Restless Spirit - Afterimage - VINYL LP

Transparent magenta viny. RESTLESS SPIRIT's third album, InchAfterimageInch, embodies the East Coast trio's aim of never wanting to sound exactly like before. Long Island deep-fried guitars meet pounding rhythms and emotionally raw vocals. Where the predecessor InchBlood of the Old GodsInch (2021) sometimes ushered the listener into twisted complexity, InchAfterimageInch delivers short, sharp shocks that hit straight home. Lyrically, InchAfterimageInch is driven by tragedy and personal loss. Singer and guitarist Paul Aloisio has put his heart and soul into the album. InchAfterimageInch might well be read as a cautionary tale. Embarking on their musical journey very early in life, RESTLESS SPIRIT's core of Aloisio and bassist Marc Morello met the summer before Kindergarten and grew up discovering music side by side. Channelling influences like BLACK SABBATH, TYPE O NEGATIVE and THE SWORD and incorporating aggressive modern metal, unabashed stoner-doom pummelling, energetic changes and stirring, earnest vocals, their band was finally christened RESTLESS SPIRIT in 2019. Their debut full-length InchLord of the New DepressionInch (2019) fit equally well into the stoner, doom, and sludge moulds, while on InchBlood of the Old GodsInch, the three-piece developed a more varied, melodic approach with added complexity. On the live front, the Long Island band has undertaken several tours in support of InchBlood of the Old GodsInch and shared stages with the likes of CROWBAR, THE OBSESSED, and CANNIBAL CORPSE. With InchAfterimageInch, RESTLESS SPIRIT deliver a massive punch to the gut that actually feels damn great once the initial pain subsides. Album Tracks 1. Marrow 2. Shadow Command 3.
