![]() Virtuosity is aplenty in metal, but few metal bands have jazz fusion chops. Intronaut's appeal is, for the most part, instrumental. With a sound that's only moderately aggressive, the band doesn't reduce to "victory," "apocalypse," "rebellion," "catharsis," or other traditional metal themes. That's not just because of their lyrics, which are willfully abstract, and which were omitted altogether from the liner notes of Prehistoricisms. Intronaut, on the other hand, are almost opaque. Yet concrete concerns emerge from Neurosis (the elements) and Isis (water, surveillance). The band is often compared to Neurosis and Isis, who also cultivate inscrutability. ![]() Intronaut is one of the most oblique bands in metal, a genre that doesn't normally reward obliqueness.
