Squalus

Squalus is more or less the continuation of the late great Giant Squid, one of those odd experimental bands that the metal world needs more of. While the general spirit of Squid is present here, this is a different beast, starting with the odd instrument configuration. Mainman Aaron Gregory has traded his guitar for a bass and thus the lineup is completely guitar-free, with one and often two basses complemented by swirling odd keyboards and samples to forge a pretty original style, perhaps best described as progressive sludge. This isn't for everyone (then again neither was Giant Squid), but it deserves more attention than it's getting.
