The only other project that I'm aware of that involves the drummer from Gospel. That's all I need to be sold. Oh, and the vocalist sounds kind of like Cedric Bixler Zavala .

Ily Vinny xoxo Very early on it felt like I'd owe this a relisten because there is (as you'd expect) a lot going on. The drumming is obviously sick, there's hardcore, atmo interludes, bm passages, and (sadly) most noticeably awful glam metal vocals that feel completely out of place and ruin the music whenever they show up. Thankfully they remain quite scarce otherwise the record would have been unbearable. I can see what they were going for with it but it just doesn't work for me, except maybe on 7. The track starts off on sort of superhero movie OST-type stuff before going back to the band's style progressively, showing along with the 80s synth intro on 1, the atmo interlude on 4, and the really cool apocalyptic ending on 5 (a track otherwise ruined by the vocals) that this record is well constructed, conscious of its own intensity and therefore providing pauses and softer dynamics when needed. The prod on 2 is not so great but it improves, and if you look past the vox you hear some nice gospely vocals but also some of those bmey bits. 3 has a better sound and is nicely atmo. 6 transitions very well from 5 into a fat bmey riff, and is quite dope in spite of the (scarce) vox. 8 has cool riffs too. Idk man for now I'll say 3.6

Try Future is a highly unique and somewhat paradoxical album. While vocalist Germen's nasally, tweaked out Cedric Bixler-lite delivery can be at times grating (and frequently polarizing, I predict), his vocals never fringe too close to plagiarism. This reigns true for much of the album, as Try Future succeeds because of its near seamless blend of influences without actually sounding a lot like any of them. This is post-At the Drive-In played by the Melvins using Krallice's sense of tonality with Gospel's drummer behind the kit. And what a drummer he is. Guile is like Damon Che on steroids; the man is relentless and quite possibly an octopus. The rest of the band are no slouches, either. Try Future is a remarkable success, but what holds it back from being truly special is that its sometimes relentless nature can be a little overbearing, though to it's credit it clocks in at a modest 41 minutes. If you're curious, be sure to check out the pummelling title track and the Krallice-like, tremolo-heavy "Embers", both of which can be found on their official MySpace.
