Even before entering the world of Biolith, I had a couple qualms with Third Ion. But I only have myself to blame for this. I picked up Biolith for their new vocalist but found nerdy album covers and absurd record titles. The album of discussion here is Third Ion‘s 2015 debut, 13/8 Bit. And Biolith continues along the same lines as the debut (more of that to come). Some of you may find this exciting, but I do not; never having been a fan of video games. Do I hate them? Well, no, but my anger management specialist suggested I give up this vice or he’d walk. For years he has been trying to convince me that Guile is no match for Ryu and my stubbornness will lead to homicide. But, if there is a style of metal appropriate for all the video game mumbo jumbo, it’s prog. Biolith has a bit more focus than 13/8 Bit, but it’s all still there and still lacks staying power. Anyway, let’s get back to the real reason everyone has been talking about this band: the vocalist. Well, I guess the band isn’t short of semi-famous members.
