Autumn’s Dawn – Autumn’s Dawn

April 23, 2014 by Jan F. Lindsø Leave a Comment

a3046429581_101. A Reflection In Dust
2. The Frozen Soil
3. The Death Of Hope

The two man band Autum’s Dawn came to life in 2013, while Anguish was playing session live guitar for Sorrow’s solo project Germ for some selected shows in Australia. The band claim that their debut EP was recorded in just a few days late 2013, and describes it as a brief, raw and honest take on the genre of Depressive Black Metal.

A lot of you are probably already familiar with Sorrow’s work in other great DSBM acts such as Austere and Woods of Desolation, and music wise I guess fans of these bands won’t get dissapointed. Even though the band labels their music as DSBM, I would say that they also corporates a lot of post metal into their soundscapes. All songs are really well woven together into a complete euphoric experience, but I must say that ‘The Frozen Soil’ really stands out as my favorite.

All in all, a release that works well as a promising teaser for their first full length album!

Dirge – Hyperion

March 25, 2014 by Jan F. Lindsø Leave a Comment

Dirge - Hyperion1. Circumpolaris
2. Floe
3. Venus Claws
4. Hyperion Under Glass
5. Filigree
6. Remanentie

 

 

 
Dirge were formed back in 1994 in Paris, France. Their music is progressive post-metal, partly with an industrial approach. They somewhat reminds of bands such as Isis, and delivers a massive wall of slow groovy atmosphere. ‘Hyperion’ is their sixth album since the beginning, and we must say that this album is a true display of monumental power.

The album was released March 14th, 2014 on Debemur Morti.

Codes In The Clouds – Don’t Go Awash in This Digital Landscape (video)

March 5, 2014 by Jan F. Lindsø Leave a Comment

Codes In The Clouds - Paper Canyon

Paper Canyon (2009)

The English band Codes In The Clouds from Kent are playing post-rock, and we were really amazed by their debut album ‘Paper Canyon’ back in 2009. They also released another album in 2011 entitled ‘As the Spirit Wanes’.

Since then, they’ve been playing live and doing festival shows. Late last year the band posted on their Tumblr that they are currently working on an upcoming album. We are excited, and will definitely look out for it!

The band just released an official video for their song ‘Don’t Go Awash in This Digital Landscape’ to celebrate the 5th anniversary of their debut album.

Audrey Fall – Grandiose post-rock/metal from Latvia

February 19, 2014 by Jan F. Lindsø Leave a Comment

A few days ago I discovered a band playing grandiose instrumental post-rock/metal. The band was Audrey Fall from Latvia, a country which I didn’t associate with such music, until now.


Audrey Fall is a four-piece band from
Jelgava, a city in central Latvia. Usually I think that the lack of vocals makes the soundscape a bit incomplete, but with Audrey Fall I hardly notice it.  I even think that the lack of vocals, kinda improves their music, as it’s giving more room for the instruments.

– I think there’s still a lot of people that aren’t used to purely instrumental music without any vocals, so it might be a bit more challenging to appeal to that particular group of people. But for us going completely instrumental opened a lot of opportunities, vocals somehow restrict your style. We can experiment more and focus on various sounds, says Jurģis Narvils (guitarist, Audrey Fall).

Audrey Fall - Mitau

Audrey Fall – Mitau

On January 14th, 2014, Audrey Fall released their first album entitled Mitau (actually means Jelgava in German) digitally, which has received a lot of attention lately. Jurģis of Audrey Fall, also mentioned that the album will be released as a physical CD digipak sometime next month.

For touring, he has this to say:

– We’ll be playing a couple of shows in our country, but there’s currently no bigger tour planned. We’ll see how everything goes.

Anyways, we can’t wait to be seeing Audrey Fall live, and will be keeping an eye out for them. You better do the same.

Also, remember to check out their video below, which the band actually made by themselves:
