Where previous records unfolded across vast, demanding terrain, Wars of Spirit // Wards of Light finds DREADNOUGHT at their most focused — sharper, more immediate, yet no less singular.
The oldest song on Answered Prayers, "What Sage Could Not Cleanse" anchors the album's return to The Mosaic Window's original sound: raw first and second wave black metal, and stripped off any polish.
Where "The Archive" moves with precision, "Color of Our Broken Hearts" breathes. A quieter center to the record — though quiet, for DREADNOUGHT, has never meant still.
With “Glass House, Mortal Rooms,” the second single from their forthcoming album Mariposa Magic!, POLYMOON open up the more expansive side of their progressive post-gaze vision.
Harnessing the raw energy of the volcanic badlands, forested valleys, and Painted Hills of Oregon, Portland’s DRY WEDDING has refined their singular sound with the release of their third album The Back Of Beyond
"The Archive" opens the account — and wastes no time. At four and a half minutes, it is among the most direct things DREADNOUGHT have ever committed to tape
