Our Take

Howling Sycamore's self-titled album is a chaotic barrage of sonic mayhem that will leave you scratching your head in both confusion and awe. The brainchild of guitarist Davide Tiso and vocalist Jason McMaster, this bizarre blend of avant-garde metal and progressive rock is a wild ride from start to finish.

From the opening track, "Upended," with its thunderous drums and frenetic guitar riffs, to the closing notes of "Chant of the Desert," the album never lets up in its intensity. McMaster's vocals soar and screech, adding an extra layer of madness to the already chaotic mix of musical styles.

With influences ranging from Meshuggah to King Crimson, Howling Sycamore have crafted a sound that is truly unique in the metal world. Tracks like "Mastering Fire" showcase Tiso's intricate guitar work, while "Departure" takes the listener on a journey through prog-rock landscapes that are equal parts mesmerising and disorientating.

Overall, Howling Sycamore's debut album is a challenging listen that rewards those brave enough to dive into its tumultuous waters. Fans of experimental metal will find plenty to love here, but casual listeners may find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer complexity of it all. Love it or hate it, one thing's for certain – Howling Sycamore is a band that refuses to be ignored.
