Review
THE SKY IS are from
Poland and that country is bringing some top notch talent to the
Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal scene. THE SKY IS play an atmospheric
doomish take on Stoner Metal. Their new album – TÉLÉPATHIE – is
a gloomy instrumental affair with most of the songs having the same
style of post-metal delivery as each other.
It's blissfully heavy
at times with moments of ambient post-rock to calm down the raging
atmosphere the band create on tracks such as Entangled, Kudzu and
Depths. Will people like this band. It all depends if you're ready
for another instrumental post-rock/post-metal band to entertain for
you for the next 25 mins or so.
THE SKY IS standout
from the crowd as they inject superb Stoner Metal grooves into the
mix. The production is solid as it allows THE SKY IS to create
moments of early-Pelican era sounds. THE SKY IS manage to create some
exciting ideas of their own especially on Entangled and Kudzu. Their
music has an air of intelligence around it. The band are very good
musicians indeed with plenty of fantastic riffs that will hold your
attention from the very start.
It's a shame the album
is on for a short space of time. THE SKY IS could have easily
included a couple more tracks to get pass the 30 minute mark. Perhaps
on their next album. TÉLÉPATHIE is a very good album indeed. It
has something for everyone if you're a fan of all things Post-Rock
and Post-Metal but with added Stoner Metal grit and
attitude.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
