Suffering so you don't have to!
Metalcatto
I’ll say it loud: Hippotraktor is one of the most interesting projects of this decade. This unique blend of Djent, Prog, and Post-Metal has been offering banger after banger, yet it still feels like the band hasn’t reached its full potential—at least not on Stasis. But maybe it has done it on Annihilist. Okay, maybe you should stay and find out. It’s going to be a fun ride.
A few months back, I was minding my own business, which means critiquing papers others wrote because they weren’t up to par… right, you don’t need to know that. Either way, in the middle of that bloodbath, a friend sent me Meridian and I thought nothing of it after listening to the first track. But then I listened to the second and the third. Something had clicked. Hippotraktor (that name…) was different; it was as if The Ocean and Meshuggah had a hipster child. Hence, my expectations for Stasis were high, and that’s always a problem, or is it?
