The "other guy" (guitarist) is Pierre Danel. He's in a band called Kadinja and the guitar work from both him and Quentin Godet (a guitarist also in Ten56) is on a whole other level. Massively underrated band and highly encourage anyone reading this to check them out. Songs I'd recommend are "GLHF" for the more technical and "Til the Ground Disappears" for the absolutely insane. Other great tracks: "From The Inside", "The Modern Rage", "Empire"

I'm really digging their change in direction, with its blues influences and overall amped up energy. I do feel these new tracks still struggle with their sometimes awkward transitions. The breakdown into chorus in "Lost Cause", the verse into pre-chorus (albeit a really cool pre-chorus) in "Do you really want to know", and the first solo into chorus in this track. I think "Terrorist" avoids this issue, and is probably my favorite of their new releases. Still very excited for the future of this band.

Found out about Novelists back in 2016-2017 w/ “Immedicable” and was instantly hooked. Mattéo Gelsomino has since been one of my favorites vocalists of the genre. I was def. surprised and unsatisfied when I heard de decided to quit the band, but listening to these new songs w/ the new vocalists (ex-Alazka), I can def. see myself enjoying this new album. They’re def. experimenting w/ new things, which we can see w/ the poppy vibes, electronics, guitar solos and even Nico doing backing vocals; but it adds a cool touch to this new chapter of them. I’m hopeful this new album won’t disappoint.

I'm glad that the band is adding some solos to their songs. by other hand I've seen an approach to a kinda wishy-washy pop vibe and don't get me wrong. i see nothing wrong with being melodic but they should polish it more if they want to sound like a serious metal band. i hope they don't completely abandon their progy approach and come back to their senses soon. and just want to comment here that Metal owes nothing to any music nor anyone/anything. For decades, metal music has been underrated, suppressed, manipulated, marginated, canceled and forgotten by the main stream media and the music industry. sum the almost 20 years of guitar backlash and the Grammy awards denied and given to artists that are not even Metal. metal venues being closed by police with no reason at all, the dismantling of the metal scene in the early 90s with MTV banning all metal bands in 1994. I can go on and on. you may not remember or no even know about it, but there are those who know and will never forget. if you feel that Metal is your thing, go for it! be true to yourself! fuck the Music Label, fuck the producer telling you what to do. fuck Spotify, fuck Itunes, it's all a charade. I would rather be ignored than pretend I belong to a polarized society that does not recognize my values.

Songs I think you should start with are in parentheses. Conjurer-Blackened Sludge Metal (Choke) Thou-Tows The Line Between Doom And Sludge (In The Kingdom Of Meaning) Holy Fawn-Post Rock With Alt Metal Influence (Drag Me Through The Woods) Earthmother-Literally less than 100 monthly listeners on Spotify and it’s NOT FAIR!!!! Also, blackened hardcore/sludge. (Dirge) Have fun.
