Prog Metal

2021-06-21 19:42:02 Search Party by Interloper is a fantastic portrayal of modern prog – pristinely executed, catchy, and wholly addictive.
- 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒔 𝑵𝒐𝒊𝒔𝒆

Precise, balanced, powerful and, above else, heavy; that is how Search Party sounds. It’s technically proficient without being pretentious, it’s melodic without lacking bite, it’s concise yet not half-baked and crucially it retains the replay value it deserves.

- 𝑴𝒚 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒈

Described as ‘Ethereal Djent’, these guys take influences from progressive tech-metal and fuse them with ambient soundscapes led by elegant vocals to weave a sonic tapestry that seems to carry itself through a complex wave of easy listening.

2021-06-15 19:42:02 A magical and transcendental aural experience.
- 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆

Har takes a core of black metal, but then adds Romanian-inspired folk, cinematic soundtrack music, Gothic, electronic, and progressive rock to create something even greater than the sum of its numerous parts. It's a genuinely original body of work that is an absolute delight to listen to. 
- 𝑴𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝑴𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒍

Har is just a stunning work of art. It really feels like you’re watching a movie with how the songwriting ebbs and flows in intensity. Be it the atmosphere, the riffs, or the proggy parts, it’s all super captivating. This is the best album I’ve reviewed all year.
