This week on Uncanny Valley, we become the galaxy brain in that brain meme by listening to the complex compositions of progressive metal. Tracks are taken from Devin Townsend's latest solo record 'Empath' as well as controversial 'transcendental black metal' band Liturgy's 2015 album 'The Ark Work'.
