The Daughters of Fission bill their sound as a mix of rock, alternative and progressive but I will go ahead and throw them into the metal bin as well.
You can hear elements of Tool and Dream Theater (Stereomud even came to mind on a couple occasions). I would not put the Daughters of Fission in the same category instrumentally or compare them talent wise just yet, but they have a good start on developing a sound that's uniquely their own.
Here are a few songs I was really into. Don't let the opening piano on "behind the primates" fool you this song this song rocks hard. Probably my favorite in the album. The song "torso of…" has sort of an 80's new wave thing going on and is probably the best tune vocally. The final cut "ape' is just over a minute long but it packs a serious punch. Pure old school thrash and I love love it.
Every song is solid and worth a listen if you appreciate rock or metal. The sound quality of the music is excellent (props to the production team). But don't take my word for it, go see for yourself. You can check them out on MySpace or if you'd like you can download the DRM free high quality version of "Abandonatomy" free of charge on eMusic now (click on buy above).
Serve with headphones while surfing the web or playing video games. Also would be good mixed in a play list and turned up when having a few beers with your metal buddies
