THE BEAST

"Fractal Cypher puts up a great effort of establishing a lot of cinematic overtones on the EP / mini-album and really layer their music masterfully." - Technical Music Review

"I really enjoyed Fractal Cypher’s debut album The Human Paradox, and this new release is a great overview of what the band’s modern progressive metal is capable of... Another strong release from this up-and-coming group." - Indy Metal Vault

#5 on VOIR (Montreal weekly) Top 2016 Quebec Artists for debut album “The Human Paradox”

“an enormously talented band” - Progressive Music Planet

“Montreal has another very hot iron in the fire of metal” - Metal Observer

“their style is tailor made to resonate with fans of Dream Theater and Symphony X, but without the thick layer of pretentiousness that follows the former around.” - Sorrow Eternal

“If you’ve ever wanted a hearty progressive mix of old and new, then look no further. Imagine Dream Theater and Pagan’s Mind thrown into a melting pot and then given a modern makeover. Do you like the sound of that? I do, which is why I like Fractal Cypher.” - Wonderbox Metal

“La production se veut impeccable, les compositions sont copieuses au niveau des arrangements et Fractal Cypher possède cette qualité qui se veut bien importante pour le genre : allier la complexité musicale avec des mouvements sonores accrocheurs.” – Voir

“Montréal Quintet Fractal Cypher aren’t one of those bands you can easily categorise. Mixing a blend of Power Metal in the vein of Sonata Arctica and Avantasia, but with an aggressive, progressive and technical edge that would sit comfortably along-side the likes of Devin Townsend or Scar Symmetry. Much like the title of their album ‘The Human Paradox’, the mixing of these styles would seem somewhat paradoxical, however they are successfully and seamlessly blended to work cohesively with one another… they’re definitely one to keep an eye on, that’s for sure.” – Loud Stuff
