Cisnienie (Poland) for Post Rock

Ciśnienie (which translates as pressure) is an experimental rock and post-rock band with jazz qualities from Katowice in Poland that has been very active live since 2017. According to the official bio at crossroadsmusic, they were “founded on a simple premise – to try and find most intense, earth-shattering and mind-bending musical climaxes one can imagine." The musical inspirations include Swans, Mogwai, Fire! Orchestra, Arvo Pärt and H.M. Górecki.

The band incorporates rock instruments that commonly utilise strong bass and hectic drums with acoustic instruments such as horns (french horn especially), violin and piano. They create a very strong groove, utilise repetition, and commonly build to climactic walls of sound -- very powerful crescendos. The band has performed many live shows, and the albums are lives or at least based on live performances (not necessarily with an audience). I would compare the music to the likes of latter day Swans.

Various albums are available at http://cisnienie.bandcamp.com/
and at youtube.

I would like to add this band to PA. Thanks for checking.

Interesting and welcome suggestion, I'm excited to check them out. Haven't heard many artists (other than this random group Idre) dare tackle the style of latter-day Swans.
