Comes out March 18th! Pre-order here: http://pillowscars.bigcartel.com/product/tellusian-collision-lp-pre-order
(the distros that carry their Scania 7" will probably have this as well, if you want to save on shipping)

 

Preview two tracks here: http://tellusian.bandcamp.com/album/collision

 

 

Excerpts from reviews:

 

"Having had the pleasure of immersing myself in the entire record courtesy of the band, I can assure you it’s potently mindblowing metal of the highest uncategorizable eclectic order. Keep a watch, Collision is coming, and you don’t want to miss it." - No Clean Singing

 

"Within two minutes, they accomplish more than most bands attempt in a whole album. It must be rewarding to know how much is rammed into these intense, complex compositions. This is thickened, concentrated grind, not a snare crack out of place, not a vocal expulsion mid-fired. Getting your head round this in one listen is simply not possible. It strides up to you, all prepared rage and knowing exactly what it wants to say, demanding, nay, screaming repeated listens." - ninehertz

 

"Collision is all about several styles usually not correlated with each other smashing together into a one fused, cohesive entity that, despite its short length will force you into a state of schizophrenic shock. It’s not that the album drags you through some type of jumbled mish-mash of dissonance and noise, because it boasts extremely cohesive songwriting despite the progressive and ambitious nature of the music, it’s more that Tellusian are able to fit everything, and the kitchen sink, into an album full of one to three minute tracks. Ten tracks; roughly twenty-six minutes. You do the math." - The Metal Observer

 

 

Thanks for reading!

Awesome review here: http://www.nocleansinging.com/2014/03/17/tellusian-collision/

 

"Tellusian defy categorization and cliches at every turn. 'Collision' is an album stuffed with endless surprises and unpredicatablely structured rewarding music. It’s a calculated ode to creativity that breaks all the rules and in doing so offers up something memorable."

 

 

British people can pick it up from SuperFi Records: http://superfirecords.limitedrun.com/.../526505-tellusian...

German? No problem! BIS AUFS MESSER Recordstore will have some early next week.


Americans, these distros should have the LP next week or so: Deathwish, Ebullition, Howling Mine, Robotic Empire and Stickfigure.

 

 

Thanks!

Dead Rhetoric gave Collision an 8.5/10!

 

"- Despite its potential to come across as an abomination of random influences and experimentation, Tellusian embraces its influences and combines them into a creation far greater than the sum of it’s parts.  In fact, it’s this continual unexpected nature that Collision diverges and returns to that turns it into a rewarding listening experience."

 

 

German/European kids can now pick up both Tellusian records from Core Tex in Berlin!

"If you are a fan of rough and intelligent music that demands your attention, this is your album. An over the top, compact and focused attack by one of the most talented metal bands around. You heard it here first!"

The Sludgelord had some very nice things to say!

"Rarely has there been a record where, words fail me and I have only given you a taste of what is in store for you on this record, yet the more intricate things get, the more I struggle to summarise how brilliant it is. What is apparent however is the application of the compositions are seamless. Tellusian flex their angular muscles throughout this record. Tellusian is a monstrous musical beast, formed from many different elements, yet it is seams structured, albeit in a weird tangential manner. For me, this record is one of the best I have heard this year. If you want to something fresh, innovative and jaw dropping, that incorporates elements of progressive, death, grindcore and sludge metal, then look no further that this monster. Put simply, comply or die!"

TELLUSIAN Collision (Pillowscars) LP $13.98

"First full length from these Swedish metalheads, after a 7" we reviewed a few lists back that kicked our asses, and like that 7" Tellusian, featuring members of late great grinders Crowpath, while still plenty grindy, are way more melodic metal, and it totally suits them. The songs heavy and furious and fast, but crazy catchy, epically hooky.
A long time ago, we reviewed a grind comp, and on it, a seriously sick grind band did a cover of an old track by pop punks Propaghandi, a it was the best, an impossible fix of incredible poppiness, and frantic heaviness, and we remarked, how come bands don't just SOUND like that, it's only when a band is doing a cover of another band, but that's the first thing we thought of when we heard these guys, and this record especially, it's exactly THAT, a super heavy grind metal band, not at all afraid of melody, who manage to merge those two elements seamlessly, without taking away from either. Check out opener "Rivalry", a sub two minute blast of everything that makes these guys so great, frenzied lightning fast riffing, impossibly chaotic mathed out drumming, loads of metallic chug, but killer harmonized guitars, crazy catchy melodies, a little churning downtuned doom, and heck even an extremely brief bit of (very) surprising almost funk bass, literally a second or two, before it's right back into the chug and churn. And it continues like that, dizzyingly flitting from tangled math metal, to churning metallic grind, to soaring melodic epicry, and usually some killer mix of all of those. But for a metal/grind band, the melodies and arrangements are pretty goddamn stunning, and the sound not as grind or metal as you might expect, instead, almost like a metallized noise rock band, or a super heavy, slightly grindy math rock band, so much so, that with a slight tweak, even with a proper clean singer, it would be a whole different kind of band, but as it is, Tellusian deliver some seriously addictive, and ultra catchy pop flecked, melodic grind metal, that KILLS, and that we've been listening to pretty much nonstop since we got this in. WAY recommended!"
