Upon what can I cast the blame for being late a day yet again? Well, since all of the usual suspects have pretty much been tapped out already this weekend, I'll be cryptic and say only that I've been working on a little something for you that should (hopefully) appear towards the end of this week.
Anyways, now for a Sunday song. This time out it's going to be a little bit of tasty melo-death courtesy of Baltimore's Rest Among Ruins, who've recently released a playthrough video for "Sign to Surrender" from their upcoming debut LP Fugue. If the rhythm guitarist in said playthrough looks a tad familiar, that's understandable, as Mike Semesky did vocalist duties for Intervals on the first full-length A Voice Within and the subsequent tour cycle.
Presumably part of Mike's decision to part ways with Intervals with his role in Rise Among Ruins, a melodic death metal band with djent frosting and vaguely symphonic sprinkles. Have a listen to "Sign to Surrender" if that sounds like something you'd like a taste of.

Intervals - Ephemeral
Today's song of the day is going to hit two pigs with one bird, in the sense that it's both a New Music Monday kinda song and something I've been looking forward to for a while now. The title of today's post may have given things away, but just in case, allow me to spell it out for you: Canadian (formerly) instrumental badasses Intervals have just released the first song from their upcoming debut LP.
What does he mean by "formerly", I hear you asking. Well, for two EPs now Toronto's Intervals have been cranking out proggy, djenty instrumental tunage, but today's song release also came with the announcement that their forthcoming album features bassist Mike Semesky handling vocal duties as well as locking down the low end.
Is Intervals better off with a vocalist than they were without? Why don't you be the judge. Turn your shit up loud and then have a listen to "Ephemeral" from the upcoming A Voice Within. I was on the fence about the introduction of vocals to such a rad instrumental band at first, but it's growing on me with every play. Some pretty sweet leads aren't hurting anything either.
