Second Mechanism

2012 sophomore album from the British Prog Rock band. The Second Mechanism is the sound of the band reborn, ready once more to propel listeners on a journey to the outer reaches of rock music. But this is a more focused, more intense, more powerful Diagonal; a gleaming amalgam of Passport, Jaga Jazzist, T2, Dungen, Magma, Bo Hansson and Black Sabbath, forged in the crucible of experimentation. The normal rules do not apply here; there is only the obsessive, unashamed spirit of eclecticism and no-hold's-barred musical excess. Thunderous and hypnotic; euphoric and brutal, Diagonal is uncompromising in it's approach and fearless in the creation of music which combines Prog, Jazz, Psych, Krautrock and Metal into an intense and explosive mixture which seems to belong to neither past, present nor future, yet somehow sounds like all three.
