Review – Surrounding The Void
by Clint Listing
The words Post Metal sum up so many things to me in 2017 but with Palmer they really have a love for bands like Early Swans, Isis, Deadguy , Tragedy and Fudge tunnel when I listen to this . There are some strong Doomy elements like Phobos, Tripykon, Today is the day and even early Pitch shifter. This Swiss band is one pissed off force of Metal, Post Hardcore and Noise rock into something as I listen to the emotions and power just flows from the album. The riffs are harmonic and crushing. The vocals are just tormented to say the least. If you like bands like Rosetta, Kolwoon walled City and Mouth of the Architect then this is going to be one hell of a ride for you as well. Frustration and Loss are the biggest elements of where the feeling of this music comes from. The fragile and delicate meets the wall of sonic destruction is really what I look for in a good Post metal band and they have it all the way. This is a very impressive release in 2017 check them out .
