Brontide – ‘Artery’ [Review]
Absorbing rather than alienating, feel-filled instead of soul drainingly self-indulgent, and valuing honesty over obfuscation and pretentiousness: Artery is the kind of album you’ll be listening to until you’re old and grey if you afford it the time to sink beneath your skin. Themes form and fade away and re-emerge transformed, context shifting subtly. From the *shels-with-sharper-edges vibe of Tonitro to the Joe Satriani-esque rock progressions and Whammy Pedal squeals of Cabin and Knives‘ Tom-Morello-on-crack riffage, this collection of beautifully crafted pieces is much more than merely “good” – it’s goddamn incredible.
A must for all fans of guitar-centric instrumental music – especially those who value emotional connection over note density.
