Gloson Releasing "Yearwalker" Album Via Art Of Propaganda

Post-metal might be a very millennial creation, with peaks and valleys of creativity across an expansive spectrum, but fire still rumbles down below and newcomers can still offer new twists on an oft-tired subgenre.

Enter Sweden's Gloson and the "Yearwalker" debut, set for international release on March 23rd via Art of Propaganda and Catatonic State. Originally self-released digitally last year, the mini-album is now being released on vinyl LP to show the international metal scene how much that fire still rumbles down below. Art of Propaganda comments:

"At a taut yet spacious 32 minutes, 'Yearwalker' displays a young band with a veteran's grasp of sludgy, sometimes-sinister post-metal. The four songs comprising the record are mini-epics in themselves: often crushing right out of the gate, other times simmering with delicious tension, always with deft 'n' subtle shifts in dynamics, and all recorded in warm, molten analog. There's a certain autumnal melancholy to Gloson's ruminations here, guiding the listener across vistas of grey skies, leafless trees, and the waning light of the day. As both a debut and a work in itself, Gloson's 'Yearwalker' arrives fully formed and firmly confident."

The track listing is:

1. Årsgång
2. Sirens
3. The End/Aftermath
4. The Aftermath/Beginning
