One of 2020’s best debut albums comes from Atlanta progressive post-hardcore band Satyr. If you weren’t already aware, we’re sorta enamored with what the band is doing right now. Reminiscent of the likes of The Fall Of Troy and Dance Gavin Dance, Satyr puts their own spin on a crowded genre with a very unique sound that’s more than the sum of their parts. In short, Satyr deserves to be on your radar – like, right now.
While the band’s touring plans aren’t clear right now (maybe you’ve heard of that thing called the Coronavirus), Satyr drummer Brody Smith (who also holds down the fort in the bands Exist and Proliferation) has released a new drum playthrough for the song “Bird” – one of the more technically-inclined songs on the band’s debut album. While it was actually released in late February, that timeline doesn’t really matter, considering good music and musical talent in general has no expiration date. Give the playthrough a watch below, and prepare to be impressed.
