Wide Eye Panic - The Process By Moira K. Wiley

Wide Eye Panic’s new independently released album, The Process, starts out with a catchy riff that leads into a tune that sounds vaguely familiar. Track one’s “Undermine” is followed by “My Awakening,” another tune you feel you’ve heard before, yet you haven’t. This is because the band has put their own stamp on music influenced by notables such as Tool, Pantera, Deftones and Mudvayne. Melding the music into a sound that’s uniquely their own, this alternative metal band from Olympia, Washington strives to create their own niche in the industry.     After five years together, Wide Eye Panic now offer their fans 13 tracks of lyrical and melodic kickass fun. They have definitely developed a unique sound in the lyrics with addictive lead vocals sang by Wheeler backed up by intermittent vocals from the “screamer” Mauer. Although this might sound odd, it actually blends well when combined with melodies that can go from mellow to hardcore in the next beat of the drum or next guitar chord struck. Produced by the band with help from David Filburn, The Process is worth a listen if you’re looking for something a little familiar, but altogether unique.
