Year of No Light - Ausserwelt (2010)


















Belgium bands follow up to "Nord".

4 tracks of post-metal but without the
angry shouty beardy man on vocals.

It still has continent shifting guitar
chords and earthquake inducing bass
and drums but it almost drifts into
heavy post-rock with delicate guitar
chimes that would fit onto a "Mono" album
and some clean feedback drone motifs
that reminded me of SubArachniod Space.

Very heavy but with dark drifting overtones,
if you ever wanted to dip your toe into the
murky water of post-metal, be brave and
give this a Listen

Year Of No Light - Nord 2006



















Post-Metal from France and this is some
heavy shit. Everything about it is crushingly
heavy but just when brown liquid is starting
to dribble from your brain out of your ears,
you start to hear really tuneful guitar riffs,
almost post-rock like passages.

They sing in French, so I have no idea what
they are shouting about but I can only make
out every 5th word in a Cult of Luna song, so
it does not detract.

I am not going to put videos up for Post-Metal
bands any more - it slows the page opening up
and more importantly, you either hate or love
this sort of stuff ..... there is no middle ground.
Do you need a clip of shouty beardy men scaring
a crowd of people to know if you like it?
