The Review:

Here’s another band that combines the modern rock/metal feel with classic progressive rock leanings and that band is Never So Few. I was contacted by them through MySpace and found them to have very interesting music They sent me a promo copy of their The Howling Blizzard of Signals album, which on the first listen I thoroughly enjoyed!

While Never So Few is more a rock band they remind me of a melding of Ozzy-era Black Sabbath and the more progressive version of Tool in many cases. There’s other gothic style bands that can come to mind but I just can’t pinpoint them. They really have great potential in being along side those two bands as a representation of the new era of modern progressive rock/metal. I so look forward to hearing more from the band. Hopefully they’ll retain the raw feel in future releases.

Never So Few is another one of those bands that can help bring fans from the modern rock/metal side into the progressive side, just in many ways that Tool has done. Check this band out. It’s a name you’ll never forget! Recommended, hell yes!
