20. Teramaze – I Wonder

Genre: Progressive Metal
Put On A Playlist With: Threshold, Queensryche, Karnivool, The Butterfly Effect

Hook-laden proggy metal from Australia that’s performed, produced and sung by one guy for the most part – Dean Wells, a very talented bloke. His guitar work and vocals are clear winners even in a genre that’s so inundated with good players and singers that doesn’t play outside the lines all that much these days. But who cares if he doesn’t reinvent the wheel – the glorious ‘Sleeping Man’ is so catchy that it justifies the whole album’s existence right there. And that’s a lot coming from me considering how good this entire record is, especially the 8-minute melodeath tinged epic ‘A Deep State Of Awake’ and the Covid-19 themed ‘This Is Not A Drill’.



Superb Ant! Another great find. Big Threshold fan as you know and yes, this is very much in their wheelhouse. Glad to see they have a few albums. Downloading now. Thanks for the rec! Let me pass a similar Threshold-like one on to you if you're not familiar with them.
