Unified Past was a well kept progressive rock secret. However, their 2013 release “Spots” was their most gripping recording yet that connected with fans of progressive rock and was met with positive reviews in progressive rock circles.
Featuring artwork by internationally acclaimed artist Ed Unitsky, “Spots” is the most ambitious release in the Unified Past catalogue. It is a musical concept whose aim is to take the listener on a journey to various musical spots across the progressive rock landscape. Starting with the opening track, “Blank”
Unified Past delivers a powerful statement and quickly catches the listeners attention. From there, the band takes you on the journey – exploring various styles of progressive rock including progressive metal, fusion, and classic 70’s influenced prog, highlighted by the Pink Floyd meets Genesis influenced closer, “The Final”.
“Spots” is a deep and structured release and is best absorbed when listened to in its entirety, yet any song can stand on it’s own, giving the listener the ability to pick their own favorite spots along this aural adventure.
