Bump

Found some good, groovy post-metal. Doesn't hit you over the head with riffs, but it was interesting enough to keep me listening. Like a heavier L'Effondras. https://tesa.bandcamp.com/album/c-o-n-t-r-o-l

Second press is now up!

No Clearance >>> Life in Cycles. Admittedly I haven't listened to the new one yet, though. The pacing is all over the place. I think that's why I can't get into it. Wildwood and Collapser are awesome, even the two tracks with vocals are fine, but everything else is really underdeveloped. Almost seems to me like they just threw a bunch of leftover riffs and ideas together and called it a day.

Gotta admit, I thought you'd be all over it. Have to agree that Whale Fall was a nice surprise, though - I thought their last two releases were very average but the new one is huge. Caspian has had no staying power for me, sadly.

New Barrens album is phenomenal. First great post-rock release of the year. If you haven't heard it yet, fix that.

Literally just bought that Old Solar album last week, what are the odds haha

Black Clouds was so freaking good. Just listened to both of their albums back-to-back and I'm left wondering why it's so hard for bands these days to pick up the slack. (With all due respect to the good post-rock bands still out there -- there are plenty.)

Hi guys, just cleared some junk out of my messages so you should be able to pm me now! I still have all of these. Counterparts variant is black, see details in OP.

I have been pretty bad at responding to messages over the past few months, but I'm home now (like everyone else), so if you see something you want shoot me a note. Corona bump.

New Wake album, "Devouring Ruin" out today. Just finished my first run-through and it's pretty incredible. Think Abigail Williams meets Converge.

Matching each variant with a different artwork is so cool. Grabbed the cc exclusive last night but kinda wish I'd gotten the good fight monochrome -- that's gonna look awesome.

Didn't Arctic Drones close up shop last summer? Might have even been before that. It was definitely the best post-rock/instrumental blog out there. No idea what happened but they just stopped posting and it looks like the website is public domain now. I mostly just browse the relevant tags on Bandcamp and the wherepostrockdwells YouTube for new stuff. Heavy Blog is Heavy is probably my favorite online music review/blog site. @dawhizz

Really solid band. Their first album is just as good.
