Product Description
The French masters of cinematic metal, HYPNO5E, are back 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 at the crossroads of memory and imagination, HYPNO5E's purpose is to lay the groundwork for the unknown and unimagined. Don't be put off by the conceptual depth, as their music is powerful, raw, and immediate. At times, it brings to mind the elaborate technicality of BTBAM, the gentle melancholy of Cynic, and the sheer might of Amen Ra. But ultimately, HYPNO5E's sound is uniquely their own. Unlike many bands relying on a single style or technique, HYPNO5E is not confined by any pre - set rules. Formed in Montpelier, France in 2004 when guitarist and songwriter Emmanuel Jessua joined forces with drummer Thibault Lamy, the band delivers a truly hypnotic 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 response to the deep longings and feelings of displacement within us. Latin influences smoothly meld with riff - driven prog, creating a heady and heavy mix that challenges the norms of progressive music. As Jessua comments, the album is 'confident and uncertain, excited and depressed... this contrast is one of the band's trademarks, giving us those highs and lows, just like in real life. We play bipolar music'. This record sits on the fine line between madness and genius, offering a challenging yet deeply rewarding listening experience. Dive into this album, and you might just get lost in its magic.
To enjoy this Hypno5e CD, simply insert it into your CD player. You can listen to it at home while relaxing, or in your car during a long drive. There aren't any special handling requirements, but it's a good idea to keep it in its case when not in use to prevent scratches. If the CD gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth from the center outwards. This album is meant to be fully immersed in, so take your time and let the music wash over you. Don't be afraid to listen to it multiple times, as you'll likely discover new elements with each play.
