Taskaha - Taskaha (2020)

The debut album from this band from Norway.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

This band is a side project of a Gentle Knife member. I do believe it is now a fulltime band.

The music on this seventy minutes long album is a mix of djent, modern progressive metal and heavy prog.

The vocals is really good and there are a lot of good guitar harmonies here. 

You get a lot of value for money here as the music is both melodic, intricate and sometimes pretty heavy. There are even a couple of pieces with death metal vocals here when the band visits the djent genre.

The melodic stuff is pretty haunting and has some good pieces of music.

The overall quality is good. It is still too much of a run of the mill progressive metal album and the band need to improve a lot on their next albums... if they want to continue as a band. This is an acceptable debut album and something to build on.
