Trillion Red are a band from San Francisco, California that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style that I would describe as being Dark Progressive Avant Garde Metal and this is a review of their 2012 album "Metaphere" which was released by badGod Music.
Drums range from slow to mid paced drumming with not much in the way of fast playing or blast beats, while t he synths and sound effects bring a very atmospheric, dark ambient and experimental avant garde noise sound to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced avant garde metal riffs that are heavily influenced by noise and experimental music along with some soft and clean playing that gives the music a progressive feeling, while the lead guitars are very distorted and psychedelic sounding guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars when they are utilized they use finger picking and full chords to add another dimension of darkness to the music.
Vocals a re mostly clean signing and spoken word parts with not much in the way of the more aggressive sounding vocals that where present on their previous release, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great recording from Trillion Red and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Trichoroic Part I : In Ever Loving Shadows" "Trichoriac Part III : Ephemeral Light" "Parables And Levitation" and "Dawn State". RECOMMENDED BUY.
