Vocals feel a touch too low in the mix for my liking. Also, the screams are no good at all. Other than that, it isn't bad.

That, or the guitar panned to the right is too high in the mix.

The vocals are far better than in past efforts.

Skepsis a dynamic, up and coming progressive/metal/rock act. With layers of intricate and heavy rhythmical drums and bass, technical guitar playing, soaring vocal melodies, and bellowing screams, this is a band whose groovability is as sure a thing as gravity. Skepsis means skeptical in many languages around the world. Beyond that it is a two-tiered settlement in Ancient Greece, and was also a library where Aristotle shelved his works in modern day western Turkey. By definition of the word, it means: philosophic doubt as to the objective reality of phenomena; broadly : a skeptical outlook or attitude. Andrew Penner (Penner), Roozbeh Bahmani (Rooz), and Tommy Siatskas have been writing music, and defining their sound under the name Skepsis since July of 2006. What started as a hobby, has grown into a progressive and modern-day metal band that has recently re-invented itself with the addition of front man Brock Buckley, and bassist Dave Harris. The band has found recent success in the Toronto Music Scene and has plans for releasing a demo and future EPK. Shows are always coming and going - so check back often for new material and a chance to see the band play live sometime soon!

No, really?

Much better than the bollocks you've posted in the past. But there's nothing original there, I've heard a million bands who sound more or less the same as you. There's nothing wrong with that if you just love the writing, playing and recording of that music, but I wouldn't be anticipating that "big break" if I was you.

The singer still sucks a dick, sounds like he'd have the biggest headache after performing/recording a couple of songs/getting everything out of his nose. And he's just so dull/lifeless/bland. I bet he's a full on boring fucker 'irl' isn't he? Don't lie to me Penner. Bits of the screaming sound okay in places but then it gets a bit shit. But that doesn't really matter since this crowd/genre seems to care far more about image than any kind of substance. And like Iginfest said, it's all nothing new/groundbreaking and nothing really stands out. But it's early days so that probably doesn't matter. The playing sounds pretty tight.

Hasn't Skepsis been playing together since like, the 50s?

Oh Penner, must you always retroactively change your stance?

"No really, guys, this time for sure!"

So...Not seeing the pants shitting here.

Mocking Penner's CP aside:

Vocals are still at least 50% shit.

You shouldn't call yourself "prog" If nothing you've ever done sounds like it was done a decade ago as a knockoff of some cover act. slight change in temo? Slightly different riff a couple times? OMG PARAMORE IS PROG!

Guitars are mostly solid, but still bland. I don't care enough to copy or learn the lead riffs on the two songs, but the "gay apreggiation" riff is pretty similar in both songs. Not to mention, it was boring in the 70s. There's not enough going on in the song to make it excusable.

The songwriting is actually decent, most of the time. If your vocalist wasn't a complete tosser I might not have noticed at all.

Not everything is bad, but nothing is particularly awe inspiring, either.
