Adam.

No. Not my brother. Not the second eater of the apple.  Well, on second thought....it may be reference to Adam of the "...and Eve" variety. Either way, it's not him. So, let's focus on who it actually is.

Adam is a prog band that hails from Greece. From what I can find, they only have one EP from 2016 titled, "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil." and one full album released this year, (2020), titled "SUN".

The EP has three tracks. Would you like to guess the track titles? If you guessed as follows, then you win the internet for today:
1. See No Evil
2. Hear No Evil
3. Speak No Evil

This EP is high energy and really pretty raw. Everything you want from a good stoner metal band. There's  a pretty strong QOTSA vibe for the first two tracks. Then in track three, for the first two thirds, we get some quality "Saucer Full Of Secrets" era Floydian atmospheric soundscape and delicious spacey guitars before the groovy jam comes in.

Below is the YouTube video of the full EP.



The album "SUN" is full length. In this one, they took that spacier element from "Speak No Evil" and really ran with it. The QOTSA vibe seems to have dissipated into a more polished blend of Tool, Alice In Chains and The Deftones. It's still a weighty album, but there is a lot more atmosphere. The vocals here are, what I think, would happen if Jerry Cantrell tried fill in for Chino Moreno.
Of the two albums, I personally like this one better. It's got a good "Dim the lights, sit your ass down, hit play, then don't move for the next 40 minutes cause you're about to go on a journey" feel.

Check it out here.
Take care.
