Year Zero - Timedemo (2006)

Time Zero are from Latvia, and play a kind of doom metal, mixed with progmetal, pop, psychadelic, and other influences. Musically, it's not too bad, though their numerous influences can be irritating. For example, they'll spend a few minutes creating an slow, depressive atmosphere and then speed it up and switch to a more progmetal sound. But the vocals are the weakest point for me. They fit the music okay, but I find them over-expressive and cheesy. Still, this is professionally done and original, and I could see where there would be a market for this. It's just not for me.
