Post-metal
might be a very millennial creation, with peaks and valleys of
creativity across an expansive spectrum, but fire still rumbles down
below and newcomers can still offer new twists on an oft-tired subgenre.
Enter Sweden's Gloson and their Yearwalker debut, set for international release on March 23rd via Art of Propaganda and Catatonic State.
Originally self-released digitally last year, the mini-album is now
being released on vinyl LP to show the international metal scene how
much that fire still rumbles down below. At a taut yet spacious 32
minutes,Yearwalker displays
a young band with a veteran's grasp of sludgy, sometimes-sinister
post-metal. The four songs comprising the record are mini-epics in
themselves: often crushing right out of the gate, other times simmering
with delicious tension, always with deft 'n' subtle shifts in dynamics,
and all recorded in warm, molten analog. There's a certain autumnal
melancholy toGloson's ruminations
here, guiding the listener across vistas of grey skies, leafless trees,
and the waning light of the day. As both a debut and a work in itself, Gloson's Yearwalker arrives fully formed and firmly confident. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Gloson started
as a result of a couple of individuals striving to get out of an
emotional storm by writing music influenced by music, art, and legends
who talked them through life. Ideas became creations, and creations
became Yearwalker. The
desire to escape reality, into a world both dark as light, brought
creativity to put together four songs and, then on a DIY level, record
them and drop them as a free digital album.

Anders - guitars & vocals
Christian - guitars, vocals, and drums
