Description

Still sealed 2020 reissue in digipak

Seigmen’s third release, Total, was produced by Sylvia Massey who had just done Undertow by Tool and it shows. Like Tool, there are those slow repetitive riffs along with interesting little bass runs between sections making the whole thing flow beautifully. Great atmospherics and some fine riffs. On this album, they do stretch their wings with tracks showing different sides to their repertoire. The album then features material that goes in all kinds of direction with anything from high pitched vocals to gregorian chantings. Monument has a Pink Floyd feel at the start, the tension builds into a Tool riff which kind of beats you into submission before dropping down to the sound of something like a heartbeat. Fascinating stuff. This album is challenging and is truly progressive as it floats through so many genres and tries new ideas constantly. A band on top of their game.
