There are many album widely considered like masterpieces of progressive rock, however you may not know that “Unfolded Like Staircase” by DISCIPLINE. is world renowned with a cult following since its release in 1997.
DISCIPLINE. formed in 1987 in Detroit Michigan, a far cry from progressive rock music. The band had been writing progressive rock music thinking that their music was extremely niche and unique until touring with ECHOLYN and ANEKDOTEN in both the US and Europe.
“Unfolded Like Staircase” is complex with all of the details to excite any progressive rock enthusiast. The music is dramatic and takes the listener on a roller coaster ride with shifting moods which makes this album beautiful in composition and listening experience.
DISCIPLINE. is:
- Paul Dzendzel / Drums
- Mathew Kennedy / Bass guitar
- Chris Herin / Lead guitar
- Matthew Parmenter / Vocals and keyboards
Sonic Perspectives collaborator Richard Reyes took the time to interview Matthew Parmenter and talks about the band and this album which has been out of print and now getting much loved attention from producer Terry Brown (Rush, Jimi Hendrix, Fates Warning) and the band as they re-master and re-release this album. Matthew spoke at length about the music, the bands early day theatrics and his nickname, The Magic Acid Mime and announces a new album in the works!
