ASTODAN // EVORA - LTD. HALF N' HALF BLACK & CLEAR W/ GOLD SPLATTER (LP)
RELEASE DATE: May 6th, 2022
It seems not long ago that this Belgian band was a newcomer that we had taken under our wing at the label, and now suddenly they’re firmly rooted veterans who have made quite a name for themselves among fans of both post-metal and post-rock. On their third release with us, Astodan have truly spread their wings, achieving the doubly impressive feat of continuing to push their established sound to new heights while also seamlessly blending in an entirely new element, as Évora is the first of their albums to include vocals. While it may seem in theory to be a sharp turn in a new direction, in practice it presents as an entirely natural evolution of the band’s sound, which has always contained the kind of soft-loud dynamics that invite the inclusion of a vocalist.
