Just heard this on Metalbirb’s channel last night. I generally find him corny, but decent at recc’ing new music, and He absolutely nailed this one. Hype is entirely warranted, can’t wait for the EP.
It’s funny you mentioned Dredg. I was thinking about them today for who knows why and was depressed by the thought that a new album is never actually going to happen. I can’t believe how hard they fell off after Catch Without Arms.
I actually listened to the first song on that album after I posted, and realized Terry Date of Deftones fame produced. There’s definitely some magic on that album that never got recaptured unfortunately.
I still believe it'll happen eventually. Just happy Mark is still busy with Black Map even if it's not the same thing This rules. I'm reading that Matt Goldman worked on their debut... I'm intrigued (wish Underoath would go back with him)
i dm dino from dredg here and there, super super nice and genuine guy. i think the new album is coming in like a songs of a lost world way haha but at the very least all the clips they posted of it did sound great and miles better than the last album. gavin still sounds amazing
Crazy, this is some people’s version of Chinese Democracy, lol. They’re older stuff never fully clicked for me but these singles are great, I’m looking forward to it.
Almost as long as the gap between the last two Tool albums then? Crazy but relieved it's finally coming out
This band is my favorite new prog discovery this year. Very progmetal in the vein of Leprous, Vola, Caligula's Horse. Super tight structures and really well written melodies, with ultra slick production. Mostly clean vocals. Highly, highly recommended from me.
oh cool that's finally out. I liked the first single they released a year ago but then checked out when I realized they were all going to be on the album
I should've done that, I wore out 6 of the 7 (!) singles, so this is more like a compilation with 4 new songs to me. I get it though, they're a new band, and really had to push singles to try and get some momentum built for the release.
since there's no dedicated thread I could find for em I guess I'll post here that I've been on a huge King Crimson kick recently. tried to get into them in high school and bounced right off but it all clicked recently and I'm obsessed now Larks Tongues in Aspic might be my favourite at the moment, heater after heater on that album
Just a reminder to everyone this EP is out today. Feels much more post-rock/metal with very limited vocals, but that's a-okay because the songs sound... massive doesn't quite do it justice, but bigger than massive.
Yeah, I enjoyed it. Definitely less vocals than I was expecting, but still very nice work. I'm assuming they'll release another EP that will eventually make a whole album. I'm cool with that.
this entire EP was fantastic. i loved the "like the fourth wall" intro that built straight into the song. was not expecting that. this band has been one of my shocking relevations this year. incredibly talented, and given how strong the singers voice is, i hope to hear more singing on future releases.
Yeah I meant to post this yesterday. I was enjoying it pretty well then I hit “And You Came With Searing Light” and I was floored. Still haven’t made it all the way through, but absolutely loving what I’ve heard so far. A great mix of influences. The proggy sludge like Mastodon comes through at times, the post-rock/metal like The Ocean, and some Tool-esque riffs and grooves makes for a really nice package.
