I’m always impressed with this band’s to completely stroll the tightrope of acquainted and recent. This sounds just like the final, for example, fifteen years of the band whereas sounding not like something they’ve performed earlier than. One other epic and darkish report.

Now, how about some prog with some actual heft to it? Navene, Chaney, and Evan are bringing the heavy complexity as soon as once more. At all times a delight to listen to this a lot bass popping/slapping/plucking on a steel report.

In maintaining within the theme of darkness and chaos, I provide the newest EP from .gif from god. These six tracks cowl quite a lot of floor and it is hardly ever enjoyable floor. It additionally opens with a monitor titled with a Simpsons reference, in order that received my consideration.

Haken – Fauna

Style: Progressive steel/rock
Origin: London, England
Label: InsideOut

With OG keyboard participant Pete Jones again within the band, Haken are getting bizarre and animalistic. There are references to animals all through, and you’ll even ear some from discipline recordings of some that Jones made. Whereas they’re together with some R&B influences and ambient soundscapes, followers of basic prog ought to give “Elephants Never Forget” a shot. It seems like a manic King Crimson/Dream Theater mashup. Chad‘s evaluate is right here.

You already know I really like a band that is a ache to nail down, so I am digging this one from Sandrider fairly a bit. This has a Torche melodic stoner rock to it and plenty of noise rock blended in. Then there are simply so many RIFFS.

Extra riffs? Temptress received you. This seems like if Helms Alee slowed issues down much more and received actually into 70’s laborious rock. A really cool debut.

Witch Ripper – The Flight After The Fall

Style: Sludge steel

Magnetic Eye are a label that I’ve realized I can belief. They concentrate on smoky jams in a single style or one other, so you may traditional guess what you are entering into, however god dammit they’re normally nice. The Flight After The Fall is a report of artfully written sludgy doom that is precisely what I would anticipate from Magnetic Eye. Not mad about it in any respect both. That is like outdated Baroness blended with The Sword and it…properly, it rips.
