New Single from Infinity Shred (Starscream)

I sometimes wonder how a band comes up with a name. There are so many out there that it's easy to understand when there is some overlap. I'm sure it can be a real headache when trying to build an image and suddenly you have to start all over. Unfortunately for space prog-rockers Starscream, they had to deal with the same pain last week. Fret not, because while Starscream is no more, the new single the band has put out under the name Infinity Shred is just as far out and spacey as their previous work.

Wayfinder is a slightly different song compared to Infinity Shred's last effort. The synth beat used in the beginning reminds me a lot of the Mass Effect series, which I find very fitting for their sound. The slow build up with drums and louder guitar in the middle of the track also packs the same punch as their other songs. There's a bit of drone inspired experimentation near the end, too, that I hope is a clue into what the EP will be like. Overall, I really dig the progression of this single. The full on chiptune sound used heavily in the past has been scaled back a bit on this one, but the style and progression they have built still has me hooked. The full EP should be dropping May 15th, but for now, I highly recommend checking out their first single. Hit the jump to give it a listen.
