Song of the Day: Azusa – Interstellar Islands

So it has been messing with my head this band Azusa & how I think I know whom they sound like. I know the band is composed of members from The Dillinger Escape Plan (whom I saw live many years ago), Absurd2, Frodus, Arvinger, & lo & behold-Extol, Mantric & Benea Reach! This band is like a female vocal version of those 3 latter bands & has released 7 singles so far. Solid State Records truly knows how to find awesome music IMHO. Eleni Zafiradou is (believe it or not) a pop vocalist, but she screams like the best of my fave female vocalist fronted bands (Your Chance to Die & Bloodlined Calligraphy). She does not growl though on anything I have heard yet. If you like your vocals screeched & your music progressive while still being extreme, look no further! Interstellar Islands captures the essence of this band’s vocals & musicianship quite well.
