The scales of my innocence fall from my eyes
I drift onwards, up past the clouds
Horizon receding, the soul of my past
Stares back at my world, disavowed
Before me reality bends on a curve
Eternity boldly unfurling
Galactic collective, celestial orbs
The cosmos spreads out cross the void
Eternity judges my deeds from afar
Victories minute at the scale of a star
All I desire within reach of my grasp
Beyond the next horizon
Only On

about
Explosive manifestations of heavy prog and post-doom are waiting to be discovered in ARRVIER's new album Azimuth. Following the release of their 2020 single "Holy Glow", Azimuth sees the Chicago based ARRIVER doubles down on an expansive, experimental approach.
The music on this album and its story were largely created under pandemic conditions in states of chaos and dislocation. Azimuth reflects these circumstances. Opening with "Reenactor", the protagonist comes to terms with their actions and faces the corruption of their legacy. Immersive textures with a touch of dissonance bring to life the complex and contradictory moods that run through the track. Dominant bass, demonic harsh vocals and soaring melody deliver a dynamic soundscape. Wrestling with complex emotions, ARRIVER portrays the darker side to the human experience without the neat and tidy resolution. "None More Unknown" reveals that while in many respects the protagonist emerges victorious, their demons cannot be evaded, and the personal sacrifices are not worth the obtained gains. The vastness of sound and balance of light and dark results in a profound conclusion.
ARRIVER fuse heavy tones with progressive composition and differing instrumental textures to produce a captivating experience. The quartet artfully depict their haunting tale with such deep feeling; in Azimuth they unveil the shadowy gloom.
ARRIVER is:
Joe Kaplan - drums, percussion
Dan MacAdam - electric guitar, 12 string electric guitar, backing vocals
Dan Sullivan - vocals, electric guitar, baritone and acoustic guitars
Rob Sullivan - vocals, bass guitar, synthesizer

about
ARRIVER Chicago, Illinois
Chicago pan-metalists Arriver forge a rare path in their focus on long-form narrative and extreme sonic diversity, assimilating a spectrum of metal-adjacent and un-metal musics into an idiosyncratic whole. Magisterial riffage coexists with prog abstraction, bestial growls overlay kraut trance, stabs of post-hc intensity give way to soundscapes of crystalline delicacy…often within a single song. ... more

The realest, scariest, heaviest fucking shit. Who needs grease paint and fake satanism, when you can just look around at the mutilation of humanity that is the American South? Real American horror story. A fucking tragedy. Every day.

I'm very late to the party because - usually - dissodeath isn't my thing... However with Ulcerate and Panzerfaust I got closer... This is some serious opus, and I am glad that TOR is offering this for NYP... much appreciated as always!!
