Chimp Spanner are damn cool. Chimp Spanner is prog for those that hate prog, djent for those that despise djent (or at least the new wave classification of "djent"). Oh wait, that's pretty much me. Chimp Spanner must be pretty good then. Hailing from the glorious and glitzy land of Essex, Paul Ortiz, the sole proprietor and producer of the instrumental abstraction that is Chimp Spanner, impressed me greatly last year with the 2009 monster that was At The Dream's Edge, and along with French texturists Uneven Structure, demonstrated to me that djent need not be a thoughtless clone of Meshuggah. All Roads Lead Here can only be described as another feather in his cap. It should be noted for those unfamiliar to Chimp Spanner that Ortiz also makes music for video games and while it isn't as obvious here as it was on the previous full-length unless my imagination was running away with me I could have sworn it felt like I was playing Gunstar Heroes at times.

This is pretty jazzy at some points. I didn't like it at first but i'm really starting to love it

Sounds like every other band of this particular style. No desire to listen to this twice...

Funny, because I know no other djent band that sounds like this.

Highly enjoyable but I need some sort of vocals to fully enjoy my metal most of the time and this album is not an excectation.

Absolutely brilliant EP, their best work I daresay. The songs have an irresistable flow to them, quite melodic and loaded with beautiful ambient bits all in the frame of djenty guitars in the background which compliment the music extremely well. Also has an arcade vibe to it à la Sonic Wings or Metal Slug which makes me love it even more !

Written by X-Ray Rod on 19.12.2013 at 23:30 Their previous album is quite varied for the genre, but this particular EP is just sounds like one made by every other bedroom guitarist trying to milk the djent scene.
