Bio:
Valfader
was born in the summer of 2010 at a local drinking hole in Bath and
at stage two studios.
We're three guys with valved amps, big drums, heavy riffs and appreciate of all things heavy and doomy. We know what we like and we hope that you (the listener) like and enjoy the music too.

Valfader’s
music is designed to transport the listener through the constructs of
sonic landscapes, layered with a variety of sounds and conflicting
emotions. At the foundations of the tracks are brutal riffs and heavy
doom combined with passages of despair and tension. Release from this
colossus of tension is offered by the lighter, more melodic passages
that offer a hope of overcoming.

Review:
So
UK Sludge Rock Trio Valfader are back with an epic new single called
– Opening – and so soon after their blistering and superb debut
release – Whispers Of Chaos – which caused quite a stir within
the Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal scene.
So
what does this epic 14:22 minute have in store with us. Well it's a
great epic track that's for sure. Evoking memories of 70s UK Prog
Rock Music with the epic riffs going on for a very long time indeed
and that is no bad thing if you're a fan of Progressive Sludge/Stoner
Metal music.
Valfader
have really outdone themselves here. The instrumental work is
awe-inspiring at times. You would expect a song like this from a
legendary Prog Rock band. Not a band like Valfader. And I do mean
that as a compliment. Their song-writing has came on leaps and bounds
since their debut release. Imagine Mastodon jamming with YES then
that's the vibe you get from OPENING.
You
will lose your mind, body and soul as OPENING features some heavy
bone crunching riffs indeed. Play this track nice and loud to fully
understand it's power.
Now
my only complaint is the clean based vocals could of done with a bit
more volume to make them a little more powerful. As Valfader are
pitch-perfect with the louder and heavier grizzled vocals. I just
wanted the cleaner vocals to have a bit more volume to them. But
other than that it's another excellent release from Valfader.
OPENING
proves that Valfader are one of the UK's brightest hopes. Lets see
where they go next on their next release.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
