'Continuum' is not a name that is easy to wear because there are a lot of bands namesake on the internet (and necessarily Spotify a little tangle brushes!). These 'Continuum' here who just released their 3rd album 'Speculative Thoughts' (after 'Lifeless Ocean' and 'From the Depths') are French and evolve in a Metal progressive style not necessarily very accessible as the compositions are fairly complex out of traditional patterns with breaks of pace and style that can to divert some. 'Observation of the Aleph Point' is a typical example: a first in nearly 5 minutes where style is decidedly punchy then end with a vocal a cappella close to sacred to complete songs in a prog to the 'Krimson King' atmosphere. In an obviously completely different style, reminds me to the theatricality of Angel ', 'Nicolas De Renty' evolving a bit in the same register as 'Christian Décamps'. To conclude, 'Continuum', with his very ambitious last album, not dark never in ease and as often in this case, is certainly intended for an audience of aficionados of progressive metal; the great variety that makes his wealth will probably not reach a much wider audience...
