this band is not metal, but they make slow, gloomy pretty music so maybe some people who like katatonia will like them with me. i dont work for the band or anything, i just want to share my discovery.
"In late summer of '98 disgusted and disillusioned, Adam Fox turned his back on the subways and plastic, packaged lifestyle of Canada's largest city and stole back to the geographically bankrupt facelessness of southwestern Ontario. Spurned by a fresh disdain for all things metropolitan and the passionless-ness of contemporary modern music, Fox chose to draw from the dry wells and empty stretches of side roads to form ten year drought. The band developed at a methodical pace, allowing their style to unfold organically".
if you can find the tracks "harlem" or "just landed", especially 'just landed' somewhere online you will dig. the dudes official site is at www.swervedriver.com and i think there is stuff at www.toshackhighway.com but i think thats not actually their site. more gloomy, pretty, melancholy, british...
Try to get their 'Terre De Sacha' CD. Once I went through a street in the city I study and saw them performing their music. I stood there amazed for about one hour and bought immediately their album. It was the first (and until now the last) time something like this happened to me. Brilliant.
