Pomegranate Tiger - Not to See the Sun

     To coincide with the brand spankin' new Twenty Questions interview with Matt and Martin from Pomegranate Tiger I posted earlier, this evening I'm recommending you have a listen to a track from the band's debut LP Entities.

     "Not to See the Sun" is a mid-album monster, showing off both PT's ability to turn a riff on a dime as well as Martin's ability to shred out great lead work like it's going out of style. It also serves as a bit of a transition between the more isolated, disjointed elements of the first half of Entities and the three-part "Ocean" suite that dominates the album's second half.

     Like I said at the end of the Twenty Questions piece, if instrumental, progressive, and technically proficient metal is your cup of tea, you should order a whole pot of Pomegranate Tiger. Fans of bands like Animals as Leaders, Scale the Summit, and Between the Buried and Me will have little reason to be disappointed.
