Progressive Metal/Rock is very hit or miss with me and Ancestor's second full-length album entitled, 'Of Sound Mind', definitely falls into the former category. Using a perfect mixture of keyboards, riffs, and varied tempos, this album, is a Prog Metal gem. Ancestors are much more than your standard Progressive Metal band though, as I can think of at least 5 of other musical genres at play in this album. Extra points for showing some serious classical piano skills on a couple tracks as well.
Fav Track: 'Bounty of Age', 'Mother Animal', & 'Challenging' (Challenging is a classical piano piece!)
My Rating: 8.5 / 10
