There are aspects of other classical works spread throughout, but it's nearly impossible to pin their sound down to one influence or another. The blend includes a few bits that sound like classic Metallica to a point... but only to a point. Their technique includes styles from rock and classical, but also of world music such as African tribal beats.
My favorite track on the album has to be the title track "Spectrum of the Sky." I would love to see the dancers of So You Think You Can Dance choreograph a number to it. Something about it builds a number of peaks and valleys that gave me chills as I listened. The use of silence punctuates the motions of the music beautifully. I can only imagine what the group sounds like in person.
If you are on the lookout for something unique - please check out Break of Reality's Spectrum of the Sky. It debuts on May 16, 2009 at Mason Hall at Baruch College in New York City. Be sure to visit their website as well.
