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.
