New Keepers Of The Water Towers
This enigmatic Swedish band with the mouthful for a name started out
around 2007, initially working in a more stoner/doom mold.
For a time they went by just New Keepers, and as such recorded two
EPs before a submission found its way to
MeteorCity
Records, who packaged the two recordings into one compilation
as
Chronicles, with the band returning to their full name at that time.
Since then they've recorded three albums, with the latter two
(2013's
Cosmic Child and
2016's
Infernal Machine) notable both for being outstanding albums
but also being not terribly similar to each other.
Cosmic Child sees the guys broadening their earlier
Mastodon-ish
style to more drawn-out epics, bordering on progressive doom,
and
Infernal Machine
takes that progression to
another level, a largely instrumental effort with a strong
cinematic/soundtrack feel.
These guys are clearly operating on their own terms and within a space
virtually all to themselves -- probably not a recipe for superstardom,
but it does make for great music.
