| Australia's Contrive is a metal trio whose left of center minimalist approach renders interesting arrangements. Songs like the title track with its Helmet meets Quicksand feel, the Stabbing Westward versus Prong vibe of "Prepare to Fall", and the burly punk rock riff propelling "Shifting Focus" present the band as a bit on the alternative side of the fence. The excellent production from Fredrik Nordstrom (Arch Enemy, Opeth) zeroes in on the band's well-versed dynamic shifts, making The Meaning Unseen a solid album that celebrates alt metal expansiveness. | ||
