Show Me a Dinosaur - Plantgazer (2020) EN


For the first time I posted about the Russian band quite a while ago - four years to be specific, when they released their album Show Me a Dinosaur. Now the 4-piece post-metal-blackgaze band from Petersburg showed their fourth album and brought some heavy taste to the last days of this difficult year.

The album makes another release that's a direct response to the lockdown and pandemics situation in the world. And this also explains the mysterious title as according to the musicians, gazing at plants is the only thing people locked inside their houses during quarantine can do even during beautiful, sunny days. This and "trying to figure out answers to the many questions this new world has given rise to". Blackgaze on this album is very guitar-saturated and catchy, in many places more post-rock-like than metal if this can even be so easily said. The band with no problem generates the waves of sounds that sweeps the audience off and carry them to the most energetic worlds (Red River!).

The post-metal here is made mostly of the screaming vocals, but the artists also use more normal, choir-like chanting as in the great Marsh. The most important though is that the band is not about making the music strictly within a genre but they go wherever their heavy and guitar0filled hearts tell them to. I like it very much.

Plantgazer costs 7 USD.
