Archivist is a six-piece atmospheric/post-metal band out of Europe, whose self-titled album was released digitally at the beginning of June. Alerta Antifascista Records is currently taking pre-orders for the CD version, with a double LP upcoming, set for a November release. They are currently looking for a US distributor (will add more details as they are released). From the label: "Archivist is an atmospheric metal band, incorporating shoegaze, blast beats, and post-rock into a mass of turbulent percussion and soaring melodies set against a tale of ecological disaster and the last recorded thoughts of the sole survivor. It is a story of human hubris, the end of the world, and the willingness of a child to accept the weight of our legacy."

FFO: Rinoa, Acres, Devil Sold His Soul, Cult of Luna UK-based atmospheric post-rock/post-hardcore band Echoes are releasing their debut full-length album - The Pursuit - on March 20, 2014. The group has been compared to such greats as Rinoa and Devil Sold His Soul, and the album is nothing less than breathtaking. The shortest track clocks in at about 4 and a half minutes, while the longest, the cathartic roller-coaster closer, is a colossal 8 minutes in length. The vinyl version of the album is on clear vinyl limited to only 40 copies worldwide. "Every song maintains just the right amount of variation and contrast between the heavy and light elements that make Echoes so unique. The seemingly effortless blend of post-rock and hardcore genres make the group something truly exceptional and worthwhile. The Pursuit is an intense record that does not spend any time wasting time." -Hit the Floor "With over an hour of music, ‘The Pursuit’ is one hell of a journey. It’s simply gargantuan in epic-ness, like a soundtrack to a hugely emotive movie with a unique take on melodic beauty and dynamics." -Rockadia Listen to the full album now on Already Heard: http://alreadyheard.com/post/80164016245/exclusive-album-stream-track-guide-echoes-the#.UytxqYdOXIV Pre-order here: http://www.weareechoes.com/preorder/
