It’s a fluid balance between heavy rock and progressive metal Terras
Paralelas make in the six inclusions on their debut full-length, Entre
Dois Mundos. The Brazilian instrumentalist trio keep a foundation of
metallic kickdrumming beneath “Do Abismo ao Triunfo,” and even the
chugging in “Espirais e Labirintos” calls to mind some background in
harder-hitting fare, but it’s set against a will toward
semi-psychedelic exploration, making the giving the album a sense of
refusing to play exclusively to one impulse. This proves a strength in
the lengthier pieces that follow “Infinito Cósmico” and “Do Abismo ao
Triunfo” at the outset, and as Terras Paralelas move from the mellower
“Bom Presságio” and “Espirais e Labirintos” into the more spaciously
post-rocking “Nossa Jornada Interior” and the nine-minute-plus
prog-out title-track that closes by summarizing as much as pushing
further outward, one is left wondering why such distinctions might
matter in the first place. Kudos to the band for making them not.
