radiatorhums Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Inter Arma follow up their universally acclaimed ‘Sky Burial’ with the epic 40+ minute one-song ‘The Cavern’ ep. Recorded during breaks from the relentless touring the band did on the ‘Sky Burial’ album with the likes of Baroness, Russian Circles and more, this new ep is the ultimate exhibition of the genius that Inter Arma have always hinted at. Unparalleled musicianship meets the soulfully deranged vocalis of Mike Paparo to create one of the most impressive pieces of metal to be released this year. Shifting from Americana laced extreme metal to doom to stoner rock to prog all within a single song, Inter Arma’s ‘The Cavern’ is an opus that will surely be heralded for years to come along the likes of Sleep’s ‘Dopesmoker’ as a work of true artistic vision and endurance.

Derek™ Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I enjoyed their last album well enough, but never got around to picking it up. That coke bottle green is mighty tempting, this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
versusexcalibur Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Awesome song played by awesome dudes. Glad this recording is seeing the light of day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 I enjoyed their last album well enough, but never got around to picking it up. That coke bottle green is mighty tempting, this time around. I picked mine up during a sale of some kind, if I remember right. I'm trying to limit my purchasing to 'essentials' right now, so I'm probably going to hold off on this until I can hear it. The fact that it's a 40 minute song intrigues me quite a bit.

whoshotthefrog Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I ordered this with a quickness. One of the few releases this year that I've been eagerly anticipating. Even without hearing this yet, I expect this album to finish in my top 3 this year. Love this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG88 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 will be ordering, but probably not til closer to the release date. no way this will sell out. not too many folks out there give this band the time of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 They are just up the road from me in Richmond, VA - deletedunknown's neck of the woods. Underwhelmed by their opening set for Russian Circles this year, but better than KEN mode - not saying much (apologies to and KM fans). Overwhelmed by the BO, yikes! Their studio work sounds better to me, but most have the opposite opinion - oh well - and with Relapse having picked them up and really hot for them, they should get better exposure than the Richmond music scene. A 40 minute opus - definitely curious about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitterhappier Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Looks like I missed the green but definitely will be picking this up at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
versusexcalibur Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Check out Bastard Sapling. 3 of the Inter Arma dudes play is Bsap. They just put out a 2XLP and it's a banger. http://shop.forcefieldrecords.org/collections/frontpage/products/bastard-sapling-instinct-is-forever-2x12-lp http://www.gileadmedia.net/releasedirectory/relic56-bastard-sapling-instinct-is-forever-lp/ kk-downing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostalgicbummer Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I really liked sky burial, like most that have commented already I'm intrigued by the length and will give this a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Here's the trailer for this. It's a bunch of clips and the song sounds like it's going to be all over the place. There's a really Pink Floyd-ish sounding part (which is what I loved about Sky Burial) and some of it sounded really mathy. Going to be an interesting song.

chuck Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 This may be a dumb question, but how will they gracefully split the song in half for the B side of the LP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Damn I missed green I just checked and green is still available. fitterhappier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonLies Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I just checked and green is still available. Wha - a few minutes ago it said out of stock... In a weird way I was kind of hoping it was sold out since I don't have the money to spend on vinyl... ahhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 This may be a dumb question, but how will they gracefully split the song in half for the B side of the LP? There might be a good point in the song to split it or it might be a slightly different version than the CD that allows for it to be divided. Jesu's Infinite is a 40+ minute track and they did a different version for the LP and split it at an appropriate time. chuck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Got my record and CD yesterday. I haven't had the chance to spin the record yet since I'm in the process of moving and my record player is packed away but I did listen to the CD. This song is pretty fucking awesome. There is a slow, mellow part in the middle. So I'm assuming that is where they split the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
