ancestors-

mogwai

This is all I listened to last year. Literally.
young team
come on die young

2 birds...

So I haven't posted something in a while, mainly because...well, fuck it, I don't even know. Anyway here are 2 different releases by 2 different bands I've only recently bothered to check out.

First:


Rosetta is a band that I should've listened to way earlier, given my worship of bands such as Neurosis and Isis (Neurisis lolol) and Rosetta being bang in the middle of them, in terms of their music. The Galilean Satellites has an epic theme: the satellites of Jupiter (as the astronomers among you may have deduced). The interesting thing about this album is that it was released as a 2-disc record, one disc with the crushingly heavy stuff and the other with the much softer, ambient stuff. This is an obvious homage to Neurosis's Times of Grace (and Tribe of Neurot's Grace), one of my favourite albums ever. The link is both the discs put together, as I believe that is how it's meant to be played and you will enjoy it far more.

Next:


Here we have Torche, a relatively new sludge band. Meanderthal is an amazing album, that has all of the "crush" that so many of us are familiar with when it comes to sludge, as well as melody, harmony, clean vocals and rhythms. Don't worry, it's still very, very heavy but also incredibly groovy.

Panopticon-Isis

This album is huge and just so happens to be my favourite Isis album. Some beautiful post-metal/atmospheric melodies as well as crushing sludge passages are in this monumental piece of work.

Minsk's latest

With Echoes In The Movement Of Stone by Minsk



Here's Minsk's newest album, which I'm digging a lot. There's a lot of that atmospheric, doom-y stuff going on but the cool thing is that it also harkens to the sludge side of the band, most apparent in the opening track "Three Moons". The atmosphere on this album is great, very dark and foreboding. I'd like to think of the band as unique, which they are, but the Neurosis influences just kick you in the face (not a bad thing at all, btw). The album's a slow burner, I'll tell you that so it'll probably be a while before I fully appreciate it. Anyway, it's greatly recommended so get it.

Isis

Wavering Radiant by Isis


Isis is one of my favourite bands. The first album I got was Panopticon and after it completely blew me the fuck away, I decided to get all of their albums and monitor their sound's
progression from Celestial to In The Absence Of Truth and I've never been disappointed, although it took me a while to fully appreciate the record. Their latest album, Wavering Radiant, was quite puzzling when I first got it, what with the overwhelming amount of post-rock passages and whatnot. Still, I've listened to it a couple of times and it's quickly growing on me. Check it out, and leave comments.

Kick-off with Minsk

So, without any further ado, the first post shall be Minsk-The Ritual Fires Of Abandonment. This band from Illinois has recently been grabbing everyone's attention with their brand of very Neurosis-like sludgy post-metal.Taken from their last.fm: "Minsk is an eclectic experience of passion, aggression, rhythm, noise, and trance. The music is as organic as it is other-worldly, infusing the rhythms of the earth and the resonance of the human voice with the synthetic sounds of machines, amplifiers, and effects".

Artist:Minsk
Album:Ritual Fires Of Abandonment
Genre:Post-metal/sludge
Label:Relapse Records
