Apeiron Bound are as contradictory as their name ('Apeiron' means infinite or boundless, so they're bound for infinity but one could read it as 'Apeiron, Bound': that their boundlessness is bound; a contradiction), and their debut Multiplicity is a showcase of their bizarro take on progressive metal. Their closest ancestors are the deeply underrated Palaeopneumatic by Dissona, and Organized Chaos' debut Inner Conflict, but some more conventional comparisons may be required: the off-kilter theatricality of Coal by Leprous is on display, and the schizoid nature of Devin Townsend's Deconstruction or BTBAM at their most idiosyncratic can be heard, but there's something stranger going on here.
