Slift – Ilion 2LP (LOSER Edition Red & Black Vinyl) Discount

Loser Edition on blackened red vinyl. Gatefold jacket with custom dust sleeves. Slift s third album ILION is a towering work of rock music, a steamrolling record that starts at the highest peak and never let s up. If that sounds overwhelming, trust that this Toulouse, France trio have you in good hands. ILION feels massive and oceanic, merging the furious intensity of metal and the wigged-out guitar heroics of psych rock with post-rock s epic sense of scale. ILION is the kind of music where you listen to it and think to yourself, This came from only three people? It sure did, and Slift s utter ferocity is way more than a tempest in a teacup. It reaches outwards for miles and creates new zeniths within unforeseen horizons of rock. ILION is a huge and melodically dense record that at once recalls Godspeed! You Black Emperor s perpetually uplifting surge, the passionate burn of post-hardcore legends… And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, Led Zep s psychotic blues-rock mysticism, and the psychedelic swirl of Swedish greats Goat.
