The Laser's Edge/Target 19 September, 2006

Twisted into Form is a new technical metal group from Norway. Twisted into Form contains members of Spiral Architect and Extol. Their music is very similar to Spiral Architect, but they are more melodic, dramatic, dynamic and focused. It’s been a long time since I, as a writer on Metal Revolution, have heard a CD of this calibre. I don’t know where to start. Twisted into Form is their outfit for playing their favourite metal style when they were kids themselves: extremely complex rhythm’n’riffing. This genre is not really the predecessor of prog-metal, it's more like an university-variation of thrash metal. From its general progressive nature to its guitar tones to its audible bass lines to its virtuosic drumming to its occasional robotic vocals to its half-growls, with all of that for me it sounds like they did not rehears on the CD. If I must say something positive it must be that there are a lot of emotions with a lot of elements of jazz/fusion and technical metal. If you are a fan of Spiral Architect than I’m sure that this CD is something that you must own in your collection. www.twistedintoform.no
