This is potentially the release on this list we’re the most excited about, but we’ll save it for another time. Mantra, because it’s from Joseph A. Peragine, was always going to be rad. And of course, we knew it would have backings from his longtime partner in mathematic crime, Chris Pennie of The Dillinger Escape Plan. However, drastically upping our heartbeat here is none other than the presence of Don Caballero‘s Damon Che. Even if you haven’t been able to get on with Peragine’s hyper-technical song structures up to this point, this another evolution in the steps he took with 33, which displayed a moderate Don Cab influence. Come for the obligatory greatness of the legendary drummers, sure, but stay for the absolutely vibing instrumentals on top of them. —(FeckingBahamas.com)
