Album Notes

\"Coriolis debuts with a fresh take on Industrial that creator Jonathan Stamets calls \"synth-metal.\"

Although both the vocals and guitar riffs resemble those of Metallica, the occasional use of symphonic programming and pennywhistles creates a more progressive vibe, making this more than just another paint-by-numbers industrial-metal album.

Stamets fuses these elements with state-of-the-art synths to create a groundbreaking sound. He has crafted ten excellent tracks, avoiding much of the excessive repetition common to some industrial music.

The poetically picturesque lyrics show a depth and maturity seldom heard on debuts, indicating the influence of artists like Queensryche or Dream Theater. Both the synths and vocal processing ground the music securely in the electronic genre without becoming overbearing, making the album accessible to a much wider audience. This is one of the best CDs so far this year!

Fans of Celldweller, Rammstein, Zeromancer, Autumn\'s Descent and Massivivid will love it!\"
