Post-Metal You Need to Hear: CONSTELLATIA “In Acclamation”

Published

October 30, 2019

What if Cocteau Twins and Cult of Luna got together? Their output might sound something like CONSTELLATIA – this South African band has paired dreamy, overwhelming soundscapes with driving percussion and guttural vocals to create an epic and gorgeous record in The Language of Limbs. I am seriously blown away by this record; it takes so many twists and turns, but it’s a seamless and utterly captivating listen. The Language of Limbs is a must-have for anyone into post metal; it comes out on November 15th via Isolation Records, and it can be pre-ordered right here. Today we’re honored to be sharing their track “In Acclamation” with you below:

“In Acclamation” is the second song we wrote for The Language of Limbs. With this song, we wanted to branch out into a slightly different direction than we did with with “All Nights Belong To You”, exploring more progressive and epic ideas while retaining the interesting dynamics, seamless transitions and romantic chord progressions.
