Leprous and Sleep Token collab
Okay hear me out but I think this would be the most amazing idea ever. Leprous with their softer tones and Sleep token with a gruffer sound, but Vessel’s smooth baritone uuuugh
You enjoy prog for its complicated time signatures and instrumental virtuosity. I enjoy prog for its potential as theater kid music. We are not the same.
this the same fucking dude who sang ænema
Run like the Devil.
pain remains 1: dancing like flames - lorna shore // the apparition - sleep token
NEW DEVIN TOWNSEND IS COMING!!
Eden in Reverse
Hail Spirit Noir
(Preorder/Upcoming)
Looking forward to the newest release from Greece's psychedelic black metal wizards Hail Spirit Noir, to be released June 19th from Agonia Records. Two tracks have been released so far, with the second featuring guest vocals from Borknagar's Lars Nedland (who released a fabulous album last year).
So far the tracks have leaned heavily towards prog, capitalizing on the bands kooky, ethereal capabilities. The insane spiraling synth of The First Ape on New Earth is simultaneously creepy and beautiful, with the guitars following suit. And the soft clean vocal work hides an undertow of foreboding that permeates the track.
Nedland's vocals work wonderfully on Crossroads, a perfect match of progressive musical beauty. The track might have almost fit in on Borknagar's last album, but yet not at all, with HSN injecting their usual infectious strange into the track.
I've definitely enjoyed the teasers, but really look forward to getting to hear the whole thing, as HSN are one of those bands where the whole album is simply an experience unto its own.
----The album is available for preorder, though depending on your location you may not want to preorder physical copies from Agonia Records' Bandcamp page, as shipping is rather hefty. You may check local record distributors for your home country, and it also looks to be available on at least the American Amazon store as well, depending on where you shop. -----
