| Description: | Die in Portland, Oregon, ansässige Band VINTERSEA wird von der in Malaysia geborenen Sängerin Avienne geleitet, deren Stimmumfang von eindringlichen Melodien bis zu heftigen Growls reicht. Sie liefert schwere, emotional kraftvolle und technisch faszinierende Musik, die zweifellos von der Majestät des amerikanischen pazifischen Nordwestens inspiriert ist. Das Debüt hie� "The Gravity Of Fall" aus dem Jahr 2017, aufgenommen von Justin Phelps (The Mars Volta, Joe Satriani) und gemischt von Evan Sammons (Last Chance To Reason). No Clean Singing bezeichnete die Band als "dynamisch und genre-biegsam", während Invisible Oranges die Mischung eines "skandinavischen Geschmacks mit einem deutlich pazifischen Sound, der an Agalloch und andere progressivere Stimmungen erinnert" lobte. Diese Kombination ist auf Illuminated, dem zweiten Album der Gruppe (und dem Debüt von M-Theory Audio), das von Gabe Johnston (Idle Hands) entwickelt und gemischt und von Troy Glessner (Devin Townsend, Intervals) gemastert wurde, in vollem Umfang präsent. Mit dem Cover von Xenoyr aus Australiens Ne Obliviscaris verfeinert VINTERSEA ihren überzeugenden Stil. - Vinyl LP pressing. Fronted by Malaysian-born singer Avienne, whose vocal range spans from haunting melodies to fierce growls, the Portland, OR-based Vintersea delivers heavy, emotionally powerful and technically intriguing music that is undeniably inspired by the majesty of America's Pacific Northwest. The group's self-released 2017 debut The Gravity Of Fall - recorded by Justin Phelps (The Mars Volta, Joe Satriani) and mixed by Evan Sammons (Last Chance To Reason) - was hailed by No Clean Singing as "dynamic and genre-bending," while Invisible Oranges praised the band for mixing a "Scandinavian flavor with a distinctly Pacific sound reminiscent of Agalloch and other more progressive moods." That combination is present in full force on Illuminated, the group's sophomore album which was engineered and mixed by Gabe Johnston (Idle Hands) and mastered by Troy Glessner (Devin Townsend, Intervals). Featuring cover art by Xenoyr of Australia's Ne Obliviscaris, the album finds Vintersea further refining their compelling style of extreme progressive metal with elements of black, death and post-metal.Limited to 250 copies according to sticker and Bandcamp (label webpage says 300). |
