The Atlas Moth: New Track Streaming at Stereogum

Posted on Monday, July 18th, 2011

Stereogum / Haunting The Chapel has the premiere of  The Atlas Moth‘s ‘Coffin Varnish’ off the upcoming full-length, which is called An Ache For The Distance. Listen HERE.

“The excellent sophomore collection An Ache For The Distance — one that features as many atmospheric layers and lifts as its predecessor, but more songwriting depth and details and additional wrinkles in pacing, coloration, and dynamics — should establish them as a force. (Hey, no more opening spots… The Atlas Moth are headliners.) Take a listen to the gorgeous opener “Coffin Varnish” and note the above artwork: It captures the album’s pretty, mysterious, sunsetting, kaleidoscopic feel” –Brandon Stosuy / Stereogum / Haunting The Chapel.

An Ache For The Distance is out 9/20 via Profound Lore.

Posted on Monday, June 20th, 2011

If you have any interest in underground metal, black or otherwise, you’re aware of the uproar created by Brooklyn quartet Liturgy.

Posted on Sunday, March 27th, 2011

Since forming in Cork, Ireland in 2006, the intelligent, expansive ambient black metal quartet Altar Of Plagues have put the EP form to good use: 2007’s Through The Cracks Of The Earth, 2008’s Sol, and especially 2010’s Tides (my No. 2 EP of the year) are some of the strongest ...read more

Posted on Sunday, February 13th, 2011

So far English atmospheric (or “post rock” or “shoegaze” or…) black metal quartet Fen have divided underground audiences — as black metal groups fucking with templates and narrow definitions often do. If you’re unfamiliar with the quartet, the 8-minute title track from Towards The Shores Of The End, their forthcoming ...read more
