Last Chance To Reason

**Last Chance To Reason** was a progressive metal band from Augusta, Maine, active in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Known for blending technical metal riffs with sci-fi themes and video game-inspired electronic elements, they carved a niche in the tech-metal scene with albums like *Level 2* (2011) and *Level 3* (2013), which tied into an actual playable video game concept. Their sound merged complex rhythms, melodic vocals, and futuristic storytelling, earning them tours with acts like Between the Buried and Me and The Contortionist. Vocalist Michael Lessard later joined The Contortionist full-time, and the band’s activity slowed after their final release, *The Divide* (2015). Their work remains a cult favorite for fans of genre-blurring metal experimentation.
