Hippotraktor's debut album is an intriguing blend of sounds from influences like Mastodon, Gojira, Meshuggah and many more. However, some tracks I feel can be cut down a bit and leave an even better impact than if they were kept to their original lengths which draw-out nearly the same idea over the span of five or more minutes.
FAVORITE TRACKS: Manifest the Mountain, Juncture, A Final Animation
LEAST FAVORITE TRACK: Beacons
Hippotraktor - Meridian
Genre: Progressive Metal
Country: Belgium
Final Verdict: 57% (Pleasant Album)
Yearly Ranking: 581th / 865
Highlight: A Final Animation
Made me think of:
Vola
Humanity's Last Breath
Gojira
If you even like some semblance of Gojira, Mastodon, or Meshuggah, this is the album you need to put on now. Probably one of the best things to come out this year.
