Blackened Toast
An hypnotic album that will transfix and pummel you in equal measure, with thick, crunchy guitars, rich drum tones, and hypnotic, undulating riffs and song structures. Miss it at your own peril.

Pure is an immensely heavy album, but the band do more than just pummel you with distortion. The songs are smartly composed, with a skillful use of dynamics; the quieter moments make the heavy ones feel that much more powerful.

This album is colossal in size from the crashing riffs to the titanic growls, its unbelievable how good Adrift really are. The album Pure grooves through its black metal overtones which conjures up gigantic song structures that could easily sink a battleship.
Favorite track: The Call.

Madrid metal band Adrift is one of the most respected bands in the Spanish underground scene. Doomed in mood, the sound of Adrift is at once shaded, triumphant, apocalyptic, atmospheric and progressive; "majestic gloom", if you will. Adrift will release its new LP, 'Pure', on May 31 via Temple of Torturous Records (Valborg, Ultar, Imperial Triumphant). The album is the long-awaited follow up to Adrift's 2012 release, 'Black Heart Bleeds Black', a record described as "if Baroness, Neurosis or Mastodon went into the darker side of metal". Pre-order 'Pure' at this location.
Formed in 1999, Adrift's early EP's and split releases quickly garnered the band a strong foothold across the European heavy music landscape. The support of Neurosis guitarist / vocalist Scott Kelly, who championed the group on his "Return to Zero" internet radio station, gave Adrift the rock solid endorsement it would need to help secure its first record deal. Adrift released its first album, ‘Monolito’, in 2008, which received glowing praise from Spanish music media. The band would subsequently share stages with like minded bands such as Cult of Luna, The Ocean, Wolves in the Throne Room and Torche, and proved that its high energy live show was the equal of its on-the-record sound and fury.
Wielding virtuoso musicianship and limitless creativity, Adrift's highly technical song structures are relentlessly forceful, displaying staggering chops. On the new LP, 'Pure', a morphing, liquid black melody runs through the veins of the group's herculean tracks; precision and patience roar as guitars crunch, wail, and burn. Swollen grooves grow and flow in circles and waves, allowing Adrift's songs to evolve into a perfect shapeshift between psych density and metal growl. Lyrically, the album dials down on "the corruption of the purest things in life", lending a weighty backbone to the record's sizable skeleton.
Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
The UK four-piece summon the ghosts of metal past to create an unsparing album that's unmistakably contemporary. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 30, 2022
"Curse These Metal Hands" parlays the UK bands' chemistry into a record which—for all its tinnitus-inducing ferocity and elegiac arrangements—practically drips with transcendent joy. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 19, 2019
