Band: In The Hearts Of Emperors
Album: Tour EP
Year: 2010
Country: Sweden
I don't know much about this band except that they are from a town here in Sweden called Nyköping and that they have just released a split LP with the mighty Downfall Of Gaia. This quartet is really a gem among the less known names of the Swedish post metal-scene. There is some good bands that have started to pop up that I'm sure I'll review here sooner or later, but lets get back to dissecting some royal hearts shall we? The music is somewhat floating between post-rock and sludge, there is some screamo-elements in there as well as some drone ala thisquietarmy but the focus is mainly on the sludge-aspect, slow and dreamy songs that progress to become powerfull and emotionally anthems. It all floats together really great and after listening to this EP a few times I'm very eager to hear the split and how they will progress in time. I can definitely see this band playing at big festivals in Europe and perhaps even cross the sea to the U.S in the future.
Song(s) you should listen to: Both the first and third songs are really good post-metal songs with a lot of highs and lows, layered instruments and great vocals. However i really like the second song which is more of a dronish/ambient song. It kind of serves like a interlude from the first song to the third but in itself it's a good and mellow soundscape similar to acts such as Impregnable and Secret Abuse.
