Giant Sleeper - Hyperliminal (2024)

 

The debut album from this band from Costa Rica.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

It is pretty rare to review albums from Costa Rica, this country in the Middle-America on this narrow stripe of land between North and South America. 

This country produces some wonderful coffee though and I have a bag of it at least once a year. Great coffee. Great taste. 

This band has released one EP and numerous singles through their Bandcamp page. That is where I found this album, an album released in August last year.

The music on this three quarters of an hour long album is technical progressive metal.

The music is ultra-technical throughout. The vocals breaks up these excesses with some melodic pieces. But most of the music comes at you in a neck breaking speed.

Most of the album is pretty good and this is an acceptable debut album. Some of the music here is decent too and falls a bit short. Nevertheless, this is an album well worth checking out.

2.5 points
