Prog Metal Meets Macclesfield UK Natural Invention are a heavily prog-influenced metal band based in Macclesfield. They have a simple 4 piece line up, and are interesting and entertaining, with heavy riffs, soaring vocals and thundering drums, all in synch with the evermore complex song structures, time signatures and rhythms. They are currently in the studio recording a new album ready to be heard in the Winter of 2009.
Distorted clouds of organ, synth, and vibraphone churn above hypnagogic waves of percussion and bass. Referencing psych and prog without the use of guitars, Lumerians create cinematic rock music that is warm, dark, organic and non-retro. Male and female vocals propel songs forward without eclipsing the chimeric ambience of the music. Parallels could be made to the ominous soundscapes of Ennio Morricone, the propulsive rhythms of Can, and the hypnotic oscillations of Silver Apples.
