Our Take

Chicago-based metal outfit Snow Burial bring a cacophony of chaotic beauty with their latest album, 'Ostrava'. The band seamlessly blends elements of sludge, doom, and post-metal to create a truly unique and immersive listening experience.

From the moment the opening track, 'Forgive Yourself', kicks in with its crushing riffs and haunting vocals, it's clear that Snow Burial are not here to play nice. The band's ability to seamlessly weave together moments of intense aggression with moments of delicate beauty is truly masterful.

Tracks like 'Under the Hoof' and 'A Murder of Crows' showcase Snow Burial's ability to create a sense of atmosphere and tension that is both haunting and exhilarating. The dynamic interplay between the band members is on full display here, with each member bringing their own unique voice to the table.

But it's on the epic closing track, 'The Eternal Return', where Snow Burial truly shine. Clocking in at over 10 minutes, this sprawling masterpiece takes the listener on a journey through swirling riffs, pounding drums, and soaring vocals. It's a truly epic conclusion to an already stellar album.

In conclusion, 'Ostrava' is a testament to Snow Burial's talent and creativity. With this album, the band has solidified their place as one of the most exciting acts in the metal scene today. Don't sleep on this one, folks. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Snow Burial

SNOW BURIAL, the self-proclaimed "post-metal, noise, sludge" trio hailing from the Windy City, has been making waves with their thunderous sound and undeniable stage presence. Comprised of Ben, Matt, and Dave, these Chicagoans have been carving out their own unique niche in the heavy music scene since their formation in 2011. With influences ranging from Neurosis to Converge to Swans, SNOW BURIAL's music is a swirling tempest of sonic chaos and beauty. Their latest album, Ostrava, released in 2020, is a testament to their ability to seamlessly blend aggression and atmosphere, leaving listeners both pummelled and mesmerised. Known for their intense live shows, complete with blinding lights and bone-rattling riffs, SNOW BURIAL is a force to be reckoned with on stage. Their energy is infectious, their sound is crushing, and their passion for their craft is undeniable. But don't let their heavy sound fool you - these guys have a sense of humour to match. Whether it's their tongue-in-cheek social media posts or their quirky merchandise designs, SNOW BURIAL knows how to have fun while still delivering a serious punch. In a world filled with cookie-cutter metal bands, SNOW BURIAL stands out as a refreshing and unapologetically unique force to be reckoned with. Keep an eye on these guys - they're just getting started.
