Title: Ilion Artist: Slift Label: Sub Pop Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 098787162608 Genre: Rock Release Date: 2024-01-19 Number of Discs: 2 Additional Details: COLORED VINYL, RED, B LACK, GATEFOLD LP JACKET Loser Edition on blackened red vinyl. Gatefold jacket with custom dust sleeves. Slift's third album ILION is a towering work of rock music, a steamrolling record that starts at the highest peak and never let's up. If that sounds overwhelming, trust that this Toulouse, France trio have you in good hands. ILION feels massive and oceanic, merging the furious intensity of metal and the wigged-out guitar heroics of psych rock with post-rock's epic sense of scale. ILION is the kind of music where you listen to it and think to yourself, "This came from only three people?" It sure did, and Slift's utter ferocity is way more than a tempest in a teacup. It reaches outwards for miles and creates new zeniths within unforeseen horizons of rock. ILION is a huge and melodically dense record that at once recalls Godspeed! You Black Emperor's perpetually uplifting surge, the passionate burn of post-hardcore legends... And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, Led Zep's psychotic blues-rock mysticism, and the psychedelic swirl of Swedish greats Goat.Tracks:1.1 Ilion 1.2 Nimh 1.3 The Words That Have Never Been Heard 1.4 Confluence 1.5 Weavers' Weft 1.6 Uruk 1.7 The Story That Has Never Been Told 1.8 Enter the Loop Show more
