Black Sea - Somethings Cannot Be Mirrored (2010)



Post-metal from Brazil and once again, Black Sea
have produced a monument to heaviness.

The Cult of Luna seem to be quiet at the moment
and it has been up to bands like Mouth of the Architects,
Kongh or General Lee to set the standards.

But now, emerging as genuine contenders, Black Sea
(and Alaskan) are producing great works that I rate
up there with the big boys. Just as post-metal seems
to becoming stagnant or songs are produced with a
template that consists of loud/quiet, this has enough
small flourishes to stand out as something a bit
different.

If you have any interest in any of the above bands,
give this a - Listen.

Black Sea - It's All About Our Silence























Post-metal from Brazil, this has a great raw sound
mixed in with experimental, almost post-rocky
soundscapes.

Heavy guitar and pounding riffs dominate the songs
and excellent drumming combine with the vocals
which are down in the mix, so not to overpower.

I got this from Sinewave - a Brazilian blog that also
doubles as a Net Record label. Check them out for
lots of different releases - all free - they seem to
put something out every week or so - mostly
electronic/post-rock/experimental - the odd
heavy album like Black Sea.
