"Inclusions" is an instrumental exploration of progressive rock, neoclassical sounds and modern metal. Contradictory, complex and oft disjointed, it forms a desperate search for answers within the flaws and cracks of spiralling dreams... Recorded, produced and designed in Canberra and Melbourne, Australia, between March 2022 and September 2023. Composition and performances by Ivan Bullock (electric guitars, electric bass, keyboards, programming). Vocal version of "Seven Times Burnt" only available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wuWgQ-a4O5U REVIEWS: The Progspace: https://theprogspace.com/album_releases/week-35-2023/ "...sonically exploring the wide fields of progressive rock, dark classical and modern electronic music, with some excursions into jazz and metal in between. What might appear like a weird selection of genres at first sight gets actually smoothly interwoven to wonderful, new soundscapes." Metal Temple: http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/m_2/minorarc-inclusions.htm "... Are things any clearer? They are at times, but don’t close your eyes for too long. Overall, none of these songs are straightforward. Indeed, there is such a variety of sounds presented that, as a listener, you are on the tips of your feet throughout the album. What Ivan set out to accomplish, he did. Read the introductory passage again…contradictory, disjointed, and a person desperate for answers. That is exactly what I hear on the album." Sounds Good Webzine: https://www.soundsgoodwebzine.com/minorarc-seven-times-burnt/ "...an engaging and overwhelming listen, the progression of which generates a vortex of aggressive vibrations, with rough and sharp connections that leave room for more technical and refined riffs, classics of the typically Metal sound. A dynamic listen with an intense flavor with the intent..." Metal Junkbox: "The band manages to navigate exquisitely through various styles and aspects, inserting considerable doses of its own identity. It is important to highlight the quality of the musicians involved, who are of the highest level." PROGland: "... the musical journey present here is something unique. In weight, intensity and emotion. The truth is that the track and Minorarc's unique work is a journey beyond pure music, but the journey of artistic authenticity. And the authentic beauty here is second to none, and perfect."… Expand
