Besides puffing on the sweet leaf to alter my mind, deep, deep apocalyptic bass tones can change the way of the world. I’m a firm believer in the power of the bass as a tool of healing one’s spirit, or it can be used as an instrument to open up the third eye. One way for me to get my proper dose of the low end vibrations I need is to have the right amount of doom injected into my system. Aseethe are a band that hooks me with the kind of slow-moving, monolithic doom dirge I need to reset my spirit. On their new album, Reverent Burden, these heavy wizards from Iowa build huge sonic walls around your brain, with heavy energy that is not meant for the mentally weak! Aseethe has a way of creating songs that at their foundation have a meditative quality. While I have my head wrapped around the audio vortex that this band puts me in, I feel the creative honesty vibrating from Aseethe’s music. The riffs on Reverent Burden move in slow motion, only to reveal ancient cave writing carved into the darkest parts of our being. I really dig the way Aseethe weaves threads of drone in & out of the heavy space that surrounds every moment of what they create. When I listen to this band, I hear blues buried deep down under the astral dirge that they conjure up! When you allow yourself to float away off into their atmosphere, you will be able to hear them speak even though no words are being spoken – the cosmic soil that this band plants their music in will speak to you! When Aseethe lays down waves of feedback, they do it in a way that is majestic & fucking awesome. Within the space that this band manifests is where you will find the answers that only doom can provide! Check some rad downloads & vinyl info after the jump!
