Review
Argentinian
Space Rockers IAH return with another heavy round of Psychedelic
Space/Stoner Rock and their new album II. This album has a different
approach compared to their celebrated 2017 debut EP.
As the band adapt a more Ambient/Post Rock sound with their familiar
Spaced Out Riffs taking a back seat for the most post. IAH have even
managed to add a heavier Sludge/Doom/Post-Metal to their music.
Those
sounds were on their debut album but perhaps not as loud as this. IAH
have taken influence from bands such as Pelican and Russian Circles
with songs such as El silencio del agua, hh
and Nihil Novum setting the stage for some epic progressive jams that
IAH are well known for. The album does have quite a doomed out
approach when IAH opt for the heavier sounds. This makes the album
very hard to categorize but I feel we should all just enjoy the music
as it’s beautifully played with a dark hypnotic edge.
The
album flows superbly from start to finish as each song has a
beginning, middle and an end. This allows IAH to have a direct focus
for each song held on the album. The final two songs Pri and Sheut
prove why IAH are starting to make a name for themselves not
only within
the South American Stoner Rock scene
but also within the wider Stoner Rock/Metal community.
IAH
have released an album that you will be listening for a very long
time to come. IAH deserve all the riches and plaudits hopefully
coming their way. If you’re looking for a band that bridges the gap
between Post-Rock, Psych, Doom and Stoner Metal grooves then accept
no substitute. IAH are the band for you.
This
is one of the years most have Instrumental Rock/Metal albums.
