————————————————————————————————

Czar formed in January of 2009 from the ashes of Chicago’s industrial-metal juggernaut Acumen Nation. The trio consisting of Jason Novak, Dan Brill and Brian Elza is a fusion of brain and brawn, power and finesse, brutality and hooks, or what Outburn Magazine has coined “thinking man’s metal”. For fans of Gojira, Jesu, Mastodon and Helmet.

Czar take the dense riffs of post metal, the twitchy rhythms of prog and a healthy dose of straight-forward industrialized metal and form it into one excellent beast of an album.

Like all good post metal albums, this is best if listened to from start to finish.

This isn't going to be Amia Venera Landscape 2011 is it?

I can't say it will have as big of an impact, but this is pretty damn good. I'm going to have to change my Top 10.

I wish that blog items had the authors name, because everything in recent memory that you've posted is great Willie.

Willie

Are you checking this out right now?

Acanthus

Yeah, if you wouldn't have mentioned the Acumen Nation bit I think I could have picked up on it, the cleans are recognizable. I like the screams/growls here, only on first track though.

Yep ;)

The site definitely needs more posts like this one. I know plenty of cool underground bands who definitely wouldn't mind being streamed on Sputnik.
