The Soundbyte
The Soundbyte is the solo project of former
The 3rd And The Mortal
guitarist Trond Engum, and that in itself gives a good baseline
as to what's going on here, the project debuting in 2004 with
Rivers Of Broken Glass.
For the uninitiated, The 3rd And The Mortal was an ambient/doom metal
band that gradually shed much of its metal leanings for a more
experimental, trip-hop style, and The Soundbyte clearly borrows from
that on some songs, and also branches out a bit like a good solo project
should, as on the excellent big-band swagger of "Waiting".
There's plenty for the late TATM fan to latch onto, even if the metal
moments are fleeting at best.
Two more albums (not reviewed here) were released in 2007 and 2012.
