Great Progressive Rock

peterfrederics

This album is one of my best discoveries on EMusic. They are a great band playing consistently good music. My only regret is that us Aussies can only get two of their albums!

Their most metallic

Track 4 is an oddity. The others are the intense post-rock you expect from these guys, and worth way more than the price tag here. Greet Death is simply awesome.

Who Are…Dry the River

By Annie Zaleski, eMusic Contributor

The five members of Dry the River cut their teeth playing in punk bands in the south of England. However, even after vocalist Peter Liddle moved to London to study medicine, he never lost his passion for music; in fact, the people he turned to when it came time to record a demo were those same mates from his hardcore days. Much to the young band's surprise, things took off fast: Formed in 2009, they… more »

Who Are…Alcest

By Jon Wiederhorn, eMusic Contributor

Though he was raised in a vibrant French black metal scene, Alcest frontman Neige outgrew the rage and nihilism of the genre and strived to craft something that's just as powerful but far more beautiful. Drawing on his classical guitar training and his love for Celtic melodies and soundtrack composers, he developed Alcest, following the raw 2001 black metal-based demo Tristesse Hivernale with the 2005 EP Le Secret (which was recently re-recorded), which began with… more »

36 Songs To Soothe the Pain

By eMusic Editorial Staff, eMusic Contributor

Whether you're happily married or told Cupid to shove it a long time ago, we can all agree on one thing: to quote the one-and-only Nazareth, "Love hurts/ Love scars/ Love wounds/ And mars." Or something. That's why we went ahead and compiled a list of 36 Songs To Soothe the Pain, from the bloodletting confessionals of Neko Case, Bright Eyes and Sunny Day Real Estate to the melancholic melodies of Sigur Rós, the Shangri-Las… more »

They Say All Music Guide

The members of Explosions in the Sky may just be four soft-spoken guys from Texas, but on Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever they simply tear everything apart. Combining influences from classic rock to metal to goth, the band creates instrumental soundscapes that can turn from all-out destruction to heartfelt, dreamy melodies in the blink of an eye. The result is similar to Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor! — a musical journey that leads listeners through the entire range of emotion without even needing words. “Greet Death” matches a crunchy Dinosaur Jr. hook with warm Cure-esque bass grooves. “Moon Down” chimes and twists through ten minutes of calm night, leaving the listener with the feeling that something awesome is sure to happen. On “Have You Passed Through This Night?” a film-dialogue sample ponders in a near-whispering Texas drawl the meaning of the world. What follows is like the climax of a tense, mind-blowing movie, driven by relentless guitars and a thundering Master of Puppets-era Metallica drum march. “Poor Man’s Memory” follows, offering some consolation in a sentimental melody. The album ends with the grand, 12-minute-long “With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept,” a song that moves from Sonic Youth to Joy Division to Explosions in the Sky. Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever is nothing short of awe-inspiring and one of the best records of 2001. – Charles Spano
