The opening track, “Initiation” sees a light and airy synth patch atmosphere, which is carried all throughout, all the while Neeley’s lead melodies and more driving riffs blend in perfectly with Christiansen’s tight and in the pocket drum patterns.

In this episode, progressive metal band Pathos and Logos talk about creating songs out of divergent sounds and styles while still being metal, creating a mythos and lifestyle to go along with the music, and how new album CULT is a journey and every song is a spell. Plus, playing live as a two member band, the connection with Doc Coyle, and measuring success while building for the future.

Upon listening, one music student will undoubtedly recognize another in guitarist Kyle Neeley’s playing and composing. He employs a multitude of guitar styles not inherited by amateur players. Neeley demonstrates pure virtuosity of the instrument throughout, with examples of exotic scales, lightning-fast leads, and even some jazz and blues styles over (quite often) non-traditional time signatures.
