![]() ![]() He even tolerated Leo’s slight fanboy gush about how he fell in love with the Rapid Eye Movement album under unusual circumstances. A relaxed Mariusz exuded enthusiasm and passion for his project, and was charming and warm in his conversation. From his home in Warsaw, Mariusz recently spoke with TPA’s Leo Trimming about the significant change in direction with this album, and about aspects of his work with Riverside. This is a solid effort by a talented band.Riverside main man, Mariusz Duda has just released his latest Lunatic Soul album Through Shaded Woods. Stylewise, they fit nicely with bands like Toundra and Long Distance Calling. I do think they work well as one piece of work as well. If you like riff laden progressive metal, I think you’ll enjoy each part of “Dimensiones: Tiempo y Espacio.” While they aren’t VASTLY different from each other, there’s enough to make each have their own identity. Anothing plus is the artwork which is beautiful. I know that an indie band like Metalurgia can’t always afford top of the line production and mixing, so I think taking that into account, the music sounds pretty good overall. I also like the stuttering riff of “Asteriodes” but the blast beats (while technically impressive) almost drown out what’s going on. Want some more riffs? “Espejos” is more proof that Metalurgia can really play. “Mega Cluster” is another good driving track while “Stephen Hawking” has a cool jagged riff on it. ![]() ![]() I love the riff on “Agujero Negro” as well. The title track of “Tiempo” starts things off well and reminds me of Satriani when he is a bit more focused on melody than cutting loose on solos. “Tiempo” has a little more atmosphere while “Espacio” is like a punch in the face. The benefit of separating the songs allows the band to focus on slightly different styles. ![]() One would assume being a prog metal band that that would be the case but while it can be a lot of notes, I wouldn’t call it a shredfest either.Įach part is between 33-35 minutes and that’s why I would call it more of a double EP than a double album. It comes in two parts “Dimensiones: Tiempo” and Dimensiones: Espacio.” For those who can’t get the translation in English, that’s Dimensions: Time and Space.” First off, there is no doubt that Metalurgia can PLAY. This album can be viewed as a double EP or a single album. Metalurgia are an instrumental prog metal band from the Dominican Republic. ![]()
