Would you look at this? A Tuesday post that's actually getting posted on Tuesday? Now you've seen everything. It might not quite be a Tech Tuesday, but I'll let you be the ultimate judge of that one.
New Year's Day this year saw a new Veil of Maya song and accompanying lyric video, the first to be released with former vocalist Brandon Butler's replacement Lukas Magyar. "Phoenix" is pretty much par for the Veil of Maya course: percussive and dare I say "djenty" riffing underneath some atmospheric lead lines and stuff. They certainly haven't broken the mold, or reinvented the wheel, or whatever aphorism you want to use, but they have managed to craft another fun headbanging jam.
While I still don't quite see the fanatical devotion Veil of Maya inspires in some of its fans, I do dig "Phoenix" better than some I've liked some of their earlier stuff. Hopefully the new record, whenever it's done, will bring both the funk and the noise.
