Calyces – Impulse To Soar (LP)

“Impulse to Soar” blends prog metal in the way it was shaped through the 00’s, with the finest elements of classic progressive rock from the 70’s, bridging the most important areas of the thinking man’s music. In their running time these 10 tracks feature sweeping low tuning heavy riffs with a barrage of polyrhythmic parties, alternated with atmospheric passages emphasising on groove, melody and energy through the lens of an accurate songwriting.

It is a record that will add up to the collections of all supporters of modern age Mastodon, Alice In Chains, Intronaut, King Crimson, Baroness, Tool, The Mars Volta etc.

Additional flair and artistry was provided to the album with the participation of Jørgen Munkeby (Shining) with a saxophone solo on “Unfair Labour” and of Chrysa Tsaltampasi (Spineless, Bella Fuzz) with vocals on “Beyond Sight”. Mastered by Grammy award-winning engineer, Alan Douches (Mastodon, Kvelertak, The Dillinger Escape Plan etc.) and recorded in various studios around Athens with carefully selected collaborators in order to achieve the natural, organic sound that would highlight the material’s human substance, intertwined with the artistic complexity.
