The Only Way To Reach The Surface

TheEliteExtremophile The Only Way To Reach The Surface is another addition to the recent string of fantastic prog releases from France in recent years. Blending a punk-derived genre into something this proggy and ambitious is quite a feat, and all the elements here work hand-in-hand.

Great album! Can’t set a favourite track because it’s first and foremost the totality of the album that makes it so hefty. jkaronen

BRUIT fait partie de ces groupes qui se découvrent surtout en live. Une claque de tous les instants, à chaque mesure. Du son des cordes magnifiques à la guitare qui nous enrobe, le voyage est exceptionnel et en vaut la chandelle. Merci encore 🙏 kevinoudard
