Alteration (album)


Alteration is the debut album by Australian/Indonesian band Altera Enigma, recorded over 2 years and released on January 2006. The emotional and sophisticated style found on the album drew comparisons to Liquid Tension Experiment, Gordian Knot, and Cynic.
A music video was released for the bonus/outtake track "Perpetual Motion".

Style

Alteration mainly features a mixture of progressive metal and jazz fusion, but contains many other diverse musical styles such as electronica and dark ambient. Jason DeRon has stated in an interview that while he does not like the term "progressive metal", he feels that it is the closest description that can be used.
