Influenced by hardcore, black metal, crust, d-beat, screamo, and post-rock, the band set out to incorporate elements of each genre to articulate their message both musically and lyrically. A third member was added to the band shortly before entering the studio to record The Descent Of Man. The band plans to release two more albums, an EP and a LP, in order to complete their narrative. The band and a filmmaker are currently in the process of producing a film to visually capture the theme of The Descent Of Man. The Descent Of Man follows the creation, the evolution, and the eventual annihilation of mankind. Today, we find ourselves hoping to reverse the damage that we have done and struggling to sustain what little earth we have yet to rape repeatedly. We validate this existence with stories that justify our behavior and our role in the natural world. The promise of salvation in a land we have yet to see has clouded our judgment in a land that is right before our eyes. Industrialization, militarization, overpopulation, theism, specieism, and nihilism are regarded as evolution and progress. Our greed and ignorance have been celebrated and our past has been forgotten. We were meant to be a part of nature. We were not meant to conquer nature. We were given life and we have done everything in our power to bring death upon everything in our path, including ourselves. There will be horrifying consequences for what we have done. For man has sown contempt, man shall reap a bitter end. Let our bodies replenish this earth, for the true color of man has shown! -- http://westernworldszine.com/?p=192 http://westernworldszine.com/?p=246 http://halifaxcollect.blogspot.com/2011/01/vestiges-descent-of-man.html http://toxicbreedsfunhouse.blogspot.com/2010/10/vestiges-descent-of-man.html http://www.aversionline.com/blahg/2011/02/22/vestiges-the-descent-of-man-cd-lp-cs http://dontcountonitreviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/vestiges-descent-of-man.html http://crust-demos.blogspot.com/2010/12/vestiges-descent-of-man-demo-cd-2010.html http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/02/07/uns....iginal-editio n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vestiges Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Gold is now sold out and there are very few left in each color. Here is the latest review of the album: Formed in January 2010 as a duo, the line-up of this Washington DC four-piece has expanded along with their sound, but save announcing the existence of their album – released January and available for download, they're adamant that the music should do the talking. And it has a great deal to say.Like the changing of the seasons in a nuclear winter, 'The Descent of Man' is a bleak and unforgiving chasm of gaping post-sludge chords echoing endlessly into the darkness, flecked with the occasional rays of light which break through the ashen clouds, and clattering acidic rainfall of black metal riffs and martial d-beat drums. The anguished, hoarse vocals either the sound of the last man pleading to be taken – all of which fits nicely with their general tolling of the planet's plague bell, citing “industrialisation, militarisation, overpopulation, theism, specieisim, and nihilism” as the horseman riding out on the eve of our forthcoming apocalypse. Vestiges have such a sprawling sonic vision – reminiscent of Fall of Efrafa, Dead to a Dying World and Year of the Flood – that it deserves visual representation: yeah, they're making a film to go with it, plus two more albums, an EP and an LP to "create the narrative". Ambitiously sounding black metal-flavoured post-crust units may be the flavour of the month in beard-land, but ambitious and well executed concepts are still very much the exception. http://www.extremeresponses.com/2011/03/band-of-day-vestiges.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
