This is the debut album from Canadian modern progressive metal band Technical Damage.
This is modern metal that enjoys incorporating a few different styles and genres into itself. The core of the band falls somewhere between technical metal, djent, hardcore/metalcore, and modern death metal. This forms the bedrock of the band’s material, with progressive and post-metal aspects existing alongside some more diverse elements borrowed from non-metal styles that show up here and there in the songs.
The music ranges from the furious to the tranquil, using heaviness as a weapon while also remembering that peace is also a thing. The retrospective, calmer moments are presented as naturally-occurring facets of the music, and the band operate in a few different arenas at the same time, although the biggest one is the more modern, shiny metallic variety.
The multiple parts of the band’s collective personalities are merged together well across the 35 minutes of material here, and overall this is an enjoyable release for anyone that likes a mixture of bands such as Neck of the Woods, Misery Signals, Carnifex, Beyond Creation, and Lamb of God.
