Archspire, Crown Magnetar, The Zenith Passage, Analepsy
Dublin | The Academy
Only ever took notice of Archspire last week or the week before when the new album dropped.
It's gotten a few spins already, and I must pick it up on vinyl...
50/50 on this, thought they were only okay in Whelan's, bit of a laptop band, but gave the new album a spin the other day and enjoyed it on first listen. Also enjoy all 3 previous records.
💯 agree with you. Could nearly say it's false advertising calling it a live show.
I've been relentlessly playing their new album. It's absolutely amazing stuff.
They are phenomenal musicians for a start. There's a making of documentary on Youtube that shows the guys in studio, also Dean Lamb has his own Youtube channel where he plays his own and other bands songs.
The song writing is so good, I am really digging the melodic aspects of the new songs. It gives a sense of relief from the ultra fast sections and holds the whole song together.
The song videos are also so well done, really funny stuff. Carrion Ladder is an 8 Mile parody and is well worth watching.
Mostly, I like that the guys are funny, not taking things too seriously, messing around, now that they have gone independent I am really hoping they succeed.
