You should have caught on by now to the fact that one of the things I like in my heavy music is some density. Sure, I like technicality, speed, progressiveness, but there's something to be said for density: that quality of a song having a lot of layers, a lot of parts contributing to the whole.
I would put British band The Mire on a list of bands with some density to them. They've got some layers and some atmosphere to their post-metal, as well as some sludgy abrasiveness, some dirty-sounding dissonance, and some straight up epic moments. It's hard to succinctly pin down what these guys do, but it's worth at least a few minutes of your time for sure.
Let's say about five minutes, shall we? "False Idols" is the first full track on The Mire's latest LP, Glass Cathedrals, a really solid record that gets into your head after a couple of listens. Have a listen, come up with a better way of describing The Mire and Glass Cathedrals, and leave a comment below.
