      I wouldn't say they're underrated. Most people into this kind of music know and enjoy PTH. It's also worth mentioning they never really did a good job of growing their sound, which kinda forced them to lose traction. Old PTH like this is still my favorite from them. Probably played this album over a hundred times lol

      I'm a very experienced prog music listener and their style is just always too "chaotic" for my taste. I listened through the entirety of Palimpsest and while there were neat parts I just felt like it was stimulation overload the whole time. I find that I appreciate music with some space here and there. I keep trying these guys out because I hear great things, but... Maybe it's just a matter of not matching my preference in sound.

A lot of these style of bands just always keep the dial at 11 the whole time or are so all over the place within one song that I can't find an identity for a particular track. Often there's simply no space or groove in the song. And personally, I need some groove and space to really enjoy the journey of a track. For me, this song has just enough groove and cyclical sound structure that I'm totally on board with it.

    Long time Protest fan, some fun facts:
    -When they wrote Kezia (first major-label album), they wrote the music before they could actually play it; they had to learn how to play that fast. They were under 18 at the time.
    -The bassist from this song (Arif), left the band after their 4th album (Volition) to compose for theatre and pursue other musical endeavors, he was the primary lyricist until this album as well.
    -They publish all their own sheet music and guitar tabs under their own publishing company, Sheet Happens

Kezia was recorded in 2004/2005.....they probably did most of the writing in 2003-2004 so i guess they wrote and recorded that album between the ages of 17 and 18?

Kinda lost touch with them after that, my tastes changed a bit, life happened etc. but I’ve been revisiting those albums and have been loving the nostalgia. But man, Fortress was so good, that album was around the time I first found Mastodon, Baroness, other bands and that whole time period in my life was such a wild period for me as I expanded my guitar playing and listening “abilities”. Kezia will always hold a special place in my heart but I can acknowledge just how improved their songwriting was by Fortress.
