Third Man Syndrome is the creation of a dedicated artist who drew solace and inspiration from family, music, and guitars. The new song, "
Ikarus," explores the fine line between risk and bravery. Drawing inspiration from groups like Monkey3 and Long Distance Calling, Third Man Syndrome's instrumental approach to "Ikarus" reflects the themes of striving and the dangers of overreaching in the ancient narrative.
I appreciate many aspects of the song. The frantic rhythm section and the eclectic guitars create a compelling sound, alternating between clean and distorted tones, which are both aggressive and melodic, reminiscent of John Petrucci in certain sections. The song features a variety of themes and variations, making it enjoyable from start to finish. Oh, and the performance is fantastic, as well as the sound and the arrangement, with lots of tasty details.
