Review
Into Orbit are a
Post-Rock/Post-Metal duo from New Zealand who add elements of Space
Rock and Doom Metal into their music. Their debut album –
Unearthing – is packed full of different sounds and visions as the
band fully explore their full musical landscapes. Fans of Pelican,
Telepathy, Kylver and Russian Circles will enjoy this.
The album contains 9
tracks as Into Orbit take you on mind-expanding progressive journey
where the doomy atmospherics allows the band to inject waves of space
rock sounds. Songs such as Dark Matter, Stone Circles, Caldera and
Gilgamesh all convey subtle riffs with an air of intelligence within
them. The progressive rock/metal themes are a major highlight of the
album as Into Orbit experiment with their sound on each individual
song.
Bands who merge so many
different genres normally become bogged down with ideas that often
feel flat. Into Orbit have no such trouble as they've created some
highly intriguing and original sounds of their own. For a duo these
guys are insanely loud.
If you're looking for a
different take on the Post-Rock/Post-Metal genre then look no further
as Unearthing is a beautiful work of progression and melody.
Excellent and Highly
Recommended.
