Human Factor/4.Hm.F

"The job is progressive space rock; the individual is a Russian supergroup with members from Infront, Kaftan Smeha and Hagi Tragger; the organization is Human Factor. They describe their impact as“contemporary instrumental crossover between space, progressive, and alternative rock.” They certainly have the resumé and skills to get the job done..."

Mr. Atavist

Celestial Bloodshed - Cursed, Scarred And Forever Possessed

Black metal!

Mescaliner - Willow Spree

I first came across this band randomly on a blog that primarily features post-rock bands. But this band has a slightly progressive edge to it that I think will appeal to people who like bands like Porcupine Tree, as well as those who like DoMakeSayThink and ASilverMountZion.

Just lovely...

Katabatic - Heavy Water

Another wonderful surprise of a post-rock album!

"Revolution, this psychological, creative revolution, in which the 'me' is not, comes only when the thinker and the thought are one, when there is no duality such as the thinker controlling thought, and I suggest that it is this experience alone that releases the creative energy which in turn brings about a fundamental revolution, the breaking up of the psychological me. We're all one, dude." - Krishnamurti, "The First and Last Freedom"

Her Name Is Calla

Post-rock. Post-metal. Post-hardcore...I know, I know...A gazillion bands and the vast majority of them not really standing out very much, seemingly content to wallow in perpetual meh-dom, release a few albums on Bandcamp and shuffle off into wherever it is bands hardly anyone even noticed shuffle off to.

But Her Name Is Calla have been doing it for ages, and they have that little special something extra that lets you know they've been doing it right. Lovely stuff...

Dig in for yourself over at the mighty Siren Sound!

Mighty, mighty doom-sludge

ambient bliss

Abyssal - Denouement (2012)

"Abyssal are channeling Ulcerate and Deathspell Omega through an old school lens with Denouement, laying down a shadowy atmosphere with hints of brutal technicality and frightening dissonance without blatantly copying the aforementioned acts..."

Thanks Equivoke!
