Humanoid

Humanoid is presented in the review as a Canadian instrumental progressive-metal quartet formed in Montreal and led by guitarist Mathieu Marcotte. Their first full-length, Remembering Universe, is a collection of eleven instrumental tracks that mix progressive structures with ambient passages.

Line-up (as reported in the review): Mathieu Marcotte – electric, 12-string acoustic and classical guitars; Domenic Forest Lapointe – fretless bass; KaotH – 9-string bass; Tommy McKinnon – drums. The debut full-length (Remembering Universe) consists of 11 instrumental tracks and emphasizes strong musicianship and clear production; compositions are intricate and sometimes challenging to assimilate.

Emanuele's review praises Humanoid's debut full-length for its high-level musicianship and clear production. The album is fully instrumental, blending progressive metal and ambient influences. Songs are intricate and sometimes hard to assimilate. Overall a strong, recognizable effort with excellent performances.

For:Fans of instrumental progressive metal, ambient-influenced prog, and technically proficient musicianship.
