Synaptik ‎– The Mechanisms of Consequence. 2014 England

Wow. Talk about never say die! This is the 3rd iteration of the Inner Sanctum/Fifth Season technical metal genealogy and comes 17 years after their last studio album. What we have here is basically what would constitute the 3rd Watchtower album (Alan Tecchio even guests on vocals!) but with those irresistible blazing Mekong Delta riffs propelling it all forward in an exciting way. This is technical thrash at its best. Melodic vocals, crushing riffs, mathematical impossibilities. Yee-haw!
