Useless Concept comes from France and "Somewhere Else" is their latest self financed album which includes ten tracks. Unfortunately the band didn't send any info about them and in their website you can only contact them and see some photos. Anyway to the music now, Useless Concept, walks mostly in the progressive metal but with their own vision of this genre. The band combines influences from Tool and Metallica with a very interesting way and i think this thing gives this magic sense of musicianship that these guys have. Great compositions, with well worked ideas and interesting themes especially in the guitars. But even if the band has some great ideas, they don't have a catchy song to remember it after the first listening. Honestly in the first time that i heard this album, i wonder how fast fifty five minutes passed, but also i recognize that i hadn't any tune in my head. So we can say that this isn't the easiest album to hear, you must pay a lot of your attention in order to understand all the messages that the band give to us through their music in order to have a great time during the listening of "Somewhere Else" and maybe who knows after it you will go for somewhere else.
