Eight Bells

Eight Bells is a rather odd duck hailing from the Pacific Northwest, formed by two former members of psychedelic/space rock band Subarachnoid Space and taking the title of the last album of said band as this new project's name. There are plenty of styles mashed together here, with the base being a sort of progressive post-rock style. The compositions are meandering and experimental and a bit psychedelic at times, with bursts of doom, sludge and even black metal woven into the song fabric. While the basic tenets of the band are present on both albums, the two releases are a fair bit different, with the debut The Captain's Daughter clearly more raw and perhaps less focused than Landless. These guys (well, actually the band is and usually has been more gals than guys) are off the beaten path from a metallic standpoint but are an interesting proposition.
