Album Review by Sovereign

I met this band some months ago because of a live performance with the post-rock legends Mono
and a split release with drone doom masters Nadja. This is Josh Graham’s project and is related with Battle of Mice, Neurosis, Red Sparowes, Blood & Time, Unsane and Tombs. They record for Neurot Recordings, the label of Neurosis. Joel Hamilton (guitar, wurlitzer, modular synthesizers), Nerissa Campbell (vocals), Jarboe (vocals), Lydia Lunch (spoken word), Carla Kihlstedt (theremin vocals and violin) and Marika Hughes (Cello) are some guests for this album. The music is truly atmospheric and the attitude is post and meta-modern. Their music is really close to Neurosis’ atmospheric parts and Isis’ post era points. Fantastic metal sounds and dark ambient bridges. I am a huge fan of post-metal legends like Neurosis, Isis, Cult of Luna, Pelican etc and I really like experimental joints in metal music, so I think this band could win a great place in my discothèque and in my heart. I am quite sure they already try to gain those. They worth it and their music is step by step, better and better. There is no bad ‘Neurot’ release, so what you are waiting for. Join!
