Sonance
Bristol, United Kingdom
For fans of:
Thou, This Will Destroy You, Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Sonance play a tempered mix of crushing sludge metal compounded with carefully arranged minimal movements verging on modern classical or post-rock. This band goes beyond the down-tuned dissonance of sludge metal, beyond the incessant pounding of doom, to create some of the heaviest music I've ever laid ears on. Both sides of the Like Ghosts LP, at its heaviest, sound like an old warehouse full of high powered industrial machinery tearing itself apart. The more minimal arrangements between the sludge sections do so much with so little. Sonance choose not to add layer upon layer to build to a crescendo, but rely on simple, beautiful chord progressions and their relationship to the sounds around them to create an emotional, yet distant feeling, one I hadn't heard before or since Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
