I’m coming up a bit short on how to describe the music of Archaeologist. In this case, that is a good thing. It’s a heavy, modern, metal, alternative, progressive amalgamation of styles that works quite well. But don’t let the “modern” tag scare you off if you like more traditional forms of heavy music – its mixed nicely in there with plenty of other traditional metal forms. Even more interesting is that Archaeologist is a one man project, with Kyle Schaefer performing the instruments and vocals. Maybe this is what gives the EP its consistent feel, even as it cycles through so many different styles and genres. Even the vocals go through a range of styles, from clean and alternative to deathly growls. This EP is the first in a series of planned EPs. Oh, and there is also an instrumental version of it. Archaeologist is an interesting and original project that I recommend you keep your eye on.
