In 2016, Raleigh, North Carolina's Travis Brooks emerged with SPEAK, the debut album of his post-rock project Old Solar. It proved to be one of the year's most pleasant and exciting surprises, escaping the trappings that can sometimes befall solo artists to bring listeners a fully-formed vision that presented a mastery of attractive ambience, dramatic swells and energetic, often explosive riffing. SPEAK went on to garner strong coverage from genre-focused publications, building a great deal of anticipation for an eventual follow-up. Today witnesses the re-emergence of Old Solar, now solidified as a trio. The new record, SEE, is a thoughtful and powerful exploration of the cycle of seasons, seeking to sonically represent the many emotions, aesthetics and nuances of an ever-changing world, capturing the beautiful shadings in both the bloom and the bleak.

This is a first song premiere from Hæster's debut album 'All Anchors No Sails'. In this song Sven De Caluwé from Aborted is joining the Hæster line-up. 'All Anchors No Sails' will be available on Oct. 12th. On vinyl of course. "All Anchors No Sails is largely characterized by its thundering guitar riffs, which are propelled by precision percussion that makes all the difference. It unfolds with sometimes mathematical calculation, but it never ceases to be engaging. (...) The songs on All Anchors No Sails have an uncanny tendency to keep it straightforward enough to successfully deliver the goods while layering in nuances and textural elements that allow them to traverse an ever-expanding palette in a fashion that will undoubtedly draw in even the most discerning post-metal aficionados." — text by David Zeidler (Young Epoch) https://www.facebook.com/haesterband/ http://dunkrecords.com

This Fall Shall Cease by Lethvm is also available on vinyl. Comes on 180g gold vinyl with black splatter. Cover with spot UV, designed by David SC. Released on March 9th, 2018. http://dunkrecords.com (vinyl) http://www.facebook.com/lethvmband/ http://www.deadlight.fr (CD) http://densesrecord.tictail.com (tape) Working from the template of Doom and Sludge, Belgium's Lethvm infinitely increases the brutality with which they press their considerable weight upon the ears of listeners by introducing a raw immediacy that does not typically present itself within those genres. As their moniker suggests, Lethvm seeks to embrace the destructive possibilities of music, continually building soundscapes only to burn them down in increasingly spectacular fashion. Listeners will find traces of Powerviolence within This Fall Shall Cease's seven tracks, an important distinction which informs the extremity of the album's varying emotional peaks. Whether they are exploring rage, sadness, the darkness or even occasional glimpses of beauty, Lethvm does so with a snarling intensity which cloaks them with an aesthetic of danger that we are rarely lucky enough to observe. Looking into a moment from the penultimate track “An Encounter With The Sun,” the performance toward the end of the song seems to reveal a willingness, even a desire on the band's behalf to demolish their respective instruments; to erode their vessels for the opportunity to crush listeners and raze their own creation in the interest of pushing an emotional envelope that is as breathtaking as it is volatile. This instance could indeed be characterized as “subdued” in comparison to other spots throughout the album, so be prepared to listen with clenched teeth and fists. A savage rhythm section and tortured screams collide with soaring riffs in a way that is brilliantly jarring, forcing the listener to grapple often with whether they should stomp the ground beneath them in anguish or raise their heads and bellow victoriously toward the heavens. The ability to do both over the course of individual compositions is what gives This Fall Shall Cease an uncommonly precious value.
