Colossamite

"Colossamite was a mid-to-late 1990's mathrock band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They were one of the most prominent exponents of the genre. Colossamite's members included Nick Sakes (vocals, electric guitar), Ed Rodriguez (electric guitar), John Dietrich (electric guitar), and Chad Popple (drum set); the group had no bass player.

Rather than relying, as most heavy metal bands, on guitar distortion to produce an intense sound, Colossamite instead often relied on very loud "clean" (undistorted) guitars, played dissonantly, in conjunction with vocals that were screamed rather than sung. Songs featured jarring shifts in tempo and mood, with the overall sound being extremely raw, heavy and often slow..." Taken from wikipedia

This is one of those bands you either like or you don't. With me it was love at first listen. This music is so captivating. Beautiful and ugly at the same time, it's like a dream and a nightmare all together. If you're into weird/smart stuff you should really check them out.

The EP is very good but more linear. More easy listening. I recommend listening to it first as a preparation for the album, which is pleasantly disconcerting. By far one of the most geniusly composed albums I ever heard.
