Archivist is a six-piece ethereal metal project, which follows the unwitting survivor of a massive ecological disaster. The last humanalive, yet in relative safety aboard the only remaining ark jettisoned from a dying Earth, she begins to record her memories of theworld left in turmoil by humanity's shortsightedness and greed.http://archivistmusic.bandcamp.com/Archivist has no delusions of aspiring to a genre sound; from a purely musical angle, we love the use of blast beats as a texture, tocreate an ethereal wash. As a band, none of us have a particular connection with black metal, but it is true that this sound—reverbheavy guitars, blast beat drums, and screamed vocals—is synonymous with that genre. Musicians have always taken aspects ofmany genres to create new ideas. What we do may not be in any way different from a host of other bands creating music fromsimilar influences. That being said, blast beats and reverb heavy guitars will always be associated with black metal (and, byassociation, with certain political leanings). We in no way consider ourselves a black metal band, but these instrumental patternswill always have associations with black metal, and therefore it is unfortunate but important to point out the glaringly obvious:Archivist is Anti-Fascist, LGBTQ ally, pro-feminist, non-religious, and animal friendly. « hide |
