Prog band Titan consists of thee musicians who met at Appalachian state university. They recorded their debut album during 2012 and it was released earlier this year.
It’s quite a varied album this. It’s clearly Proresssive rock/metal, but it has a varied sound, taking its influences from different bands. At times there is a strong Rush vibe to the music, and at other times it’s much heavier, with more of a Porcupine Tree sound.
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this album, and if you’re a Prog fan then I suggest you check it out – and quickly. Sadly the band split a couple of months ago, so I suspect this album is going to become hard to get hold of.
