I'm Back / Llorah - Llorah EP...
Hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. I apologize for not updating basically since Wednesday. It ended up being a much busier week than I originally anticipated and it ended up leaving me pretty much exhausted for a couple nights in a row, which results in no updates for BOAWS sadly. Anyway, I am looking to get back into the swing of things for this week. I am hoping at least.
I really wish I was more up to speed with the music that is continually coming out of France because it seems like everything I manage to hear from the country, at least when it comes to harder music, is absolutely crushing. I happened to get the new Llorah EP at the beginning of last week and I have been rocking it pretty heavily since then. It was just released this past February and has been put out by the fine Atropine label which also co-released the Year of No Light album that I enjoyed so highly last year. Llorah are yet another fine example of the quality of noisy metal/rock coming out of France. The band on their debut EP play a sort of post-metal that throughout has a touch of the faster and more ferocious qualities found in noise-rock, similar to that of Breach maybe. There is plenty of rumbling low end, which I am always a fan of. One way I always distinguish that I really like something is when I am sitting listening to an album or whatever it may be and there is eventually something that just strikes me. I mean sure, I can sit through a number of albums and enjoy them, but in the end there isn’t a definitive memorable moment. However, every so often I hear a portion of a song that pretty much solidifies my liking for an album. During the song “Echos” from about the 3 minute mark to about 3:40 there is a riff that does absolutely that. All in all this is a really solid EP that is definitely worth checking out. There is a limited amount of these and they come in a really cool silk screened cardboard package.
