ZIERLER – ESC

Zierler is a new “supergroup” headed up by keyboardist extraordinaire Finn Zierler from Beyond Twilight acclaim, and ESC is the band’s first offering. Those familiar with Zierler will know he is a Progressive Metal artist who prefers the dark and doomy side of the genre … which is a rather unusual trait considering Progressive Metal tends to focus on existential ponderings and the inner sanctum of mankind.

With Kelly Sundown Carpenter’s dramatic schizophrenic vocal style fitting in well with Zierler’s songwriting approach, you’ll find plenty to keep your interest when listening to ESC.  Not for everyone, but worth checking out.
