post rock

Storytelling is the great, albeit fading, American pastime. It predated writing and in many instances, was told in song. In modern times, many musicians have approached their music from a storytelling point of view: Dylan, Springsteen and Waits to name a few

Chicago's Americana metal outfit, Huntsmen, are carrying the torch for heavy bands to be added to that list and have announced their signing to Prosthetic Records.
 

Argonauta Records is thrilled to welcome in the family, Eindhoven's next big thing An Evening With Knives, a mesmerizing, imposing wall of sound, blurring the boundaries between post-metal, psychedelic rock and doom metal.

Since the release of their self-titled debut EP in the summer of 2015, this energetic three-piece have made quite an impression sharing the stage with acclaimed acts like Corrosion Of Conformity, Truckfighters, Elder and Steak no.8.

With an ever-growing fan base due to performances at Eindhoven's cult venue De Effenaar, the illustrious Incubate Festival in Tilburg and Belgium's Roadkill Festival for instance, standalone shows have regularly sold out in 2016.

Mesmerizing post-metal outfit Junius have announced a west coast tour in support of their highly-acclaimed latest album, “Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light”.

Post-Metal outfit Junius are back with their first new material in over three years with the full-length album “Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light” (ERAL) due out on March 3rd, 2017!

“ERAL” marks the completion of their conceptual trilogy which began in 2009 with their evoking LP “The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist”, depicted by Rolling Stone as “a perfect hybrid of Neurosis and The Smiths” followed by 2011's “Reports From the Thresholds of Death”. Junius' latest release, the critically acclaimed 2014 EP “Days of the Fallen Sun”, was lauded by Pitchfork as their “strongest and most sensuous work to date”.

Swedish emotion-driven, post-rock/metal newcomer act Antarktis has signed a record deal with Agonia Records.

The group features two full-time members of In Mourning, who instead of entertaining the fact of being labeled as a side project, decided to dedicate their time & venture off into a territory uncharted by their mother band. Said members are guitarists Björn Pettersson and Tobias Netzell (ex-October Tide), both co-founders. In Antarktis, they're accompanied by vocalist and bassist Daniel Jansson (Ikhon) together with drummer Jonas Martinsson (Me The Tiger, Necrosavant). The band is currently working on a debut album.

Over the course of the last seven years, Bay Area’s King Woman have crafted a sound thoroughly their own – a sound that harnesses the elastic textures and temporality of drone and metallic shoegaze alongside the transcendental, melancholic power of doom.

Their forthcoming full-length “Created in the Image of Suffering” (due out February 24th, 2017, via Relapse Records), picks where their debut EP (“Doubt”; 2014, Flenser) left off while expanding on their sonic palette with a profoundly crafted opus of dirgey, ethereal doom-rock.
