fantastic new album from this Seattle band that sounds like they came out of the depths of a Scandanavian forest!…Strongly reminiscent of Opeth but with a more aggressive, heavy sound along with ambient sections and even a wonderful full-on Baroque orchestral opener on “P.R.E.Y.” Easily one of the best albums this year!

“Conspiracy in Paranoland” offers some solid stoner grooves, a chugging, mid-tempo number that kinda reminds me of Fu Manchu. “Punishment” has a pretty strong Down influence, with that mid-tempo, breakdown-heavy, semi-stoner thrash, and a chorus that leaves a bustle in your hedgerow.

Rhine is one of metal’s best kept secrets… but not for much longer.
Rhine play progressive heavy metal in the best sense of the word. With some progressive metal bands, there is often an over emphasis on the progressive over the heavy or vice-versa, but Rhine have got the balance just right.
An Outsider by Rhine has to be one of the most interesting and intriguing Metal albums that I have ever listened to. I have run through this album more times than the average album I review. The innovation and experimentation on this album is definitely what sets this album apart from any Most if not all Metal albums.

“Conspiracy in Paranoland – the particularity about this song is that it was written at the time of our demo CD in 2010. It was recorded then, but we didn’t have time to record the vocals. Therefore, we’ve been playing it live once in a while for the last 5 years (it was also part of the set list on our 1st show) and finally got to record a proper version of it! Conspiracy in Paranoland is a 100% pure “vintage BTMTL”!” comments bassist Gary Lyons.
