After months of jamming in the bowels of Manchester creating monstrous grooves, the beast we now know as Raucous finally emerged in 2004 to critical acclaim on the live circuit. Within the past two years supporting underground heavyweights such as Mono (Temporary Residence), Unsane (Relapse), Zombi (Relapse), Pelican (Hydra Head), Red Sparowes (Neurot), 5ive's Continuum Research Project (Tortuga/Hydra Head), Mistress (Earache), Beecher (Earache/Calculated Risk), Ramesses (Invada), Narcosis (Calculated Risk), GWAR, Guapo (Ipecac), Made Out Of Babies (Neurot), Atavist (Invada), Tigers and Little Explorer.
Seven tracks of crushing heaviness interspersed with skewed melody and moments of fragile beauty. This album will please fans of Neurosis as it will fans of Mogwai, such is the variation on display. Themes of regret, despair and moving on nestle alongside epic soaring melodies and low end droning to create what is undoubtedly a stunning debut record for Raucous.
Released by Future Noise Recordings in conjunction with Roadkill Records, Manchester.
