#26 - Top of 2014

Need - Orvam (Trailblazer Records)

Moving further down the list of 2014, we meet a progressive metal band from Greece, Need. Need have existed since 2003 and Orvam is their third album. Now, in this review it needs to be said that this band is not for everyone. Classic metallers and proggers may not like this band; in all honesty, I would say they are an acquired taste. Orvam is not an easy listen. It is an album mixing elements of Fate's Warning (of the Ray Alder era) with heavier groove resonant with Mastodon or Metalcore crowds. This is an impressive record that delves into deep and spiritual records while at the same time keeps a lyrical musical tone all throughout. Have a listen to the offering below and if it is to your liking feel free to explore their album some more.

92/100
