Interview: Karl Hartwig and Chris Rowden of Hope Drone on “Void Lustre,” Gear, Themes, and Much More

Hope Drone

I haven’t exactly been quiet about how much I love Hope Drone, and with Void Lustre garnering much praise, I jumped on the opportunity to pick their brains about the music’s themes (projected or otherwise), politics, and gear. With three excellent albums in a row, I had plenty to ask, and fair warning, there’s a bit of fan-boying in there too. Karl Hartwig and Chris Rowden graciously responded regardless, so head on past the fold to see what’s what. Continue reading →

Album Review: Hope Drone — “Void Lustre”

August 29, 2019August 29, 2019Charles RandallLeave a comment

Hope Drone - Void Lustre

Gonna admit to some bias here — I am a huge fan of Hope Drone and their unique style of blackened post-metal. I’ve been waiting for Void Lustre for longer than I’ve known its name. As soon as I saw the announcement I started hammering on Josh here at Nine Circles to find me the promo. When he delivered, I dropped literally everything I was doing (I was supposed to be finishing the Falls of Rauros review), hit play on the album, and immediately wrote out my stream of consciousness reaction, which forms the basis for this review. Cloak of Ash tore me apart and put me back together broken, and I was sure that it was an album that would be impossible to top. I was wrong.

Album Review: Tanjiir – “Purnima”

July 29, 2019July 26, 2019Hera1 Comment

Tanjiir - Purnima

When I think of post-metal, I think of the color gray – this deep, melancholic sound that reminds me of rainy days and under-the-surface emotions. It’s supposed to be a soothing alternative to the intricacies of the other genres, a balm of sorts that allows a reset when you least expect it. Adding more elements from other genres may ruin that soothing atmosphere if not done correctly, especially if you have a penchant for the heavier instruments. However, in the case of Tanjiir’s Purnima, the prog elements that make up the backbone here not only add to the atmosphere of the record, they also give it a silver lining. Continue reading →
