VOICES: New Record From UK Avant Sound Contortionists Streaming At Cvlt Nation; London To See North American Release Next Tuesday

 

 

Just days away from its North American release, today Cvlt Nation streams London, the brand new studio offering from UK avant sound contortionists, VOICES, in its entirety.

 

Delivering fourteen bastardized tracks of progressive blackened psychedelic melancholia centered on the forgotten and diseased underbelly of England's capital city, VOICES - who features within their twisted ranks former members of Akercocke and My Dying Bride - compose perfectly imperfect sounds to welcome the end of creation, the extinction of the human, the collapse of music as we once knew...

 

Already reaping critical acclaim throughout European media outlets with Metal Hammer naming the record, "one of the most unique and ambitious metal albums of recent years... from sumptuous beauty through helplessly driven, angular extremity to mind-flaying, id-erupting mania, London is a shattering of the senses, and a psychedelic thrill ride down the rabbit-hole of consciousness," and Angry Metal Guy assuring, "you'll be completely captivated right until the final excruciating note," London is earning similar accolades on North American shores. Metal Insider applauds a band, "unafraid of musical exploration," furthering that, "their ability to seamlessly meld together genres as varied as black and death metal with dark folk and prog rock, among so many others, would be commendable in attempt alone. But the success in which they've been able to so perfectly paint this shadow world with music, beyond how they are describing it directly in words, makes this album one of the most distinctive and engaging metal albums in recent memory." Metal Underground calls London, "a sprawling piece of work," and a, "solid effort of progressive black/death metal," Dead Rhetoric commends in an 8.5/10 an offering that's, "utterly bleak... capturing a feeling of a demented rollercoaster ride," adding, "London is an exquisite trip worth taking on repeated occasions," while New Noise Magazine notes, "VOICES has certainly crafted a challenging and harsh listen, but that doesn't diminish how impressive the full result is, given you have the time and energy to take a harrowing journey with these Englishmen."

 

Celebrating a record that's, "beautiful and furious, frustrated and self-assured," VOICES' London is currently streaming, courtesy of Cvlt Nation, at THIS LOCATION.

 

VOICES was formed in London in 2011 as a new experiment from guitarist/vocalist Peter Benjamin, drummer David Gray and bassist Sam Loynes (all former members of Akercocke) with a mission to create a deep brand of cold and confronting music, part hypnotic yet often disturbing, focusing from an avant-garde take upon black metal, whilst always striving to explore a wide musical spectrum.

 

London will be released in North America via Candlelight Records on January 27th, 2015. Preorder your copy today at THIS LOCATION.
