Pigeon Toe – The First Perception 2012
The Fischer brothers, who go by the two-syllable pseudonyms Marsn andHanson, came up with the idea of Pigeon Toe in 2008. Having played separately in the bands Fear My Thoughts, Mongouse and Backslide they pooled their resources into a new band, bringing drummer Norman Lonhardand guitarist Patrick Hagmann from Fear My Thoughts along for the ride.Lonhard is better known these days for manning the kit with another (unrelated) Fischer in extreme metallers Triptykon. The band is rounded out by Ben Krahl on bass. Pigeon Toe are set to release the first fruits of this union with debut album “The First Perception”, available from 24th April onLifeforce Records.
Fear My Thoughts were a melodic death metal band. With 3 ex-members in this new project can we expect similar from Pigeon Toe? Well the melody is still there for sure, there are flashes of metal riffing in places, and the ballsy drumming of Lonhard pushes the feel in that direction, but The First Perception is steadfastly a heavy prog album and a damn good one. I fall short of calling it prog metal. You won’t find the clichés of the genre here – no widdly instrumental wigouts or operatic vocals – just killer songs full of twists and turns and dynamic shifts. Guitars are overdriven rather than saturated in metal distortion, and there is a warm vintage 70s vibe about the production.
