SPELLJAMMER - CD ANCIENT OF DAY

Popis - ANCIENT OF DAY:
"We like things on a grand scale," says Spelljammer bassist/vocalist Niklas Olsson. That's a bit of an understatement considering the Stockholm-based trio's penchant for massive, slow-burning sludge riffs intercut with dramatic melodic interludes. There's the pummeling heft of detuned guitars rumbling across the rugged expanse of unwieldy drums counterbalanced with moments of 'Master Of Reality'-era Sabbath's introspective acoustic breaks and Pink Floyd's 'Meddle'-era psychedelia. These extreme shifts in dynamic give the band's third album a sense of epic depth unlike most of Spelljammer's peers.
