Approaching Oblivion

'Holy Sons' is the brainchild of Emil Amos. Amos is most well known for his drumming in the band Grails. He has also just recently become half of the famous duo that is Om. However, Holy Sons puts of a different sound than his other outfits. Hard to nail down, indie-rockish but not cliche or predictable. Warm sounds, creative writing and hypnotizing songs all together.

In my World Religion Class we were told to write a paper on any topic related to religion in anyway. I chose Atheist belief for whatever reason. It's a rough draft and I feel as though it's not saying what I want it to say. In fact, at times I feel like it's saying things I DONT want it to say, but I figured I'd post it on here for the hell of it. It sucks that Blogger cannot copy and paste indentations, italics, bold-face and all that other cool shit, because I'm too lazy to go back into this and put them in there. ** Atheism is the disbelief in a God or all deities. People who hold these beliefs are known as Atheists. I would like to address the fact that I myself do not claim the label of Atheism, although the ideas and writings behind it all deeply fascinate me. I suppose society would label me as an "agnostic" due to the fact that I am very skeptical about most common religious belief, yet at the same time, I do not doubt the idea of a superior being....

So I slept through a very important class this morning and have about an hour to kill until the next one comes around. Why not upload some albums?

Stan Rogers (1949-1983) Canadian folk/country. Lots of focus on the working class, the meaning of family, the boats and the harbours of Canada and the good old essence of alcohol. I really like these songs, thanks to Dave for the recommendation. DL: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=23AWOSU0

GRAILS - DOOMSDAYER'S HOLIDAY (2008) This album is in the running for best of the year. Very dark and richly layered. A great mix of styles from modern post-rock, fusion styles and middle eastern music. With this release Grails continues to carve out their own individual sound, showing us all that they are a serious force to be reckoned with. This also gives fans a breath of fresh air when it comes to the usual post-rock we have become so used to listening to. Although the music has a dark and minor tone to it throughout, Grails always has a way of filling the listener with constructive and encouraging mentalities. GRAILS - THE BURDEN OF HOPE (2006) This album has a brighter sound and feel to it than the others. I noticed more ambiance and spacing in between riffs in these songs. Not as much as a densely layered mix as Doomsdayers or Take Refuge... but still has a nice full sound to it. More brightly written riffs, with a worldy vibe to them.
