Entropist - “Creation” Need prog metal people smarter than me to tell me if this is actually good or not
Found this on my Release Radar and fingered I’d ask people who know prog metal better than I do what they think.
Weirdly enough, I actually met one of the guys from the band (pretty sure the bassist?) on a cruise ship like a year and a half ago. Subscribed to support them and then completely forgot about them until this popped up.

It only has a few hundred listens on Spotify, which honestly surprised me because the production is legitimately pretty damn good. Not saying it’s some genre-defining masterpiece or anything, but it feels way more polished than I expected from a band this small.
Also this is apparently the only song on their Spotify right now, so I’m guessing they wiped older material at some point.
For context, I’m a big Tool, Protest the Hero, and BTBAM guy, but I don’t really know enough about prog metal technically to critique stuff beyond “this sounds sick” or “this feels kinda generic.”
What I liked most was the atmosphere and texture. It’s got a modern cinematic/prog-industrial thing going on, but it still feels intentional instead of just being technical for the hell of it.
I mostly lurk here, honestly. I like reading the discussions people have about albums and songs because there are a lot of people here who clearly know this genre way better than I do. So I’d genuinely be interested to hear what you guys think about it, good or bad.
