New music from Post Death Soundtrack

The Vancouver-based duo Post Death Soundtrack, formed by musicians Jon Ireson and Steve Moore, are best known for their powerful sound that blends psychedelic doom grunge with a variety of other influences. Their music, built on fierce guitars, bold bass and an array of textural sounds, sees the pair bring to life their shared sonic vision with pure sonic flair.

Back in 2008 they unveiled their sound via the debut record Music As Weaponry, which they’ve since followed up with further singles, albums and remixes of their music. In April they dropped their most recent release with the new eleven track record, Veil Lifter, a spectacular run through of the latest chapter of their exciting sonic adventure.

With Veil Lifter, they distil their doom, grunge, hardcore and thrash influences into a crushing new sound. The album follows the industrial soundscapes of their third album, It Will Come Out of Nowhere, and marks a sharp turn towards an unruly organic live sound. This new approach is driven by influences from iconic bands like Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Nirvana and The Stooges, as well as modern heavy music pioneers like Russian Circles, Windhand, Queens of the Stone Age and YOB.

The result is a blend of sludgy riffs, hardcore fury, hypnotic grooves and even ambience, conjuring an enthralling listening experience from start to finish. Lifted from the record, they bring us the single “Lowdown Animal,” offering the perfect taste of their thrilling sonic output.

Brought in by the moody hazy of a distorted guitar riff, the crunch of drums injects a grooving energy as the commanding vocals belt out powerful leads. Riding the slick guitar lines and splashing drums, the expressive vocal performance bends from subdued melodic stretches to swaggering bursts of pure alternative rock energy.

Brimming with stomping energy and wrapped in a dark rock sound, “Lowdown Animal” offers the perfect display of Post Death Soundtrack’s knack for crafting rousing rock music that still retains hook-driven moments. Brought to life by their sensational musicianship, the pair manage to deliver a full band sound as they continue to operate at the cutting edge of modern rock music with another epic alternative anthem.

Commenting on the single, Steve Moore shares, “The hyena has become a kind of symbol for the band, With lions, tigers, and bears, you have a good idea of what to expect from their brute strength. But hyenas represent the outsider, the unwelcome drifter, the cursed sneak. We’ll sneak up, surround the mighty lion and take it down while laughing.”
