Autarch – “The Light Escaping” LP
The second full-length from North Caroliner’s Autarch. 6 songs of cosmic influenced melodic heavines, (is this what we’re supposed to call neocrust these days?). Lower-volume post-rock moments contrast with the full-on roar of their blackened punk, it puts me in mind of Drain The Sky and Fall Of Efrafa, especially the drama and thematic influence (high up, in space – does that make them upper crust?… sorry…). The faster moments also remind me of Holy Mountain (minus the shredding), but all refreshingly updated. This is a welcome lease of new life for Profane Existence Records, I hope it continues…
