Rocktopia: Clandestine - 'The Invalid' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Ant Heeks: Formed in 2006, female fronted Clandestine are creating some serious waves in their native Los Angeles, winning the title of 'Best Female Fronted Band' from Rock City News magazine after the release of their self-titled EP. Offering a diverse mixture of contemporary progressive metal, electronica and punk, debut album 'The Invalid' is set to boost the band into the major league, mixed by Sylvia Massey (Tool, System Of A Down.) I will readily admit that this type of music is not something I normally find comfortable listening at all, in fact I find it about as comfortable as falling down the stairs, but there is something quite compelling about Clandestine's amalgamation of the likes of Evanescence, Dream Theater, Tool, Rush, Linkin Park and Lacuna Coil that makes me want to listen more, and listening more is what you need to do with this album as it is not an ins!
tant fix, but infinitely more rewarding with each outing. Read the full review on Rocktopia. http://ping.fm/51TFH
