I had never heard of them until Friday when their new album came out.

'But nothing in their already-estimable catalog could prepare you for »Ilion«, a huge-sounding 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 experimental greats Goat.'

There's a small thread for this already here: https://forum.metalwarfare.com/index.php?topic=2447.0

Class band, if you only discovered them through the new album I'd recommend going back to Ummon too, it's unreal.

Their last album was great I am giving a listen and trying to get into to the latest one now
Support I think will be from another French group called Servo https://servo1.bandcamp.com/

Cheers! I will, definitely! I checked 'Levitation Sessions' today, it looks like they know how to play well live

Servo were great, fair play to them.

SLIFT were absolutely class. Hypnotic at times.

Think I'm only just about recovering now. Fuck me that was outstanding. Makes me laugh even more at the idea of paying out for the likes of AC/DC when this is happening right now.
