Pivot: Enter the Exosphere

Enter the Exosphere is a fresh music release that generally steers towards heavy progressive rock. Though it does head towards even heavier territory at times such as the guitar at the start of rocker "VIII. Discount Lobotomy", and the solo section of the impressive title track.

The tunes on Enter the Exosphere are the work of the progressive band Pivot of Raleigh, North Carolina. Six tracks feature on Enter the Exosphere so this isn't a long release, but what there is on the album is a vastly enjoyable taster of what Pivot are capable of producing.

"XV. Lair Of The Aquarian" at first seems like it's Pivot's turn to go tranquil but this song turns into something quite powerful. "II. A Moment Of Clarity" is such a great track that builds up to a chorus that gets trapped in your head, Pivot have a real hit with this one. To "IV. The Rebirthers" as drums and bass combine before the heaviness of the guitars establish the foundations for Pivot to execute their commanding style of rock. Rocking out with " VI. Nature Of The Beast" and Pivot's time on here is complete.

Pivot's music is filled with catchy riffs and melodies, and Enter the Exosphere is a refreshing and memorable release.
