Band: Silent Lapse

These Michigan guys play a sort of laid back Atmospheric/Melodic Prog Metal, which suits their lyrics perfectly. The heavier/faster more technical moments flow in & out of the music seamlessly, with no pretentiousness or unnecesary wankery to be found.

This down to earth approach is also reflected on their website, where you can download the whole album for free and make a donation if you like it enough or if you want to get a physical copy.
