If you have never heard of the Long Island artist, Eric Francis, I can absolutely say without a doubt that you are missing out.

Just a short few weeks ago, on August 28th, Francis had released his 5th studio LP “Under A Fake Sky” and not only is he helping to push progressive metal further into the spotlight, he is reinventing what it mean’s to be a one man band.

His incredible talent and dedication exhibited in “Under A Fake Sky” is entirely visible and this solo project is one that you shouldn’t sleep on.

Francis’ ability to interweave contrast between heavy and light musical elements into the entire LP has subtly transformed my expectations for this genre and had instilled some excitement towards what to expect from Francis moving forward.

Some of my favorite tracks from the LP include the title track “Under A Fake Sky,” as well as “Metamorphosis” and of course “Recurring Failure.”

That shouldn’t go without saying that the rest of album is incredibly well done and every single track below could considered my favorite.

Tracklist:
1. Metamorphosis
2. Duality
3. Secret Weapon
4. Sanctuary
5. Under A Fake Sky
6. Recurring Failure
7. Flashback
8. The Optimist
9. Blackout
10. Dead End
11. End of an Era
