Last Friday Morpheus Project, a band celebrated for prog metal experimentalism and spearheaded by composer Mustafa Khetty, released their debut album Mozaick. The album breaks boundaries by incorporating a variety of musical nuances that are normally excluded from the genre into it seamlessly, which only serves to make the overarching listening experience richer.
While all tracks exemplify this wonderfully, a particularly strong example can be found in ‘Tomorrow Never Comes.’ What begins as a tapestry of rhythm that’s largely hallmarked by the use of bongo drums organically evolves into a funk-fueled hardcore haven. This exemplifies Morpheus Project’s ability to weave together a conglomerate of musical elements and still manage to have them find a home under the prog umbrella, which is something that prevails throughout the album. Mozaick is a debut album where the bar was set high, leaving any future output from Morpheus Project as something that will be hotly anticipated.
