Red Sparowes

Red Sparowes - Alone And Unaware, The Landscape Was Transformed In Front Of Our Eyes
Made up of members of Isis and Neurosis, Red Sparowes keep the epic progressive rock aspects of those bands while substituting the metal with post rock. They have very similar song structure to Isis, but with no vocals and more prominent melody. And somehow, it sounds just as heavy. These days, post rock is a mostly barren wasteland filled with has-beens and rehashers, but by coming at the genre from a metal perspective, Red Sparowes have injected new life into it and given us one of the most emotional and moving albums in recent history. It’s brilliance from start to finish.
