Suspyre - A Great Divide (2007)
Artist: Suspyre
Album: A Great Divide
Year: 2007
Country: United States
Style: Progressive Metal, Jazz/Classical Fusion, Experimental
[DarkEternal's Review]: Suspyre are an incredible progressive outfit hailing from New Jersey, USA. Releasing A Great Divide on the relatively obscure Nightmare Records, they are largely unheard of even in the metal community. However, A Great Divide is simply too amazing to be ignored. Albums such as these truly accentuate the "progressive" aspect of progressive metal; Suspyre have created a masterpiece that combines technical and complex progressive metal guitar work and song structure with jazz and neo-classical music. Every track is absolutely brilliant as the ears of the listener are caressed by the very essence of progressive music. Suspyre have easily risen above the majority of their modern-day progressive metal counterparts with this release by remembering that there is no definite pattern that must be followed to create incredible progressive music; the result is a truly unique, interesting, and refreshing album that freely shatters barriers that often limit the quality of a musician's work. Heavy riffing coexists with melodies guitar passages, jazz is freely entwined with classical and folk influence, and Clay Barton's refined, tenor-tinged vocals preside over this contrasting musical harmony. Every single member of the band is extremely talented, with some being proficient in several different instruments, ranging from guitar to the saxophone to the Chapman stick. Through it all, the album is still very accessible and is not one that any progressive metal fan would want to miss.
