Premonições:Rwake-Rest

Arkansas’ backwoods doomsayers RWAKE awaken from their slumber and unleash their long-awaited new album Rest. Their first new material in over 4 years, Rest is less a set of songs than a perpetually evolving, deeply emotional set of missives heralding the end of times. Rest is nothing short of epic, and not only one of 2011’s finest albums but one of the finest progressive/doom/sludge metal records ever.

Excelente noticia (saida hoje) de uma das minhas bandas preferidas de Sludge dos ultimos anos.
Para recordar do classico Voices of Omens deixo aqui a Leviticus..e resta agora esperar até Setembro.

Dephosphorus-Axiom

Dephosphorus são um autentico cocktail molotov daqueles usados nas manifestações gregas.
Sonoridade verdadeiramente caotica e violenta onde o trio de musicos vindo de Atenas passa em revista e explora as mais variadas formas de espancamento sonoro, criando um gigantesco petardo de proporções epicas destruindo tudo á volta.
E ao falar em destruição é mesmo aquilo que se sente ao ouvir estas sete faixas que compoem o seu primeiro trabalho de nome "Axiom".
Nem chega a meia hora, mas acreditem que é tempo mais que suficiente para a banda mostrar que este Astrogrind (como definem aquilo que fazem), não está aqui para ser levando ou tratado de uma forma leviana.
Com as bases digamos vincadas nuns Converge, The Secret ou Alpinist a banda redefine as coisas e trás até si por vezes algumas das normas delineadas por bandas como Anaal Nathrakh que a nivel de violencia acabam por ser uma influencia notoria, embora sem o toque mais BM que os ingleses exploram, aqui como disse os gregos esticam mais a corda para uma especie de Hate-Core verdadeiramente filhadaputa e insano.
Faixas como a Continuum ou a Collimator (que abrem o album) têm o condão de deitar abaixo o mais fiel seguidor destas sonoridades, enquanto outras como a On the Verge of an Occurence nos levam a crer que estamos num meio de um moshpit cercados por gajos com cara de poucos amigos..
Uma formula que bem vistas as coisas poderá não ser muito original (isto no lado instrumental), mas a maneira como nos espetam este autentico Knife Missile no meio das trombas faz esquecer tudo o resto.
Como escrevi na primeira frase um cocktail que tem como ingredientes o mais violento Hard-Core atual, a nitroglicerina saida do Crust, os pregos do Grind...tudo incendiado por um rastilho de Extreme Metal que depois de ser atirado soa assim ao cair no chão:

Premonições:Wolves In The Throne Room

After devoting late Winter season to writing and recording, ambient black metal cabal Wolves In The Throne Room are in the final stages of completing their fourth full-length opus of epic, earthen Black Metal ceremony.
For over six months the Weaver brothers, Aaron and Nathan, have been immersed in the painstaking writing and recording process of their newest album, and this week the process is nearly complete, at press time the album in its final mixing stages. The clan have confirmed the title of this forthcoming astral black metal document as “Celestial Lineage”.
Stated WITTR drummer Aaron Weaver of the writing process for “Celestial Lineage”: “An ornate constellation of imagery is what that guides the songwriting process. Cedar temples crowned with burnished bronze domes glimpsed in a remote valley. Wild Midsummer bonfires and feasting on roasted flesh. All of the sounds serve to evoke the images that exist in our minds eye. With this record we’re going to explore an entirely new palette of sound. We want the instruments to sound like the liturgical music of a cedar cult".
The transmutation reaches a new level with the completion of the album. In contrast to the bleakly hypnotic architecture of “Black Cascade”, the lifespan of “Celestial Lineage” breathes more expansive and visionary life into the duo’s work. The WITTR trademark long-form approach to arrangement remains intact, but there is a stronger thread of Popul Vuh-inspired underworld synthscapes and star-lit pulse woven with the intertwining guitar figures. Celestial Lineage will end a trilogy of releases which began with “Two Hunters” (2007), and is segued by “Black Cascade” (2009), and like both previous albums, will be released via Southern Lord Recordings, with a street date of September 13th, 2011 now confirmed. Three songs on the album feature Jessika Kenney’s liturgical choir and solo voice, as heard on “Two Hunters” as well as 2009′s “Malevolent Grain” EP, the album also including orations from Aaron Turner (Isis).
Besides closing out a trilogy within WITTR’s own annals, “Celestial Lineage” also marks the final release to ever be recorded in engineering wizard Randall Dunn’s infamous Aleph Studio, the birthplace of a plethora of groundbreaking releases from Earth, Sunn O))), Boris, Cave Singers, Bjork/Omar Souleyman and countless more over the past decade, as well as where the immense tones and energy on WITTR’s lauded “Two Hunters” and “Black Cascade” albums were captured.
In support of the album, Wolves In The Throne Room will commence worldwide touring this September, kicking off in the Americas, and eventually engulfing many other regions of the planet through 2012. Stay tuned for final album details.
