Gods of Space – Against A Falling Sky

 

 

Gods of Space – Against A Falling Sky
Self released – 2021
Rock, Metal, Stoner, Space, Doom
Rated: ***

A science fiction themed EP by a science fiction named band called Gods Of Space. The three from Pennsylvania will release their new EP Against A Falling Sky on 4-20 of this year and the first single is already up on their bandcamp site. It’s the third track (on the bandcamp site, but second track on the press copy?) Exit Point, which gives you this three minute and thirty seconds long proggy stoner metal tune that thanks to the choppy drums in the beginning feels distinctively punk until it slows down to a doom like trod. The other four tracks seem to do the same kind of color shift during the songs, but then from doom to classic metal or stoner or even slacker grunge. For some tracks a guitar solo just forms an interlude; but for Sub Orbital it comes across as the whole deal. Cause after that majestic solo, the vocals and the entire composition just clicks together like a massive ton of melodic ballast. As if they retooled it until it finally sounded epic enough. And that’s how the entire EP comes across, as if they ripped apart the thing they loved and put things back together haphazardly, and in a much better way than it was before. Against A Falling Sky is complex, dazzling and yet so seemingly effortlessly composed. Heavy, epic and inspired!
