FRACTAL CYPHER – The Human Paradox

Fractal Cypher is a new band formed in 2014 out of Montreal, Canada, and The Human Paradox is their debut release. As a definitive Progressive Metal band, perhaps a quote from the band’s CD booklet is appropriate: “Words are only letters on paper without someone to read them, and music only sounds without someone’s soul to make it travel.” Impressively cerebral, which is exactly what you get with this album. It’s written well and performed precisely. The lyrics are insightful and reflective, and the music at times can indeed be soul touching. Progressive Metal fans won’t go wrong with this one!
