Download

Shelving are a Swiss band formed in 200? in Delémont.
Originally as a side-project of people from Unfold, Forceed, Art of Falling and some other great bands from the place.
This one is their very first release.
Less dreamy and ambient than the last one I posted times ago.
A bit more "metallic".
Just check by yourself.
I recommend.

RUSSIAN CIRCLES - Enter - 2006

Download

Instrumental three-piece formed in Chicago, USA in 2004.
This one is their very first full-lenght. My personal favourite of what I heard from them until now.
Progressive, epic and heavy.
Great post-hardcore with some good post-rock moments.
Highly recommended!

"Russian Circles are a post-rock band that isn't afraid to pack in the energy. Their debut album, Enter, proves just how heavy the often slow-and-whispy post-rock genre can really get. Russian Circles provide a surprisingly thick-sounding, layered instrumental attack given their status as a three-piece outfit. This is due to guitarist Sullivan's ability to loop and layer guitar licks and effects, a trick that bassist DeKuiper joins in on occasionally. And as odd as that may sound, the band never fails to keep a song rocking. This album lacks the slow build-ups common to bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mono, opting instead to focus on making songs flow dynamically through several sections. A great deal of this band's heaviness is due to the skill of the drummer, who plays very dynamically and provides fills, tempo and time signature changes at all the right moments. Their style is very melodic and majestic, yet undoubtably dark and a little sinister."
