Paul Shuler A decent amount of riffs here with some nice atomosphere. Good instrumental. Stays fairly interesting.

vvill Weedily-weedily-djenty-instrumental-atmospheric-prog, just the way I like it. Seriously though, this music is complex, mixed well, and outrageously technical. Favorite track: The Limerent Object.

Erkadur Do you ever find a true gem of a group and wonder how they only have one album? This is The Mantle: you have found your next obsession! :D

Their unique soundscape & attention to detail is something all progressive metal groups should strive for. The whole album keeps you fully engaged & is fun to listen to. Don't sleep on it!

EVERY track is my favorite: I'm picking one because I "have to" lol. An incredible blend of metal, jazz, electronic, & classical elements.

A must-have for prog fans! <3 Favorite track: Dragons in the Purple Sky.

bmurator In all music, I believe it is crucial to have fun, not matter how serious the music is... :) In fact, you could even say this applies to everything! A lot of people forget this sometimes. Not these guys & certainly not here! This is so playful & addictive, just like Arrogant Bastard said, it is *such* a fun ride you just have to go! Highly recommended!!!

Arrogant Bastard It's been an age since I've found something that brings the joy, chaos and exploration of Liquid Tension Experiment, Racer X and the like. Enter... The Mantle, a progtastic taste of djenty kicks, jazzy licks and techy tricks distilled into a phenomenal and easily digestible experience. 
Join the fun and ride this wave of musical exploration.

Valtozash Holy dooley! This is freaking brilliant. Favorite track: Mosslight.
