‘Regressor’ is atmospheric and creates this fuzzy dreamlike feeling that you can’t help but get lost in. But it is also gargantuan in sound, easily toppling expectations as each giant foot sends tremors outwards making a meteoric impact.

Dan Miraldi soundtracks the apocalypse with a hotfooted little bass riff that invites your feet to the dancefloor from the opening second. This is a track born out of those lockdown blues but the clever songwriting and lyricism give it live and legs far beyond that.

The guitar growls with a prowling ferocity that is as sure footed as it is deadly precise. From the first strum you can tell this is an ancient and practised predator.

It’s not often you get a track that does exactly what it say’s on the tin, but this is it. We have all been going a little cuckoo trapped in lockdown and clearly Filip Dahl has spent that time just wailing seven shades of sunshine out of his guitar strings.

The track begins in the sci-fi noir synth sound of a bar in the Blade Runner universe. It isn’t long before the hardcore cyber punk element comes crashing through the door of the club and making a ruckus with aggressive riffs and serious prog power. This is a band that make cosmic horror seem like a daydream, it’s beautiful, it’s out of this world, and you can’t help but nod your head in trancelike obedience.

The song begins with a ghostly choir before it’s joined by the fae jingling bell of guitar and the sharp crisp clip of the drums. Throughout the song there is the continuation of this siren-like pitched wailing vocal chorus. The track has an ethereal and dreamlike quality that resonates at a primordial level that gets the listeners hair to stand on edge. It’s exciting, atmospheric, and a little bit magical.
