(Andy Synn takes a look at the new album from Brazilian Prog-Death dynamos Piah Mater, out now)
We are, each of us, the sum total of many different things.
I am both my father and my mother, and through them their parents, grandparents, and so on, down through the years.
At the same time, I am also the totality of my choices, my experiences, and a variety of unpredictable epigenetic factors which combine to form my sense of “self”.
But we are also, all of us, more than these things.
As are Piah Mater.
