Aliases is a 5 piece tech / progressive metal band based in Manchester, UK. It's a new band founded by former Sikth guitarist Pin. His former band made quite an impression back in the day and it’s often cited as one of sources of inspiration for the current “djent” movement.
Safer Than Reality is still a very intense effort, despite the more song orientated approach. “All That Glitters”, “Sirens” and “What’s Left For Us” as just as ferocious as Sikth in their prime. Short interludes like “Refraction” and “The Beginning Has No End” form a welcome relief from the overall onslaught that is Safer Than Reality. Another highlight are the vocals provided by Jay Berast. His growls, screams and clean vocals form the perfect counterbalance to the guitar antics by Leah Woodward and Pin himself. “The Reality Of Beliefs” and “We Never Should Have Met” are two other shining examples of what Aliases is capable of.

Production-wise there’s nothing to complain about Safer Than Reality. The dry and in-your-face sound give this album some additional venom.Safer Than Reality is a very promising and mature debut EP. The overall performance is as tight as helland the songs are memorable as well.
Good shit. Thank you!
