i discovered belgium's terraformer at the end of last year and was blown away by their very own kind of post-metal-punk-whatever instrumental core. when i stumbled upon their first album 'the sea shaper' at the narshardaa store, i also saw the follow-up - 'creatures' - on clear vinyl. as i am not the biggest fan of that colour-way, i looked to see if there were other pressings around.
by doing so i came across revolvermann records and their web-site. this german label co-released 'creatures' and thus were offering copies through their e-store. they happened to also have 'the sea shaper' record and 'creatures' on clear with black splatter vinyl in stock, all together in a bundle option. did i need any more reasons to get them both? obviously not.
'creatures' see terraformer step up their game. everything is a nuance better, a nuance fresher. the band understands not to get lost in their spheric soundscapes but split your head with a catchy and heavy riff here and there. top notch album! check it out here. the artwork is formidable as well. dark and mysterious, a perfect match to the music engraved in the vinyl. 150 copies made. dunk records. revolvermann records. emotionally unstable records. 2014.
