Isphet is a one-person Metal band from Soutern Slovenia. On the debut album "Escape Room", Isphet proves that you do not need vocals to create an impressive soundscape. On seven tracks, the solo artists builds up atmospheric, edgy, and rough sounds.
Isphet creates atmospheric Post Metal backgrounds that will please fans of Six Days of Calm or Noorvik. Rhythms and movements of the album are mostly influenced by Prog Metal. Intelligent and complex drumming creates a massive backbone on which high leads and sweet harmonies float like clouds above a windy sea. And finally, there is that edgy Nu Metal vibe which makes the sound on "Escape Room" so unique. Harsh breaks and synthetic sounds add a certain millenium-era vibe to the album.
Isphet's "Escape Room" is brachial and meditative at the same time. Layers of Prog, Post and Nu Metal interact without disturbing each other. Hence, this is a very emotional output musicking isolation, awakening, hope, and progress simultaneously.
