Tzompantli - Beating The Drums Of Ancestral Force - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Psychlona's fourth album InchWarped VisionInch is an exemplary exercise of practised veterans creating a masterpiece. The album's foundations are laid down by riff-focused heaviness and breakouts combined with a multitude of chilled vibes. What makes InchWarped VisionInch stick out from a host of similar recordings is the precision with which each hook hits home and sticks, a dynamic balance of rough edges and catchy melodies. The city of Bradford in West Yorkshire is neither particularly arid nor situated in a hot climate. But although hailing from the former industrial heartlands of rainy Northern England, Psychlona have developed a particularly British brand of desert rock. Some hot summer days in 2016 inspired local musicians to fry up some sonic ideas from sunny California of decades past and to blend in the raw energy of UK punk, a dash of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and spoonfuls of classic English 60s and 70s psychedelia. When the experiment exceeded their own expectations, Psychlona were born. In November 2018, when English towns turn bleak and cold, their sun-drenched debut album InchMojo RisingInch made ears prick up and set them firmly on the path for the prolific following years. The hardworking Englishmen released their sophomore full-length InchVenus SkytripInch in August 2020, an album received with rave reviews across the heavy rock underground and which landed Psychlona their first number one on the Doom Charts. It also reserved them spots high up on several important end-of-year lists. Gathering momentum, the British stoner rockers unveiled their third album InchPalo VerdeInch two years later in August 2022 and immediately scored a second 10/10 review in Powerplay Magazine UK.

Los Angeles psychedelic prog-rock band Ancestors return with a strong sense of purpose and a captivating new album, in Dreams And Time. The quintet formed in 2006 and instead of Inchchoosing between prog rock or heavy rock,Inch merged the styles to create music rife with atmosphere, tension and raw human emotion. On in Dreams And Time, Ancestors fuse the primal aggression of their earlier work with the advanced dynamic sensibilities of the new, gazing into the infinite horizon to provide innovative, atmospheric thinking-man's music. From the moment the album's lead track InchWhispersInch comes on like a collapsing star, SoCal's reigning kings of heavy psych unleash spacious yet pulverizing music that unveils layer upon layer of vintage tones, spectral atmospheres, skin-crawling ambience and swirling keyboard swell over a body of crushing, full-contact rock. A record of limitless depth, in Dreams And Time swings from the exceedingly beautiful to the punishingly physical in seconds flat. Towering riffs. Bleak beauty. Deep wells of light and dark. In Dreams And Time is Ancestors' most accomplished music yet!
