If Imminent Sonic Destruction is upon you, then what should you expect? Some form of extreme metal, possibly death, black, or hardcore metal or, possibly some amalgam of all? Or not. The creation of Detroit guitar wizard Tony Piccoli, Imminent Sonic Destruction is a modern progressive metal band, which also features some of the Motor City’s finest musicians. Notable is former Tiles drummer Pat DeLeon.

Here’s a few words of first impression of Beyond the Bridge’s debut The Old Man and the Spirit: ambitious, grand, and sweeping. The work is a monolith, from concept to music, of progressive metal from this young German band. Be forewarned: several spins are required to grasp the scope of The Old Man and the Spirit. That’s not to say that this work is overly complex, but it is quite long and packed with great music.

Possibly indicative of the album title, Greek progressives Persona Non Grata hoped to ‘up their game’ with their sophomore release, Quantum Leap. Released in December, this fine work of progressive metal could easily be added to the best of 2011, right along side their peers Symphony X and Dream Theater.
