For the longest time I neglected this entire album in favor of Soen's newer songs. Over this past summer, I corrected that mistake. From start to finish, Tellurian is just incredible.
Personnaly I care about the fact Soen grooves like Meshuggah :D (nah, i didn't even talked about Tool..aw shi' here we go again) With a pure hint of best drummer Opeth knew in my opinion (and I freakin admire Axenrot aka Legolas tho) It make this band perfect in it own way, that's what matter
No, the fact that ppl keep bitching means that the band is in reality stealing in a lazy way their influences. How easily can you tell what influenced Tool or Katatonia or Anathema? Really hard to trace their influences because they actually made something creative. Of course you could argue that they all stole from 70s prog, but their sound was actually very refreshing and metal influenced. These genres have sadly reached their peak years ago and now its a downfall of mediocre bands. Check my band if you want a to hear a second chance for rock, it’s called Thus Unspoken.
Well theyre on tour now! IDK where you are but htey are touring across Canada and the US in November- maybe some other places also. Just thought you should know
Unique band, simple as that. One of my favorite bands since Congnitive, but Tellurian is just perfect, the sound they were looking for. They gave Prog Metal a new air.
Ricardo Aguilera I've listened to Tool in the last years, they are genious, but they are dead. Cognitive has a lot of Tool influence, but Tellurian is more original.
***** Do you know any band like Tool/Soen? Please tell me! I listen a lot prog metal/rock but i haven't found bands with this sound. I don't know, maybe Leprous?
Found it by chance, and now I can't turn it off, I was paralyzed, bomb bomb bomb !!! I listened to all the albums and was delighted with everyone!!! This bomb blew my brain!!!
18 days left to watch them live again! Why is it taking so long?! Last time I saw them was just around a hundred people and it was one of the best live performances I ever seen. I felt like a privileged guy!
Musicians of tool play in many different bands, Tool is like a project to them but hey, they dont rush in time so they can polish notes to make their music perfect
After the first listen, I was worried that this was one of those cases where this is the only song that captures this specific sound like change with deftones. Thank God.
I hear a lot of similarities to Tesseract's "Altered State" sound throughout the whole song - not even getting close to the their genius though. Don't know the rest of "Tellurian" that much yet, but would have appreciated a more distinct style. I do have to say that I like the sound of Soen's early stuff better than the more recent releases.
Tool is heavily influenced from King Crimson, The Melvin's, Pink Floyd plus others of course. Pink Floyd is not just music, but they are their own genre in my opinion. Same with Tool! So who cares if a great band is influenced by another band. I don't!! Pink Floyd & Tool are my favorite bands and it makes me so happy to hear bands like Soen who actually remind of both my favorite bands plus various artists. It's just great fucking prog music and I dig these guys a great deal now. I really hope they catch a leg tour somewhere in the States soon.
People really don't hear prefer a PC or flaw? There's no doubt about it that the intro sounds like tool. But let's move past that and hear the rest of the song
I just wished the vocals had a little bit more punch.. The part after 2:50 would be so much inspiring if the voice was more passionate... But great band nonetheless...
I dont understand the people who is conviced this band is kind of a "tool tribute band". I can hear Soen playing not Tool. maybe you always got tool in your mind (couse this shit never happend to me(8) :D ). I live in Argentina ,here you always have to pull apart the shit and its exciting to found something good to hear. My point is, Mayner would be disapponted of the people making tool a Dogma, a god, a religion. try to understand Soens point of view. Everyone here like tool because we think like them. why soen should have an other? and you have to know How many GOOD COMMENTS have tool in the first album. Have a nice Day :D. (fuck you if you gonna correct my inglish)
Its so stupid when people compare tool to any prog metal...wake up tons of metal band that played beautiful prog construction are waaay before tool. The only reason tool are known, or that dick weed lead, is because it is an american band...aweful! I truly despise tool and think it is rather stupid that this current generation think they know it all and that tool is the measuring system. My ass.
+Nathaniel Prince Coulter. Oh wow can you be anymore clever? Like i am so insulted. You just proved to me that the more people who listens to tool, are further prawn to stupidity syndrome just like you.
The more you compare them, the more you will expect something. I went into their first album, not even knowing who they were, and just listened. I frankly think that's how most people should listen to a band for the first time.
