Artist History
We've been jamming and recording regularly since about '94.The fact that Dave and I share a lot of the same influences (especially Rush) has helped with musical cohesivness.The fact that Dave has had some formal musical education has helped with all the wierd meters and changes Scott comes up with.Beyond that, we can't seem to get arrested in our own back yards(And playing in odd meters is highly illegal in this neck of the woods!!) |

Press Reviews
From http://www.mp3magazine.net/reviews/poprock/skovol_con.shtml
Artist: Skoval Unit
Song title: Conspiracie en Rougue
Genre: Progressive Metal
Rating: 75%
Review: This song actually has an interesting sound to it. It's Progressive metal although it almost has a tinge of 1980s classic rock spiced throughout.
When it comes to the mix and production it's pretty good, although there are some elements that possibly could be improved on. For example the vocals could use some work in the department of EQ, with a bit more volume and potentially additional work on diction to make the vocals stand out more when compared to the other musical elements such as the guitar and bass. Overall, there is an interesting idea behind the song, and its use of somewhat unconventional rhythmic elements making all the more interesting. Probably one of the only things that holds the song back from and better than it is the mix and in addition, some extra work on the vocals to tighten up the rhythms and harmonies would also improve the way the track sounds as a whole. Still, if you're looking for something that sounds quite different you should definitely check out this track.
