About
Structures is a Canadian metalcore band known for their intense, technical approach to heavy music. Originating from Toronto, Ontario, the group was formed in 2009 by Spyros Georgiou (guitar), Brendon Padjasek (guitar, vocals), and Andrew McEnaney (drums). They have carved a niche within the genres of metalcore, progressive metal, mathcore, and deathcore, often incorporating elements of djent and melodic metalcore into their sound. Structures gained early attention with their EP All of the Above and solidified their reputation with albums like Divided By and Life Through a Window.
How to Sound Like Structures
Structures' music is characterized by aggressive, complex rhythms and intricate guitar work. Their sound often features tight, syncopated riffs that demand precision and clarity, achievable through high-gain amplifiers and extended-range guitars. The use of polyrhythms and unconventional time signatures adds a layer of complexity typical of mathcore influences. To emulate their sonic intensity, focus on crisp, articulate distortion tones and dynamic drumming that combines speed with technical finesse. Incorporate elements like punchy bass lines that lock tightly with the drums to maintain the music's driving force. For those aiming to capture the progressive and experimental edge of Structures, layering effects such as digital delay and modulation can add depth and enhance the atmospheric elements that punctuate their compositions.
