NOSPUN
US prog metallers look to the past and future in style.
“WE WANT TO make this a lifestyle,” Nospūn vocalist Phillip Rich says. “We want to spend our time writing music like this, and sharing it with the world. We’d like to go wherever this music is willing to take us.”
Judging by Opus, there’s every chance that Nospūn will end up as globetrotters. Leaning heavily on influences from Dream Theater, Haken and Symphony X, but pushing them one step forward, the US quartet’s conceptual debut will strike a chord with many –and with a massive, polished sound that impressively happens to be self-engineered, combined with some serious chops, it’s quite the feat.
