‘extol – of light and shade (indie recordings).
The aptly named ‘of light and shade’ (or indeed it may be a track entitled ‘betrayal’ – press announces one thing and the download blurb suggests something else – mind you it could be haplessness on our part), whatever the case this bad boy comes ripped from Extol’s recent self-titled opus and finds them freewheeling between moments of brutish cauldron like cranial trepanning and clouds parting blissfully radiant progressive groove which if reference markers are required we suggest you imagine a rather playful Mastodon armed with an impish charm to tame and torment in the blink of an eye.
