David Hutchison Pelican is better,but you can hear them in there lol Favorite track: L.Layer.

albinobone They named it 'Actual Existence'. As an habitual postmodernist, I've secretly yearned for someone to tell me what really 'is.' What a relief to finally find it! It's been so exhausting to continually suspend the drawing of conclusions about 'reality.' Well, here are those conclusions. And they're just effing great.

Brent Baron So happy I was able to get this LP. A win in my direction and anyone who is thinking about this, u won't stop listening to it (and learning some killer phrases from it as well) Favorite track: L.Layer.

about

Chicago-based experimental rock trio RLYR (pronounced “Relayer”) are proud to present their sophomore album Actual Existence, a four song full-length that distills and expands on the explosive energy and anthemic catharses of the band’s 2016 debut Delayer. Comprising Steven Hess (Locrian, Cleared), Colin DeKuiper (Bloodiest, ex-Russian Circles), and Trevor Shelley de Brauw (Pelican, Chord), RLYR’s indelible earworm melodies belie the intricacy and labryinthian structures of their songs. Actual Existence represents a step forward in complexity for the instrumental band, while preserving the exhilarating climaxes and frenetic intensity that are hallmarks of their live performances.

The most austere Russian Circles release yet. But in restraint these tracks find new levels of heavy. Nowhere is this more evident than the closing of the third track, "Gnosis". That shit is savage. Absolutely primal. rettisawesome
