Third Island

[ochoill]

A little bump, we will have some new music this week so I am digging out the thread in the meantime.

Great stuff. Found you guys during lockdown and got all your albums. Remember at the time(in the depths of pandemic) the song "locked away" of omelas hit me like a ton of bricks.
Could also have been the copious amount of alcohol I was drinking at the time

cheers!  Yeah who knew we would write an isolation song three years in advance lol

Cool artwork! I'll have a listen later on

[Eoin McLove]

Cool song, man. Nice filthy tones, and hefty production. The music is atmospheric in a kind of Neurosisy way but the noise rock buzz is all over it too. The gruff vocals are really good.

It prompted me to drag Dusk off the shelf for a revisit.

Oh, the video is cool too and the artwork reminds me a bit of Tim Grieco's more abstract stuff. I dig.

Cheers lads!

Big auld Neurosis fans alright so there's no escaping that, not that I mind at all lol.  We had been sitting on these a while so by the time we got to record them I was listening to a load of noise rock too and tried to let the guitar have that sort of feel to it, as well as the bass mix, glad it came through.  Using the Aluminium guitar probably helps   Glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah man, it comes through alright. The clangy bass and harmonics bring that style to my mind, not that I'm massively versed in it. I think there's more of an undercurrent of Neurosis than it sounding particularly like them. A similar tension there perhaps? And the vocals are great. Probably because of the specific buzz I'm on lately but it has that feel of proto- black metal/ early apocalyptic crust punk that I hear in Bretwaldas. Venom, Amebix, Motorhead, Celtic Frost... gruff rather than growly and very fitting.

Always thought there was a bit of Scott Kelly off you.  Not the music,  just the abuse

Nice track too BTW its grand with the extra bit of heft too!

[Eoin McLove]

Fired Dusk on in the car earlier. Cracking EP. Less apocalyptic than the new stuff, more beautiful and Jesu-like. Very enjoyable.

Hardcopies at some stage?

[Necro Red]

Preordered the EP/shirt and Unspeakable which I didn't have. Gotta catch ye live again as I've only seen ye once before at the siege.

Cheers!  We will eventually have a show or two with the new material sorted out.

Yup CDs are up for the preorder and should arrive to us at the end of this month.

That was written entirely with meself and the old guitarist Liam and would be more in line with his style.  As the rest of the lads joined in it started to change up a good bit since we all always wrote together rather than bringing riffs or songs in.  I enjoy it meself though, it is pretty funny going back to sites and blogs that reviewed it at the time explaining that we are barely doom anymore

fuck off

[astfgyl]

I was listening to a bit of the other fellas stuff not too long ago actually.  Liam o Connor is his name and it was exactly like his bits of Third Island. Anyone who likes that bit of it would do worse than looking him up.

But he's gone now, we don't speak of him any more.

Think I'll have to crack on Dusk this evening ta fuck I haven't listened to it in an age

he's the grandest sure I still chat to him the whole time.  Yeah his own stuff is Coldways and StillColdAir online if ye look it up, it all has a very similar buzz to Dusk when it is heavy, if ye like that.  Good mix of styles across his albums.
