Canvas Solaris
"Penumbra Diffuse"
(Sensory)
"Penumbra Diffuse" is the 2nd full length release from this Georgia based instrumental tech-metal trio. It also marks their debut effort for Sensory after the successful release of "Sublimination" for Tribunal Records. The band has shown tremendous growth since their beginings in 1999, evolving out of the death metal/mathcore scene. Dropping their vocalist along the way, the band decided to emphasize intricate arrangements, creating compositions that only the most adept musicians could play. Canvas Solaris music resonated equally with fans of technical metal co-horts Spiral Architect and Cynic as well as bands like Don Caballero and Dillinger Escape Plan. "Penumbra Diffuse" demonstrates musical artists that continue to mature. Now drawing inspiration from progressive gods like King Crimson, Voivod and Mr. Bungle, they have added more textural elements, with keyboards and acoustic instruments playing a more prominent role in the music. The music now has a more expansive sound but still retaining their trademark technical elements.
