Product Description
The French trailblazers of cinematic metal, HYPNO5E, return with their third album, 'Shores of the Abstract Line'. This release delves deeper into the philosophical landscapes the band created in their first two albums. Operating in the hazy zone where memory and imagination meet, HYPNO5E's purpose is to lay a foundation for the unknown and the unimagined. Don't be put off by the conceptual depth, as their music is powerful, intense, and impactful right away. At times, it reminds you of BTBAM's expansive technical details, Cynic's thoughtful melancholy, and Amen Ra's raw power. However, HYPNO5E's sound is truly their own. Unlike many bands relying on a single style, HYPNO5E isn't tied to any one approach. Formed in Montpelier, France in 2004 when guitarist and songwriter Emmanuel Jessua joined forces with drummer Thibault Lamy, the band puts on a unique and mesmerizing live show, blending music, movie samples, and emotional visuals. They've refined their skills on international tours with Gojira and The Dillinger Escape Plan. 'Shores of the Abstract Line' is a dreamy yet powerful answer to the deep - seated yearning and sense of displacement within us. Latin influences smoothly mix with riff - driven prog, creating a heady and heavy blend that challenges the norms of progressive music. As Jessua says, the album is 'confident and uncertain, excited and depressed... this contrast is one of the band's trademarks, giving us those ups and downs just like in real life. We play bipolar music'. This record sits right on the edge between madness and genius. It's a challenging but highly rewarding listening experience. Once you immerse yourself in it, you might not want to come out.
To enjoy HYPNO5E's 'Shores of the Abstract Line', simply play it on your preferred music - playing device, like a phone, computer, or stereo. Sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you. Try to focus on the unique blend of sounds and the philosophical ideas behind the songs. When listening, there's no right or wrong way. You can listen all the way through or pick your favorite tracks. There aren't any strict rules, but it's best to listen in a quiet environment to fully appreciate the details. As for maintenance, if you have a physical copy like a CD, keep it in its case to prevent scratches. For digital copies, make sure your storage device is secure and backed up regularly. Enjoy this one - of - a - kind album and let it take you on a musical journey.
