Here's the brand new, re-recorded debut of GIANT SQUID's Metridium Fields album on The End. This new version features all of the songs from the

original album re-recorded, again with Billy Anderson (WEEDEATER, MELVINS, FANTOMAS) producing, and packaged in a sleek digipack.

Highly peculiar and haunting proggy indie-metal from these folks. Very synth heavy, which we like lots. Heavy riffs are layered with dreamy synths, moving

from uptempo metallic dreampop with angelic male and female vocal harmonies, to slow doomy dirges, to heavy post-metal majesty, to deranged black metal

weirdness. Very cool! It all ties together well, and the delicate synth breaks are awesome, sounding like BLACK HEART PROCESSION or PLEASURE FOREVER emerging

from a one of ISIS' crushing dirges. GIANT SQUID reminds us of MARE a little bit,too, with their dense vocal harmonies and ultra stylized shifts in sound,

but this is also quite a bit like a punkier NEUROSIS on a serious shoegaze/dreampop/prog-rock binge. The final track, "Metridium Field", is a 17 minute epic

in the vein of PELICAN, ISIS, and MONO, with GIANT SQUID's own weird nauttical vibes. Excellent, grandiose metallic-post rock designs for fans of TIDES,

NEUROSIS, MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT, ROSETTA, etc. Recommended.
