The Angelic Process...

Since their formation in 2001, The Angelic Process of have been releasing nice healthy doses of ambient drone-metal. However, for the most part the band has flown under the radar until this last year which saw the reissuing of a couple of their albums, Coma Waering and …And Your Blood is Full of Honey. It’s great to have all of this material readily available now, as some of it had been practically out of print since its original release. For any of those that are not familiar with the Athens Georgia duo, they create some incredibly loud and distorted shoegaze influenced noise. A lot of times when describing the whole shoegazing thing, it’s pretty common that the phrase “wall of noise” will turn up at some point. It’s hard not to because it really is a great description of what it sometimes resembles. As true as that may be, the phrase couldn’t be any better suited being used here with The Angelic Process. Their music is literally a gigantic wall of distorted blissful noise, although much darker and quite moody. For someone like me who is completely addicted to “fuzz”, it’s hard to not fall in love with this especially when it’s intertwined with a lethal amount of rumbling bass and pounding drums. This is shoegaze taken to a completely whole new level.

As I mentioned before, a couple of their items have been recently reissued, I would highly recommend checking out Coma Waering which can be had over at Paradigms. Also, for many of their other releases check out Decaying Sun Records. Keep on the look out for a new album from the duo in ’07.
