Tungsten: The reservoir

“Prog that shit!!”
This is Tungsten’s debut and it is a self financed release. You know that Global Domination works with the rule that everything that is sent to us gets reviewed, right? Well, that is good in a way, but also bad sometimes. If it is a really crappy album, you can make up some fun shit, or if it is really good the review kinda writes itself. This is neither.
Tungsten plays a kind of half-progressive metal/hard rock with a large dose of classic metal tapped from the veins of early prog bands. There is nothing going on here in either direction. Good, proper hard rock with some twists that makes it a little bit more interesting than inspecting your navel for lint…well, not really when I think about it. There is nothing wrong with anything here, except that it is totally uninteresting and fail to grab me or even pinch me. I don’t even feel like being mean or even nice, this album is like when my medicine is working. Everything is normal and I feel indifferent.
You better take a look for yourself.
4/10 Oh, so you have released an album you say? How (un)interesting.
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
