Review:
Postvorta
is a new Post-Metal band from Italy who have just released a superb
debut album called - Beckoning light we will set ourselves on fire. A
sprawling 70 minute musical odyssey which is influenced by Isis,
Pelican, Russian Circles and Cult Of Luna.
It
may not sound the most original sounds but it's still an action
packed emotionally charged album that will take you to new musical
heights. The songs are all beautifully constructed to take you on to
the next emotional high which all great Post-metal albums should do.
The epic run time may put some people off but Postvorta manage to
keep your attention focused primarily on the music. The two opening
tracks – We're Nothing and We Are The Righteous Hell – show the
world what Postvorta are all about. Sprawling riffs which cross a
fine line between heavy post-metal violent riffs and beautifully
played ambient based post-rock vibes.
The
hardcore vocals are sang with conviction and a real sense of purpose
as Postvorta venture between different moods through the album. One
moment the atmosphere can be loud, violent and noisy as hell. While
the next it can be tranquil soothing world you never want to leave,
especially on to the opening riffs Set Them On Fire. Though Postvorta
destroy this peaceful illusion to a thousand piece as they let rip
with a heavy pounding avalanche of dangerous riffs.
Set
Them On Fire brings back memories of ISIS in their prime but
Postvorta still prove they have deadly tricks and riffs of their own
to impress you with. Another highlight to Postvorta's music is their
style and creativity of ambient noises and sounds which features
quite prominently throughout the album. It maybe quite jarring at
times but it gives this album a sense of humanity amongst the violent
chaos of it all.
My
only complaint about the album is the 2 minute short tracks that
follows most of the epic songs. The band could of left a few out as
it sometimes stops the full flow of the album. Other than that
Postvorta have delivered a stunning debut album that should win them
some major buzz within the Post-Metal scene.
If
you miss Post-Metal titans – ISIS. Then you need to check Postvorta
out now. As they will end up as your new favourite Post-Metal band.
A
truly wonderful and haunting debut album that doesn't come around
often. Ignore this at your peril. An absolute must have album.
