Best prog vocals I heard on Garageband

First fingerprint on track is by a bassline in the vein of Lars K. Norberg of Spiral Architect, so slappy, odd and technical.

Guitars comes in as a flock of ominous knights, fade in fast and
nervous with heavy triplets of chords like the best Helmet. Bass is
roaring under like a dinosaur. But suddenly comes in the singer, and
it's like a shiny ray breaking in.

Vocals are in a single word incredible, they continue to move among
kind of "Geddy Lee sings Maynard James Keenan", Kimberly Goss (!!!) and
Protest the Hero's Rody Walker with his emo nuances mixed to metal
paradigm.

The effect it's similar to listen to old times prog vocalists, when
they where characters while they sung, adding different moods or even voices to their performances.

Chorus is really blistering with a spanish-like guitar/bass wall of
sound (with "spanish" I mean when the theme is based on a note and his half tone up alternation + tiny variations, Dead Kennedys with
California Uber Alles or Bauhaus in many songs knew something about it), which is very apt to throw up singer, and it *happens*, higher and higher.

Band sound reminds me also High on Fire powerful sound, but the
best comparison can be with Protest the Hero. There are many common elements: gorgeous vocals (here even wider), complex rhythm and instrument parts intertwined with apparent ease, melodies you remember at once.

Songs fake to finish at 6:30, but restart and grow in intensity
'til falling suddenly at the end of a perfectly long controlled scream,
underlining a perfect performance.

There is no boring moments during the whole song, not a weakness. I am really impressed.
