style

Vauxdvihl play atmospheric Progressive Metal on the album , which occasionally reminds of other pioneers of the genre such as Psychotic Waltz , Anacrusis , Voivod , Fates Warning or Queensrÿche . There are complexly structured pieces with psychedelic sound surfaces, many breaks and hard riffs as well as some quieter and harmonious songs. There are always surprising twists and turns in the compositions, but equally flowing transitions between the pieces.

reception

To Dimension Logic was positively received by the press back in 1994 and is now considered a progressive metal classic. Jütze from vampster praises the "impressive atmosphere, which is a perfect symbiosis of heaviness and harmony". Thorsten Gürntke from Babyblauen Seiten describes the album as "a special highlight", Michael Rensen from Rock Hard speaks of "sheer unearthly sounds". Both Rock Hard and eclipsed magazine voted To Dimension Logic sixth on their respective lists of major prog metal albums.
