Instrumental swells ebb and flow as atmospheric density gives way to an ever evolving dynamic shift in direction, which in turn rises to breaking point, via jarring white noise and a crescendo that could possibly be standing on its last legs. A foreboding tension is ever present under an ethereal density and urgency, the resulting sound being an eclectic and continuously evolving undercurrent of melody and noise which looks to envelope the listener.
Rest initially began life in late 2001. A demo was recorded and numerous gigs around Ireland with numerous bands followed while the four piece wrote the material for their debut album, Burning in Water Drowning in Flame, released on Out On A Limb Records in 2004.
A member departed, and a new mini-album was written and recorded, signaling a change in direction from their decidedly Post-Rock roots, before a new member was duly recruited. The band embarked on their first British tour in April when they supported Swedish post-metal outfit Cult of Luna. In October of 2006, a track from the bands mini-album was used on the Kerrang compilation album, New Breed, alongside a host of new and upcoming British acts.
Operation: Impending Doom, was released in January 2007 on Out On A Limb Records. Over two tracks and twenty minutes it offers a significant shift in tone and mood from previous releases.
The band played some dates around the country in support of the new release in January and February, followed by a support slot on Isis’s last Dublin date at the Temple Bar Music Centre.
Currently writing new material for a new album which (we hope) will be out sometime early next year...
Hello. I hope you can come to The Impressionists' "Back to Basics" EP Party at The Pavilion on July 17th. It's only a fiver and there is a free "Back to Basics" Ep for those who come early. doors at 11pm. It'll be real funky
Hows it going lads? We are playing in The Pavilion Cork on August 7th, we would love ye to pop in if your about? Are you guys gigging much at the moment?
We at 'Clitoral Defecation,' are over the moon about the fact we are now 'friends'! Your internet 'friendship,' is very dear to us,for instance,the non replying to messages,the deleting of bulletins before you read them and just general ignorance between your lovely self and 'Clitoral Defecation,'is going to make our day and make us moist.....oh so moistly soggy.....yummmm!!
This whirlwind of nonsense of a friendship of ignorance is going to be quite the fantastic voyage we are about to embark on! All Aboard! *giggles*
Apart from enjoying long walks in seedy neighbourhoods and candle lit orgies, 'Clitoral Defection' are self absorbed,hateful of everything and completely ignorant to morality!
So please,if youre feeling frisky, dirty, a tad naughty, drunk or smacked out on your narcotic of choice..... come sit on our lap,tickle our chin and whisper sweet nothings in our ear!
yours sincerely and whimsically Bag O' Cans - Supreme High Lord Chancellor of Filth Clitoral Defecation
