Ephel Duath

Tolkien would be proud yet again


So I was thinkin' of something to upload for you waves, when I heard Ephel Duath come on last night...

Ephel Duath is an Italian metal/experimental group that started as a two-piece, but forming member Davide Tiso enlisted more members for their 2003 full length, '
The Painter's Palette', and their 2005 album, 'Pain Necessary To Know'. Since then, the band has undergone a few lineup changes, and now function as a trio...

Really inventive stuff -- each musician brings their own sound to the table enriching the overall product, despite all the off-the-walls dynamics. It's rare to be able to follow each musician and absorb something different each listen, yet still maintain a great collective sound.


Top-notch stuff, crazy mix of punk-rock/jazz-fusion/metal...the band recently released '
Through My Dog's Eyes' in January, and I myself need a late slip, so be sure to check that out (Ben Weinman from Dillinger does electronics on "Bark Loud")...
