Deafheaven is back! Been curious on what direction the band would go after the response to “S U N B A T H E R”. It was after all one of the most highly rated albums across the public media. It’s actually number one on albumoftheyear.org from adding up a ton of top album of the year lists from major media sites.
But it seems they are hitting us hard with this new single. Enjoy guys!
You can preorder the album on bandcamp:

So, here’s the tl;dr: SB will release their new album Ankaa through their label Art as Catharsis in November 2015 if they meet their goal of getting $3,500 in one month. The album contains four tracks of decent length (3, 13, 10, and 8 minutes) and with epic titles (such as “Main Sequence (Dacelo novaeguineae)”. The money raised will serve to print vinyls – if that’s your thing – and surplus money will serve to fund … Read more
We know you love post-metal, so if I were to say that this is the greatest piece of this genre of music to come out this year, would you believe me? Probably not because you all probably know of that band from where you’re from that’s so much greater than any other, but Dumbsaint is a band I actually have heard about.
Panorama, in ten pieces is a soundtrack to a story told in a movie, which was also entirely made by the band. Globally, I’d say it’s post-metal, but there are post-rock moments too. The songs clearly reflect the … Read more
After their last year’s debut EP “Prologue”, Toronto-based instrumental prog once-trio now-quintet Earth’s Yellow Sun has released The Infernal Machine, a 5-part, 23 minute long prog rock song of epic proportions. After that overly complicated and long introduction sentence, let’s dig into the music.
The machine starts with a short opening segment, quickly followed by djent-influenced riffing. They don’t lose time with fancy introductions and cut straight to business. The music is heavily layered, with keyboards and saxophones taking lots of place. This isn’t anything new on the current prog metal scene, but it’s well-done enough that it doesn’t … Read more
Electro-djent band Novållo long teased us for their new material, and we finally get to hear some of it! Betty Phage Goes To Bronxton is the first single from their second album, simply titled “Novallo II” (without the å, much to our dismay). Gino teased us of his experimentation with distortion sounds, and I guess it wasn’t for nothing! The guitar sounds very processed, almost sounding like noise is coming through, but it gets the effect it sought. Also, I think I’ve never heard a swing-felt djent song, and I’m glad that this day has finally happened. In … Read more
