Hope Drone - Cloak Of Ash

Meh, boring. Uninspired composing. And the sound and style are nothing new at all.

I remember liking their first release. So I am checking this out. I play the first song...20 minutes long it says...ugh....well, I am lacing them up, lol....geronimo!!!!!

I have a sweet spot for those monumental post-rock/metal builds so I like this despite the generic atmo bm.

I rarely listen to metal anymore, but this album really got a lot of attention from me lately.
Very atmospheric, yet very noisy as well. I really like the melodies and the production.
The first song is amazing. 20 minutes whizz by, I don't understand. I wonder if their next album will contain songs even longer than that, I think they could do it.

Exactly the way Harakiri For The Sky makes me feel in that their music simply isn't interesting enough to demand this level of time from their audience. Some great moments interspersed among lengthy stretches of atmospheric plodding; in need of some serious work in post to trim the excessive fat masquerading as prime beef.
