Release
Description:
Analysis of Bison Kills are the band formerly known as Tear Gas and Plate Glass. Formed in 2001, the core duo of brothers Matthew and Nathan Dick released their debut self titled demo to positive reviews in the underground metal press. Backed by a drum machine, the two piece carved out oppressive slabs of sludge doom in the vein of British greats such as Electric Wizard, Iron Monkey and Godflesh.
Driven to progress their sound and branch out beyond the conventional doom/sludge template, Analysis of Bison Kills recruited Dutch drummer Andries v.d. Boom. Their new rhythm section brought with him years of experience and a fluid technical drum style informed by jazz, funk and death metal. With this new line up intact AOBK recorded their second demo “The Sea Stranded Whipjack”. With this release the band’s sound had progressed beyond their roots, delivering everything from cerebral busy riffing to slow motion doom dirges tinged with electronic experimentation. This second release met with glowing reviews in Terrorizer, Rock Sound and various online publications.
AOBK were soon signed to Sound Devastation Records and work began on ‘Vantage’, a four song 30 minute mini album. Again, the band’s line up expanded, adding Scott Tyrell on bass guitar. Now a fully formed unit AOBK travelled to Holland to record their debut album for Sound Devastation Records.
On ‘Vantage’ AOBK continue to set themselves apart from their peers, straying far enough from current trends to deliver fresh sounding multifaceted heavy music. This unique act have continued to grow far beyond their doom/sludge roots into something truly special.
