Artifex Pereo

At first listen, Artifex Pereo caught my ear. What starts off as a fairly non-descriptive group truly builds and grows into a whole sound that that I find hard to match to existing groups out there… If I were to try, I’d say take the lead singer of Circa Survive and throw a ‘Tides of Man’ish band behind him that isn’t afraid to throw a pipe organ into the music of the alternative/rock/experimental indie sound. But then some of their chord structures are more inline with what I’d hear from a post-hardcore/screamo group.. even while they use some great clean tones to emphasize moments. So.. I simply can’t place these guys which makes them all the more enjoyable for me to listen. Now, it’s your turn…
