Gracepoint
Minnesota's Gracepoint produced a solid debut album in 2000 entitled
Science Of Discontent.
Rooted strongly in the power/progressive metal field, with
complex riffs that at times border on technical metal (without
being too busy), the band avoided
being overly melodic (a fate that plagues many so-called
progressive bands), both in terms of the dark tone of the songs and
and the gruff but clear mid-range vocals of Matt Tennessen, who
often is quite reminiscient of John Bush from
Armored Saint and
Anthrax.
Factor in a fine independent production (by the band themselves)
and the result was a quality metal album.
Amazingly, the same five guys are now set to release their second album,
16 years in the making, in April 2016.
