Talented, complicated, heavy and progressive, those are probably the best words to describe this Honduran band. And it is G.O.D’s way of finding ways in which to take the songs and the listeners that really surprises you, because non of those are familiar or “safe” routes, they always conjure a weird but interesting tempo and flow that makes you focus more and more on each song.

Perhaps a band that sounds like G.O.D or maybe not “sounds” like these guys, but a band that shares this same original and surprising way of managing the rhythms of the songs is the famous Nevermore, Roy even sounds a little like Warrel Dane on Enemies of Reality.

G.O.D referred to their music at some point as melodic speed-thrash, and you can argue with that all you want but it is true that they mix and blend those genres, creating that unique “progg” feeling that enables the song to go places you wouldn’t imagine just by listening to a few seconds of the intro, or of the body of it.

Maybe the problem with G.O.D is their strength as well, that change of tempo, that constant change of intentions on every single riff that might eventually overwhelm you, or bored you because the songs are not “easy” to grasp, but like I said, that is also the beauty on Incandescent, the constant search for meaning and rhythm that keeps you interested and focus.

The album has some amazing guitar solos, and some overall excellent musicianship been displayed at every second, but they do commit the “typical” progg sin of overdoing some things, like extending some segments more for “display” than for “functionality” on a song and that hurts the general experience; taken as a whole Incandescent is a surprising, refreshing and genuine album that you should analyze, but please you have to give the record and the songs some time before you can reach a conclusion.
