POST DEATH SOUNDTRACK stirs a sonic odyssey with its new album, “Veil Lifter”

POST DEATH SOUNDTRACK

Audiences should prepare to be engulfed by a tempest of emotion and unfiltered darkness as POST DEATH SOUNDTRACK unveils their fourth full-length album, “Veil Lifter.” This release marks a bold departure into uncharted territory for Jon Ireson and Stephen Moore, embracing a visceral live sound influenced by the doom grunge pioneers with hypnotic grooves and sludgy riffs.

Musically, “Veil Lifter” captures turmoil and triumph, blending heavy music metaphor, dream language, and introspective lyricism to create an emotionally charged and cathartic soundscape. Drawing inspiration from philosophical luminaries like Krishnamurti, Zen teachings, and the Bhagavad Gita, the album echoes the influences of Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, and The Stooges while also nodding to modern heavyweights like Russian Circles and Queens of the Stone Age.

The album “Veil Lifter” consists of 11 tracks that delve into themes of isolation, depression, addiction, chaos, and the resilience of the human psyche. It offers an honest exploration of these subjects, written from a place of deep darkness. The album is dedicated to the memory of Jon Ireson’s late father, Ted George Moore, capturing the unwelcome outsider mentality with a relentless charge. Each track takes the listener on an adventure through dark emotions, from the catchy rhythms of the opening track “At The Edge Of It All” to the evocative “The Die is Cast” and the haunting “Killer Of The Doubt.” The fourth track, “Icy Underground,” and the fifth track, “Arjuna’s Hunting Hand,” deepen the sonic adventure. In contrast, “Lowdown Animal,” the sixth track, embodies the menacing spirit of a pack of hyenas.

Veil Lifter” is a thought-provoking and spiritually profound album that delves into the theme of mental illness and the hidden aspects of the human psyche. Inspired by Eastern philosophies and shamanic visions, the album’s ninth track, “Pin Prick,” brings a visceral edge to the collection, while “Immovable” and the poignant finale, “Hammer Come Down,” create a lasting impact. POST DEATH SOUNDTRACK’s “Veil Lifter” is a compelling blend of classical rock fusion and introspective charm, featuring shimmering melodies and dark landscapes. This album is essential for those looking for an immersive and introspective musical experience.

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.

Mt. Kili Mt. Kili delivers quiet power and honest reflection on “The Noticer” (album)

Mt. Kili

Mt. Kili’s latest album, “The Noticer,” is a warm, contemplative acoustic folk album that finds beauty in the minutiae of life itself, as calm and bare as anyone would call it. Songwriter Rick Sichta of Asheville leads the project with delicate instrumentation and outspoken lyrics, bringing forth an experience that can be both personal and universal. 

Recorded at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, the music is refined and mastered by Grammy Award-winning Julian Dreyer and David Glasser. The current lineup still embodies this vision, with Matt Shepard holding down a heavy rhythmic backbone and Laney Barnett’s violin and vocals rounding out the sound, creating emotion.

There is a story and emotion hidden within each track. The EP opens with “Don’t Start a War,” which opens contemplatively, begging for peace rather than war. The title track, “The Noticer,” exudes a sense of awareness and the beauty of watching life unfold. “The Rain Song” features a soothing, near-meditative vibe.

With a hopeful reflection, “The Road Isn’t as Long as It Seems” is about perspective and perseverance. “Her Song” is pretty much a musical love letter, and “Kyle” is defined by its character-driven narrative. With “The Weather Report,” the change of feeling is reflected, while “Scars “ and “Strawberry Fields” hint at memories and softening imagery. “All in Good Time” concludes the record patiently, a soothing sigh of comfort. “The Noticer” is a reflective album with a soft reminder that sometimes the smallest moments mean the most.
