About This Item
This first LP edition of 'Emergence' is pressed to 180g heavyweight vinyl, presented in a single sleeve complete with a printed inner bag featuring song lyrics. In the build-up to the announcement of their fifth studio album, and recent headline performances in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow and hometown Cardiff, Godsticks' riff-heavy third studio album 'Emergence' is released on mid-price CD via Kscope. Known for their technical ability, Godsticks meld metal, prog-rock, jazz and nu-metal into a musically and thematically cohesive album. And as their sound has gradually hardened since 2008, Charles' vocals have preserved their distinct, relaxed style that remains a defining quality for the band. 'Emergence' features a strong selection of powerful live-favourites which were played during their extensive 2017 European tour as support for The Pineapple Thief and has been placed in favourable comparison by PROG magazine to Queensrÿche's 'Operation Mindcrime', Dream Theater's 'Scenes From a Memory', Tool's 'Lateralus' and Opeth's 'Blackwater Park'.
