LAST CHANCE TO REASON, progressive metal group from Augusta, Maine, has released Corey Norman-directed video for ‘Upload Complete’, song taken from the album ‘Level 2’, released in April 2011 via Prosthetic Records. ‘Level 2’, produced by Jamie King, is a concept album, set in a “Tron”-like virtual world, revolving around the relationship between man and technology, our move from physical reality to virtual spaces and what these changes mean to our lives and our art. The lyrics are expressed from the point of view of an artificial intelligence facing the violent reality of a videogame world.
“On ‘Level 2’,” writes AllMusic's William Ruhlmann “LAST CHANCE TO REASON's mental capacity (their ability to reason, you might say) seems to have expanded to match their musical chops. The heavy metal band was already one cut above standard-issue metal, and here it continues to be, with the guitars sometimes diddling into Steve Vai territory and, in particular, keyboards that, with the stop-and-start rhythms, evoke the sound of prime-era YES.” Read the rest of it here.
LAST CHANCE TO REASON features: Chris Corey – bass, AJ Harvey – guitar, Mike Lessard – vocals, Brian Palmer - keys/synth, Evan Sammons – drums and Tom Waterhouse – guitar.
