For almost a decade, California-based progressive-rock band, Hail The Sun<\/strong>, have continued to push themselves as writers and musicians. On their latest full-length, ‘Mental Knife’,<\/em><\/a> the quartet considerably reach the limit of their capabilities. The end result is a record that delivers in\u00a0technical prowess and sonic execution.<\/p>\n

For vocalist and drummer\u00a0Donovan Melero, ‘Mental Knife’<\/em> allows him tackle the\u00a0constant need for self-improvement and his obsession with making up for lost time. Songs such as ‘Glass Half Empty’<\/em> and ‘Suffocating Syndrome’<\/em> sees him acknowledge his own imperfections and providing the strength necessary to work towards correcting them. When combined with Hail The Sun<\/strong>‘s dynamic instrumentation, the results are impressive.<\/p>\n

Shane Gann is one of two guitarist who through\u00a0‘Mental Knife’<\/em> supplies a blend of attack blasts and gorgeous lines that weave effortless. With the record now a few months old and a short run of US shows supporting the inspirational the Fall of Troy, we spoke Shane to discuss music by the numbers.<\/p>\n
