Truthseeker is an instrumental
rock band with a dense and atmospheric sound. Their debut EP “Weightless at Dawn”
features 5 slow, cinematic tracks characterized by reverb-soaked lead guitars,
huge drums, textural rhythm guitars and a thick distorted bass sound. Although
there are no vocals, the artwork features poems for each of the EP’s songs with
the exception of “Submerged“.
There are traces of Prog-Rock, Metal, Post-Rock/Metal, Doom and Ambient music
throughout the record’s 23 minutes and 8 seconds, but there is no single term
that can summarize the intimate and powerful sound that lies therein.
Truthseeker is quickly gaining popularity as one of Boston’s most original
heavy bands. Bassist and songwriter Brendan
James Hayter (Obsidian
Tongue/Blood of the Gods) formed Truthseeker in late 2010 as a vehicle for his
compositions in the Space-Rock style. Aiming for a slow and nostalgic sound,
the first songwriting attempts resulted in “Permafrost“, “Through The Waves” and
“Storm“.
When these were finished he quickly booked recording time with colleague and
friend Dan Gonzalez. After
finishing the basic tracking of these songs as well as new songs “Daybreak” and
“Submerged”, Dan suggested hiring Alex Fewell (Scaphism, Forced Asphyxiation) for
session drums. Intrigued by the idea of hiring a Death Metal drummer to play
slow rock beats, they brought him in and were more than pleased with the
results of the proceeding drum sessions. After this mutually enjoyed
experience, Alex became a full-time member. After
mastering was completed by New Alliance East (Isis, Converge, Cave-In, Morne,
etc.), “Weightless at Dawn” was digitally released via Bandcamp on September
25, 2011. Brendan has also completed writing for the debut LP, which will be
recorded in early 2012. According to him: “The
new material sees the full manifestation of the Truthseeker sound. It maintains
the band’s emotional core while expanding the sound in many ways; longer and
more progressive songs, as well as a much stronger metal presence. Look forward
to a slow and lush progressive metal record!“ Discography Weightless at Dawn (2011) Links: http://truthseeker1.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://truthseeker1.bandcamp.com/ ------------- |
