Post Description
Progressive Metal group Threshold released one of 2012's best progressive albums, receiving so many glowing reviews and rightly so. Well now it's their guitarist Pete Morten's turn to get some much deserved praise for this great new album. My Soliloquy is Pete's other band who are also of the progressive metal variety and one which he formed long before joining Threshold, and now in 2013 My Soliloquy will finally release their debut The Interpreter and it's a good one.
The Interpreter is sure to spark the interest of Threshold's fans and they wont be disappointed once they hear My Soliloquy's excellent modern progressive metal. Pete is so much more than a skilled guitarist and he really shows what a versatile talent he is taking care of lead vocals, guitars, bass and keyboards, in fact the only instrument he doesn't play on The Interpreter are the drums. Having contributed so much to this recording it really has to be heard to appreciate the amount of effort Pete has put in. Getting back to those vocals and Pete has quite a range and diversity that works a treat.
Compared to Threshold's latest I would say this release is more diverse throughout. Take "Corrosive De-Emphasis" for example; if there was such a thing as progressive dance metal the start of this song would be it. Keyboards feature heavily on The Interpreter along with the guitars, as Pete combines the two so well and "Ascension Pending" is a great example not to mention a fantastic opener.
There may only be eight tracks but there is plenty on offer as you begin to digest the variety and twists presented on The Interpreter and none of those songs are really that short anyway. My Soliloquy are another worthy addition to the better end of the progressive metal rankings.

1.Ascension Pending
