Enditol (RIYL Divinity, Into Eternity, Nevermore, Biomechanical, Painted In Exile, Dream Theater, ...)

Check this shit out. It's a sideproject by guitarist Sacha Laskow from Divinity (which some of you may know). I wouldn't call it djent, although I suppose there's some bits here and there that could qualify. I put tons of band names in the topic title as you can see I was reminded of all of these while listening to the album he recently put out.

My favourite track, 'Ayin', starts off like it could be on an Into Eternity album (an older one, you know, before they started to kinda suck ), then slowly evolves to sound a lot like Nevermore. Near the end there's some almost powermetal-esque keyboards and the last riff is pretty djenty.

The entire album is pretty much incredible. The vocals are excellent, imo. Of course there is a strong similarity to Divinity's music throughout, which shouldn't come as a surprise. It's a lot more proggy and experimental though. Maybe not as stylistically diverse as say, Painted In Exile, but just like with their music, everything seems to fit.

One minor flaw that might bother some people is that the drums are sometimes 'unrealistic'. But who cares about that, apart from drummers
