East of the Wall (Post-Prog??)

gunshow86de · 02-20-2011, 10:54 AM

I know some of you guys will dig this. It might be my favorite album of last year (way to stay current

). Not sure what to call this.... maybe post-stoner-prog? Something like Intronaut. Not that they sound all that similar, but same sort of vibe.

All attempts to classify aside, it's really a great record. I think you should check them out.

this guy i was playing guitar with for a little while showed them to me. pretty ....ing awesome

Loomer · 02-21-2011, 03:36 AM

Ressentiment is so ....ing good, seriously.

I see there are at least a few other people with taste. I was getting worried when the Emmure album thread had more positive responses than this one.

13point9 · 02-21-2011, 10:46 AM

would be cool to hear recordings of these guys, i try not to judge purely on live videos, but I can see me liking it

Myspace link is in the OP, a bit lost in the clutter though. Quite a few songs on there. I think their Facebook page has some too (can't check at work).

good stuff, my band put ourselves down as 'post-prog' we have elements of this, but it's a lot less widdly and technical

seven string band + sevenstring.org = more attention. but i could give a rats ass how many strings East of the Wall plays because i enjoy the art of their music. found out about them through Metalsucks via the sampler they put out. really top notch stuff, im still sifting through the music finding the nuance. i need to be in the right mood to listen to these guys tho, cuz if im in a hurried frame of mind i cant listen to this, but when its chill out time i play them and a few other bands. i like how they fill the space in their music where other post bands are IMO too minimalistic

p.s. i want them and Intronaut to tour together

cheers

GalacticDeath · 02-21-2011, 06:45 PM

Pretty good stuff some of their riffs kinda remind me of Dysrhythmia a little.

rug · 02-21-2011, 07:01 PM

I've been a fan of theirs ever since I heard their 4 song EP they put out like 5 years ago or so. Some of the members used to be in The Postman Syndrome, if anyone remembers them.

They played a tiny little show in an art gallery in Minneapolis about 8 months ago - they were some of the nicest guys you'll meet. It's really too bad more people don't get into them, though I understand why. An Intronaut/EOTW tour would be pretty goddamn awesome though.

if i ever hear that EOTW is supporting Intronaut on something like a a new york date, i will drive the five hours from RI to NY just to see that show

EDIT: everyone just checking out this thread now should listen to their song Fool's Errand

squeeth · 02-24-2011, 01:14 PM

man I heard this band for the first time about a month ago. They're HEEEEEAVY. They give me that Intronaut vibe too. "Ladder" is bad ass

Bumping for new song;

EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: EAST OF THE WALL, “WHISKEY SIPPER” | MetalSucks

Triple7 · 08-24-2011, 09:05 AM

Sweet gotta check this out when I leave work today. These dudes are awesome!

rug · 08-24-2011, 08:04 PM

Win.

gunshow86de · 10-21-2011, 01:01 PM

Entire new album is streaming at Brooklyn Vegan => stream East of the Wall's new LP, see them on tour, at CMJ

I've had my physical copy for about a week now (because Translation Loss is awesome), and it's easily my favorite album of 2011. It's a progressive "post-metal" album that doesn't get boring.

rug · 10-22-2011, 01:18 PM

This album ....ing owns. I am so happy my band gets to open for them in a week!!!!!

GnarlesBronson · 10-22-2011, 08:37 PM

Happy to see this post.

Ibanezsam4 · 10-26-2011, 10:33 PM

got the album... holy ....ingshitballs.... one of the best albums i've heard in a long time. it flows beautifully, and those instrumental jams get my head bobbing! i have the vinyl too

jackblack · 10-27-2011, 09:25 PM

My god this is incredible. Probably one of the best band I've heard in this genre

Triple7 · 10-27-2011, 10:11 PM

Finally heard the new album in it's entirety, man it's freakin awesome!

fitterhappier · 10-27-2011, 10:21 PM

The Apologist is so so so good......I liked Ressentiment but this new one is on a whole other level for them. I love the way it flows from track to track, plus it seems way more focused for them. It's awesome.

........ especially on the flow part. I love albums that don't stop from track to track. It's not just a bunch of "filler" parts either; the album has my full attention from start to finish. I've listened to the entire thing, start to finish, 5 times now.

Triple7 · 10-28-2011, 01:21 PM

Yup that's where I'm at. It's a nice step up from their last album, which I also think is awesome. I definitely agree on the flow part as well, the songs transition into eachother so nicely.

Alfie (1 of 3 guitarists) uses a USA Custom NAMM show Schecter 7 string made of Bubinga or some kind of heavy wood. Has used 7's since the Postman Syndrome Days. The other dudes (Conway and Beards) use Parker & Fender. Bartman (played bass for my band from 2009 to recently) uses 5 string basses (Pedulla w/ East of the Wall, and Zion w/ Argonauts).
