Bleak Recordings is
extremely proud to welcome Portuguese post-metal/sludge trio Wells
Valley into their roster. Featuring guitarist/vocalist Filipe
Correia (Concealment), bassist Pedro Lopes and drummer Pedro
Mau (Kneel), the group formed in late 2011 and have recently completed
the recordings of their debut album “Matter as Regent”, which will
be released on February 7th, the day they’ll play live for the first
time ever at Burning Live Fest in Lisbon.
Meanwhile, the band recently released a music video for the song "Star Over a Wheel". The video was shot by André Godinho for StopWorking&GoOutside and you can view it here.

The forty minutes long, 6-track album is an incredibly
unpredictable and evocative release, blending the monolithic heaviness of
sludge/doom with the intricacies and atmosphere of dark post-metal. The trio
have crafted an organic, intriguing and crushingly heavy sound that falls
somewhere between the suffocating atmospherics of Neurosis and Cult
of Luna and the complexities of Voivod and Ved
Buens Ende.
Co-released by Raging Planet and Chaosphere Records, "Matter as Regent" is a fascinating release that sets Wells Valley as one of the most promising and innovate bands emerging from Portugal in the last couple of years.
