My band recently released it's first full length album and I would really like some input on it :)

It's a mixture from everything from modern hard rock to old school 70's proggrock. Our biggest influences are Tool, Mars Volta, Mastodon, Radiohead, Frank Zappa, Jeff Buckley, Mew, Pink Floyd.

Digging you guys.

The recording and mixing is really well done. There's enough separation to hear the individual instruments while still having a really full and active sounding mix. Furthermore, I dig your songwriting and arrangement style. Kinda reminds me of Baroness only with a better mix and more pop-oriented vocals.

I honestly have no constructive criticism to offer. I would purchase this CD.:)

WOW! Nice work! As mentioned before, the mix and production are really good. Sounds great on my laptop. I only had time to listen to the first track, but I have a feeling I'll be back to listen to the rest... Definitely a TOOL thing going on in the rhythm section.

Thank you for the kind words! :) Really appreciate it

Do anyone here know any good music-sites where we can send the record to get reviews? We're trying to reach outside Sweden at the moment :)

Have a great evening!

Well produced tracks. Cool Stuff! Very interesting transitions and a variety of musical styles intertwined, sometimes within the same song. Not commercial dance material but more thinking man type of tunes (ala Rush, Saga, Dream Theater, etc.) and not super heavy, which I think will give you a wider appeal with progressive fans. Plus, I noticed the English language vocals, which will help reach a U.S. audience.

You can check CD Baby. Some of my friends have their original music available on there. Here is a link to the CD Baby website.

GOOD LUCK with this and keep up the great work!

You can find the whole album on Itunes; [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

And also on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Mask-of-Air/dp/B005ZBVVHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323371781&sr=8-1

However, if you want the actual CD, maybe we can arrange something, so just send me a PM. We are always glad to find new listeners, especially abroad, and as I said really trying to find music-zines in the U.S who might want to write an review of the album :)

Cheers!

Like everyone has said before, production is great. Digging the vocals, although very effect heavy, I think the effects are enhancing rather than detracting. On "Chimera" the one track is a little hard to understand, but it fits with the song. As far a progressive music goes, this is some neat stuff. Love the guitar tones too. I'm sure you guys kill at a live show.

Sounds great in general, love the prog times. The beginning of the first song reminds me of Mastodon but less abrasive and with Toolier bass instead of that dude's super blended in tone. I'd lean towards slightly more aggressive guitar tone (upper mids, reduced lower mids, more gain or a less creamy gain), your bass is a tiny bit in front of it. They should be a little more even IMO. Compositions are great.

You mean the chorus-part? We'll don't worry. None of us understand it, since it's an arabic women who appears as a guestsinger ;)
