Tocsin

by YEAR OF NO LIGHT

Jordan Vauvert Le tocsin n'est pas la cloche de cathédrale dont les harmoniques sublimes font accéder au Royaume de Dieu : c'est une cloche dissonante qui donne l'ordre d'évacuation face à une catastrophe imminente.
Tocsin, troisième album de YEAR OF NO LIGHT, ne joue plus sur la dualité : le post-metal du groupe tire sur le doom metal mais reste rapide. Chaque répétition ne fait qu'augmenter un peu plus la pression. Aucune issue et un désespoir total, sous l'indifférence des étoiles.
Ce Tocsin est sublime... Favorite track: Géhenne.

Unique groupe, musique unique.
Since Facebook and Bandsintown recommended YONL simultaneously based on some of my preferences like LizZard, it must have been the right stuff. Amazing, entertaining, transcendenting. Doom metal very relaxed, without pretension. Highly recommended. Favorite track: Désolation.

about

On this outstanding new offering, YEAR OF NO LIGHT , the undisputed leader of Instrumental Post-Metal, continues to explore the boundless possibilities of its unique transcendental expression of sound.

This third full lenght album, and third masterpiece, is a doom expedition that moves from slow, tribal pounding and shimmering ambience through an echo chamber of melodic guitar notes and into a vast, black pit of fuzz-bombed despair streaked with feedback and touched by the pale beckoning hand of death.

Extremely heavy, divinely stellar, and epic. "Tocsin" is an unforgettable journey beyond the laws of Post-Metal, Doom Metal, hypnotic musical forms and any other influence marked with the seal of pure mysticism...

A wholly metaphysical experience.

Maximum volume delivers maximum results !
