jhulud Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 In all the hulabaloo over the TA/PBTT split, this may get lost in the stacks. "Early Frost" by Heiress is a grim and discordant artistic journey into the cold soul of the Pacific Northwest. Recorded by renowned engineer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Seaweed, etc), "Early Frost" opens with the airy post-everything beast "All Ruins" and immediately sets an ominous tone (think Enslaved covering Slint). Wasting no time, Heiress then dive deep into the awe inducing title track "Early Frost". A beautifully haunting song filled with delicate melody and hair raising emotion. Songs like the unforgettable "Beyond Fevering" and eery "Splintering" continue this sonic exploration, experimenting with cryptic vocal stylings before unfurling true sonic power. All of first level observations aside, what is so refreshing is just how non-metal and unpredictable Heiress are, while they carry such a foreboding collective soul. Heiress melodiously twist when other artists would predictably turn up the volume. For example in the stunning track "Again, Before" Heiress masterfully introduce a pan flute, where other artists would inject a stereotypical guitar solo. After nine mesmerizing tracks, we are led through the darkness to the epic closer "Bolt and Tomb", a song which opens with thirty seconds of hypnotic percussion, building to a crescendo of truly glacial proportions. "Early Frost" from Heiress is an essential experience for those who are searching for substance in today's heavy music world. TRACK LISTING:01. All Ruins02. Early Frost03. Damaged New Wind04.

Derek™ Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Haters will hate, but I'll openly admit that I grabbed this the moment it went up, last night, and intentionally skipped the PBTT / TA split. What now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Jumped on this one. I absolutely loved the Naysayer 7". Got big expectations for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ordered this and the Touche Amore split. I'm actually looking formward to this release more than the TA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Got this in finally. Took me long enough to order it. It's a ripper. I can't recommend it enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Did you only order one copy, Juan? How long did you wait to place your order? I ask because I purchased mine the minute they were available. One copy, and it's a translucent red. I figured it'd take a while for that variant to sell out, since there's hardly any buzz or promotion for Heiress. I'm actually surprised you didn't receive it.

jhulud Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 I ordered it last week. Friday I think. And just one and it was just that green color to choose from. I dragged my feet on it. Oh well. Solid release nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Agreed. I like that shade of green, either way. And assuming it sounds identical to mine, I'm sure you're well aware of how it delivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Agreed. I like that shade of green, either way. And assuming it sounds identical to mine, I'm sure you're well aware of how it delivers. Of course! It's all good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
