Rated: ***

The three from Sheffield, UK that go by the name Gozer, (which actually means 'dude' in Dutch) are about to release their debut album An Endless Static. Where you will get to hear three of the four members of Archelon shift into the blackgaze, postdoom, atmospheric sludge that would become the Gozer project. Apparently recorded during the final hours of Archelon’s existence the five tracks give you this deep and dark, destitute and dream state metal that moves into more black territories as easily as it turns to post-rock. Harsh and brutal vocals hang over the compositions like a thunderstorm that’s about to break. Especially on the with French horn and keys embellished third track A Fading Light; where the tension keeps building and building and building till the inevitable top… Where it will push you over unsure if you are able to fly. An Endless Static might take a bit of extra effort to really absorb; but with the dynamic shifts, variations in momentum and the misty, sinister, yet all so clear post metal meets doom atmosphere there is enough noise to get lost in. And you might be lost forever in An Endless Static…
