Art Rock Show – Discipline – Breadcrumbs (Week 48)

Discipline is een progressieve rockband uit Detroit, bekend om hun dramatische live-optredens, complexe composities en donkere, verhalende songs. Sinds de vroege jaren ’90 bouwt de band — onder leiding van zanger, toetsenist en componist Matthew Parmenter — aan een unieke mix van symfonische rock, art-rock en avant-prog.

Mel Allen van The Progressive Aspect (TPA): “Formed in Detroit during 1987, they have recorded five studio albums before this one, each made with such care and attention proving that quality is often better than quantity. Now the band have returned with this new album, eight years after their last. Was it worth the wait? Oh yes in my opinion it is, they have delivered an excellent example of modern progressive music with a sound that is recognisable as Discipline – oozing quality, beauty, restrained tension, superbly played and presented throughout demonstrating their time between releases has been put to great use.

For this follow up release they have signed to ‘ProgRock.com’s Essentials’, and joining band leader Matthew Parmenter for Breadcrumbs is Matthew Kennedy and Chris Herin, plus award winning musician and composer Henry Parmenter on drums. The album consists of five tracks ranging from five to just under seventeen minutes in length, mixed by legendary producer Terry Brown (Rush, Fates Warning) and production handled by Matthew Parmenter himself. The album was recorded and engineered by Matthew at Swindlehurst, Michigan with additional recording by Ben Ridley at Windfall Recording New York. Mastering was handled by Ray Montford at Anchor Sound. Mention must be made for the striking cover art provided by renowned artist Hugh Syme. (…)

It is safe to say that Discipline are back and still top of their game with this majestic, thoughtful and beautifully created album full of wonderful melodies, cinematic stylings and musical complexity. I think this will appeal to new listeners, but equally is full of what the diehard fan love about the band. Repeated listens deliver the depth and quality of this release, for me personally each play makes me think they have delivered a classic.”
