timelessness: At the time I wrote my ultimately lukewarm review of Cynic’s latest album earlier this year, I really wish I could have already had SERDCE’s Timelessness in my possession so I could basically just point and yell “THIS. THIS IS HOW YOU DO THE PROG THING.” It’s the perfect mixture of off-the-wall composition, jazzy technicality, beautiful clean bass tones and vocals, and heavy calamity. There isn’t a dull moment in the 65 minutes that occupy the album, whether it’s a serene piano passage, Between The Buried And Me-like technical and genre acrobatics, emotion-laden vocal melodies, or sax-filled proggy jazz riffs. For those who feel that the Cynic-like progressive metal ball has been dropped, look no further than the work of bands like SERDCE who have picked up the ball and have run it in entirely new and awesome directions.
