Scottish post-metal sextet Beneath a Steel Sky are thrilled to announce the full premiere of their debut album, Cleave, via WherePostRockDwells, just ahead of its official release tomorrow, January 24th, via Ripcord Records! Stream the full album here. The record is already making waves, receiving glowing praise from some of the top names in heavy music:
Metal Hammer (UK): “Forlorn atmospheres reign on post-metal newcomers’ stunning debut.”
Heavy Blog Is Heavy: “A massive-yet-meditative wall of sound that captures the group’s origins as an instrumental project while injecting deeper wells of emotion with harsh vocals.”
Decibel Magazine: “The new record is dark, atmospheric, and heavy, blending emotional themes with deep and heavy tones.”
The Razor’s Edge: “A good first offering from this six-piece, give it a listen and look out for them playing a show nearby!”
Echoes and Dust: “Beneath a Steel Sky has crafted a simply perfect album with Cleave. The majesty of it sits in the balance of weight; it is calm enough that I have used it to fall asleep yet heavy enough that I can blast it during the day and lose myself headbanging along.” Born out of the bleakness and uncertainty of the Coronavirus lockdown in 2020, Beneath a Steel Sky began as an instrumental project and has since evolved into a full band ensemble. With their sights set on the future, the band is gearing up for the release of Cleave, which promises to showcase their growth and unique sound by blending atmospheric elements with heavy riffs.
Across seven tracks, Cleave takes listeners on a deeply emotional journey through desolate and contemplative landscapes, making occasional detours into more intense territories characterized by thunderous rhythms and earth-shifting riffs. Pre-orders are now available at this location. |
