Orchestral metal band Red Sparowes is streaming a new song off their upcoming EP Aphorisms. The track is titled "We left the apes to rot, but find the fang still grows within" and it's an epic blend of 60's psychedelic rock and present day experimental metal. Imagine Pink Floyd jamming with ISIS or Earth in session with Faust. You can hear it on Red Sparowes' myspace page. The digital EP will be available August 1st, but no physical copies until Fall according to a report on Jambase.

that's pretty good stuff. It's amazing to me the wealth of these "post-rock instrumental" bands that are all of a sudden everywhere, and so many of them are excellent. The friends list on their myspace page tells it all: Russian Circles, Isis, Pelican . . . there are so may great bands out there right now.

it's true. i posted often about those bands last year, but it wasn't easy. it's plain to see that they're all part of a metal scene that doesn't get much mainstream publicity. Pelican, Wolves In The Throne Room, ISIS, Growing, Thrones, Totimoshi, etc... All fantastic bands on killer indie labels...
