Bio
In 2010 "Open
Wide, The Sky" began as a trio of like-minded musicians looking
to play. As jam sessions became more frequent and our playing more
and more cohesive, we reached the unanimous decision to step into
bandhood. If Mastodon, Opeth, and Between the Buried and Me had a
three way baby, that'd be us. So check out our album Monolith, a
mixture of jazz, metal, rock, and a WHOLE lotta love!
Band
To Check Out Info:
Open
Wide, The Sky are self proclaimed – Progressive Space Metal Band.
Interesting description as their music does fall under a lot of
different categories. Progressive Metal, Sludge Metal, Jazz, Hard
Rock and Space Rock. If that feels a lot of different genres to take
in then I suppose it is but the band make this work in their favour.
They play extremely fast when the time calls for it.
Parts
Mastodon, Opeth and Between The Buried and Me – their bio briefly
states and it's a very good description. Open Wide, The Sky is
probably a band that won't appeal to everyone as their music can be
very hard to listen to at times. Their latest release - Live @ JingleBalls Dec 20th, 2014 – is a live album no less. It's a challenging,
frustrating and exciting album to listen to as Open Wide, The Sky
venture off into 100 different musical directions and still sound so
different to everyone else.
I
wish I knew about these guys earlier as I'm became such a fan of
their music within a short space of time. They are a very exciting
prospect indeed if you dig Progressive Metal. My advice – Check
them out as Open Wide, The Sky are definitely worth your time. All
their music is available on BandCamp Buy Now. Their 2012 debut album
– Monolith – is a fucking blast from start to finish. So you have
no excuse!!!
