Discipline is a progressive rock band from Detroit, known for their dramatic live performances, complex compositions and dark, narrative songs. Since the early 1990s, the band — led by singer, keyboardist and composer Matthew Parmenter — has been building a unique blend of symphonic rock, art rock and avant-prog.
Mel Allen The Progressive Aspect (TPA): “Formed in Detroit during 1987, they have recorded five studio albums before this one, each made with such care and attention proving that quality is often better than quantity. Now the band have returned with this new album, eight years after their last. Was it worth the wait? Oh yes in my opinion it is, they have delivered an excellent example of modern progressive music with a sound that is recognisable as Discipline – oozing quality, beauty, restrained tension, superbly played and presented throughout demonstrating their time between releases has been put to great use.
For this follow up release they have signed to ‘ProgRock.com’s Essentials’, and joining band leader Matthew Parmenter for Breadcrumbs is Matthew Kennedy and Chris Herin, plus award winning musician and composer Henry Parmenter on drums. The album consists of five tracks ranging from five to just under seventeen minutes in length, mixed by legendary producer Terry Brown (Rush, Fates Warning) and production handled by Matthew Parmenter himself. The album was recorded and engineered by Matthew at Swindlehurst, Michigan with additional recording by Ben Ridley at Windfall Recording New York. Mastering was handled by Ray Montford at Anchor Sound. Mention must be made for the striking cover art provided by renowned artist Hugh Syme. (…)
It is safe to say that Discipline are back and still top of their game with this majestic, thoughtful and beautifully created album full of wonderful melodies, cinematic stylings and musical complexity. I think this will appeal to new listeners, but equally is full of what the diehard fan love about the band. Repeated listens deliver the depth and quality of this release, for me personally each play makes me think they have delivered a classic.”
