Mendel - Subliminal Colors

Had to remove this from my list since it was added to MS, but here's the mini-review I wrote:

While listening to this record, I wondered on several occasions whether my mp3 player had betrayed me and decided to shuffle every song it had instead. The sole musician manages to seamlessly pull-off an impressive array of styles including (groove) thrash, djent, prog rock/metal (both the modern and traditional counterparts), death, and heavy... Somehow, what I took away from the record was remarkably cohesive. Instrumental prog without excessive wank and real riffs? Count me in!
Quick note to everyone: this guy is Aborted's guitarist...

This is awesome, I agree.

Another very pleasant surprise, an all killer no filler album, ending with an instrumental 25 minutes epic . And the epic is great, has a nice flow. The entire album does. A must listen if you ask me, not only from progressive metal fans.
