Today, Icelandic prog-hard rockers RING OF GYGES release their second full-length album entitled, ‘Metamorphosis’, via ViciSolum Productions. With intriguing and odd rhythmic patterns, the band sets a fresh set of eyes on the 70s version of prog rock with an ability to transfer this to the modern age prog metal, RING OF GYGES is a combination of several worlds of music in their approach towards prog perfection and although heavily inspired by the progressive rock bands of the 70s, their sound is much more metal-oriented, drawing influences from progressive bands of the modern age, like Leprous, Haken and the like. The band strives to create epic and grandiose music with unconventional song structures and vast soundscapes, often accompanied by philosophical lyrics. |
