Art of Chaos 7-track, "Lucid" CD, is heavy metal/rock/thrash with upper atmosphere vocals and live well produced energetic instrumentation. The opening track, "Chaos Factor", has a Mettallica meets Rush musical feeling along with the hard tenor of vocalist, Brian Torres. Torres' voice is completely original - his approach is passionate and angry - and timbre is a young higher register than normally associated with this genre. We've got here heavy metal - near thrash - with ball battering rhythms - bass, drums, guitar - and the cherubic voice of a pissed off boy in front. .compelling stuff. Track 3, "Alright", begins with a trembling emotional vocal and moves into thrash - cool. Track 5, "Control the Blue" and track 7, "Second Coming", are our two favorites on the CD. Both tunes explore the musical space aggressively. "Control the Blue" - has a chugging scalar thing going on in the guitars as the vocals whisper and suffer to 'control the blue'. . In "Second Coming" the dynamics and movement of the arrangement enters a world of zealot chanting thrash - but with a melodic anarchist tinge. .cool.
