It seems to be a common occurrence these days for bands to alter their sound, whether it be a different feel for each album, or even delving into new genres. More often than not when this occurs, bands will opt for the softer direction – in the case of Australian progressive metal band Copia; they’ve done the exact opposite.
After releasing their debut album ‘Eleven:Eleven’ in 2013, Copia have followed it up with a clearly heavier effort in ‘Epoch’, which is due to drop on the 31st of March. From the opening track ‘Broken Bones’, there are obvious signs of this new direction which begin with the growling vocals in the first verse.
Copia has previously shown that they are capable of mixing melody into their songs, and although it is still the case with this album, melody definitely takes a back seat in this instance. The riffs are full of energy, and really get your blood pumping, but the most impressive part would be the incorporations of different elements within each song – which was shown on their previous album also.
