HOLY SONS - Drifter's Sympathy - CD
imprec225 - CD - $12.99 
Brand new full length from Grails/Om member Emil Amos.
While burying himself in old books on Cold War espionage and 70's Italian horror soundtracks, Emil Amos logged many hours into the night layering endless tracks of improv and then editing them into a cohesive sonic blanket over 2 years time.
He emerged with his 6th full length record under the name "Holy Sons" called "Drifter's Sympathy". Listeners will recognize Amos' signature hallucinatory/LSD-inspired
mixing-style heard on records like 'Black Tar Prophecies', 'Doomsdayer's Holiday' and 'Take Refuge' by his other group Grails."Drifter's Sympathy" draws from the instrumental moods of 'Grails' and melds perfectly with his usually vocally-based solo-project creating a densely paranoid atmosphere that
evenly balances sonic experimentation with refined folk/blues song-forms.
The main cornerstone of influence for "Drifter's Sympathy" are the German experimental four-track journeymen like Gunter Schikert, Eroc and Achim Reichel whose records reflected a sonic appetite that challenged the limits of the expressiveness of each instrument and
tried anything in the mixing process to create a sound-world as labyrinthine and complex as the human mind itself. Rather than making music based only on skill, melodicism, soulfulness or technique, "Drifter's Sympathy" seems to argue that the most vital quality in music is pure imagination.

Though Conifer has received quite a bit of critical praise they've somehow managed to live off the grid for the past six years. With Crown Fire Conifer is finally getting the exposure they deserve. Mixing post-rock, kraut-rock, metal and pschychedlia they have created this relentlessly driving and hypnotic masterpiece. Featuring Eugene Robinson of Oxbow.

Opening with a nod to Syd Barret's Pink Floyd (Piper at the Gates of Dawn) the record begins with morse code and drops into one of the heaviest slow-burn grooves in the Grails canon. Sounding something like Hawkwind and Ravi Shankar scoring Bladerunner......(more) |

The Black Tar Prophecies is a massive
evoltionary step in the established Grails sound and
it is shrouded in change and pain. This is their first full
length album since leaving Neurosis' Neurot label.
Important is proud to release The Black Tar Prophecies in it's complete form including twofinal tracks not available
on the limited edition vinyl only releases. (more) |

The
first 2000 in the deluxe package are now sold out. The jewel
box edition is now available for a lower price.
Over the last couple of years Ocean has established
themselves as an unparalleled current in the east coast metal
scene. Here Where Nothing Grows is their debut full length
album of 3 rogue waves clocking in at a full 65 fathoms. This
is a slow ancient doom harnessing the deep low end drone of Sunn 0))), Burzum's screams, the crushing heaviness
of Buried At Sea, and even the art rock of Mogwai.
Here Where Nothing Grows was originally recorded by a
physically and emotionally exhausted Ocean at Volume
Studios in Chicago with Sanford Parker (Buried
At Sea/Pelican) at the tail end of a self destructive mini
tour.... |

Following their acclaimed breakthrough debut album that caught the ears of critics and fans worldwide, and became Important's highest selling album, Ocean has returned with their forward thinking, brutally heavy and purely minimalist sophomore album Pantheon Of The Lesser. Everything in it's own time. Simply profound. Heavy like Schoenberg.(more) |
