Today CVLT Nation is honored to give a glimpse into the new album by Woman is the Earth slated to be released on Init Records (CD) and Sick Man Getting Sick Records (LP) on June 15, titled Thaw. As you can hear within the furious and shapeshifting knits of the song Dream Collapse Woman is the Earth cover much ground on this new opus of theirs, crawling in and out of light and shadow, and pushing their imagination across vast and ever-changing landscapes made of shimmering shoegaze and post-rock meadows and dreadful abysses of darkened punk and obsidian black metal. While “black metal” is the obvious word to use here, it is somewhat diminutive for a band like this one, who find their pathway and essence in constant change, duality, and ambiguity, always pushing forward to take the listener deeper into the unknown and beyond genres and tags. If you like bands as diverse as Oathbreaker, Wolves In The Throne Room, Fen, Converge, Hexis etc, then your heart will be stolen by this band. Make sure you catch them on tour in Europe this June!
