Communic
The Norwegian trio Communic came together in 2003, two of the
three guys hailing from a similar band,
Scariot.
A year later a well-received demo was released, followed by
their debut album,
Conspiracy In Mind, in 2005.
At their heaviest there's a clear
Nevermore
vibe, both in the crunchy, almost thrashy riffs as well
as vocally -- Oddleif Stensland can't quite match Warrel Dane's
power and command, but he comes close at times.
At other times these guys relax into a more traditional
heavier progressive metal, and Stensland's vocals takes on a
more melodic feel.
The band is now five albums in to a mid-level career, though they haven't
quite broken in to the upper ranks.
