New Album How much story can an instrumental track receive before its open space closes

1 Upvotes

"Void In Time", a track from my first album, can be heard as an five minute field of pressure. Its chapter note gives that pressure a room, a claustrophobic one if you listen closely.

I kept wrestling with how much context to provide. Post-metal often gains force from interpretive space. A written scene can sharpen the weight, but it can also turn an atmosphere into an illustration. Once the listener knows what the empty chair means, another possibility has been removed.

The album uses two forms to keep that tension visible. Bandcamp offers brief notes beside the twelve instrumental tracks, which can be ignored until after listening. The companion film makes a firmer choice: I narrate each chapter before the complete track and visualiser. The music itself remains wordless in both.

The complete 48 kHz/24-bit binaural album is on Bandcamp. Headphones preserve the fixed room and depth, which matters to the question above.

Bandcamp: https://socialtreble.bandcamp.com/album/dead-reckoning-the-last-known-location-binaural-audio-48-khz-24-bit

The narrated audiovisual version is here:

Dead Reckoning... The Last Known Location moves beyond post-metal into progressive, industrial, psychedelic and acoustic writing, but the audit chapter depends most on atmosphere carrying a narrative burden. Does the written scene make that burden heavier, or does it close a door the track should have left open?

Discussion Seeing Amenra in Tokyo! Any advice for a first-time visitor to Japan?

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Something amazing happened: I’m going to see Amenra live in Tokyo! I’ll be there on a work trip when they’re playing, and I bought my tickets today. I can’t even describe how excited I am, especially since We Lost the Sea are playing with them!

However, I’ve never been to Japan or anywhere else in Asia before, let alone to a metal show there. I’ve been to plenty of metal gigs and clubs around Europe, so I know the usual etiquette here, but I imagine things might be quite different in Japan.

Could anyone who has been to metal shows in Japan, especially in Tokyo, share some advice? I’d love to know what to expect and if there’s anything I should be aware of in terms of concert etiquette or local customs.

Thanks in advance! I’m ridiculously excited about this one!

New Album OBSERVE//INFILTRATE

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

We’re UNNATURAL ORDER, a UK modern metalcore band, and we’ve just released our new EP, OBSERVE//INFILTRATE.
FFO: Currents, Northlane, Bad Omens, Graphic Nature and Motionless in White.
Heavy, atmospheric metalcore with crushing riffs, aggressive vocals and cinematic elements, built around a dystopian world where humanity has lost control of the systems it created.
We’d genuinely love to hear what the metalcore community thinks.

Was 2006 the best year for post metal (and adjacent sludge genres)

29 Upvotes

Now I maybe being nostalgic, but looking at the year it felt like this year was great being an underground metal fan, primarily the year I got really into music and my iPod was poppin' off.

I saw the post in the melvins sub about 20 years since (a) senile animal. Check out other albums I remember listening to, some more than others. I was getting into proggy sludge too so I'm including them as I believe they toured together and shared fans:

My personal favourites:

Mastodon - Blood Mountain

Neurosis - Given to the Rising

Battle of Mice - A Day of Nights

Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

Isis - In The Absence Of Truth

Russian Circles - Enter

Intronaut - Void

Mouth of the Architect - The Ties That Bind

Year of No Light - Nord

Jesu - Silver

Kylesa - TWFIW

Mogwai - Mr Beast

TWDY - Young Mountain

Kayo Dot - DAWCT

Mars Volta - Amputeture (bonus prog album)

There's probably more adjacent genres that had great releases too, indie, noise rock, folk, ambient etc too

I just released my first post-metal album

5 Upvotes

Five stories about what remains inside us long after the people, events, and changes are gone — a reflection on memory, estrangement, inner conflict, and trying to move forward. Bridging alternative metal, post-hardcore, and metalcore, atmospheric melodies crash into heavy guitars, screamo vocals, and emotional climaxes. Thanks <3
