Review: Wheel 'Charismatic Leaders' (progressive metal)

[@johnmichaelwilliams6694]

Another album added to the listening list for the coming weekend. Not all progressive metal catches my attention but thanks to you, Pete, and SoT, it has least made its way into regular listening. Looking forward to hearing this in its entirety. Thanks again for these weekly new product episodes.

I really like this, you had me at Riverside and Tool. They also remind me of early Soen, which is a compliment (they are my fave band currently).

Bought their CD when I saw them open for Caligula's Horse in Brisbane just under a month ago. Need to hurry and give it a listen!

Extremely underrated band for our time. Unfortunately didn’t get to see them for their Melbourne leg with Caligulas Horse as the vocalist fell sick but saw them at Arctangent. Honestly, this album is good but Pete if you get the chance their other two albums are even better. Resident Human is fantastic. Great to see you were able to dive into this band!

I liked their last album, so, I need to check this one out. FYI, the other "Wheel" band is pretty cool, too. They're a doom band from Germany. Check out "Preserved in Time" by them. It's a really good album.

Thanks for reviewing Pete, sounds like I should give it a listen.

Saw them when they toured with Epica and Apocalyptica last year. Very impressive.

4 out of 5 stars ⭐️. No slouch. Thanks for your time Pete 👍💯

Just saw these guys at a small intimate venue. A great show. They closed with Freeze my favorite from the album.

Haven`t heard it yet, but when you mentioned hearing Riverside and Tool influences, that piqued my curiosity. Will check it out.

Reminded me a lot of Soen. Very good!

I know these guys should be right up my alley, but when I listened to them I was indifferent to it and it didn't grab me. I'll have to listen again. But it's been a banner year for prog metal.

Jimmy Page into this type of stuff very cool
