EXCLUSIVE: AFTER THE BURIAL, “BREAD CRUMBS AND WHITE STONES”

Way back in January I named After the Burial’s as-yet-untitled album as my pick for our Albums That Will Fuck Your Face Off in 2010 series. It’s almost November now, but it’s finally time to let the face-fucking commence.

The album is called In Dreams, and Sumerian Records has announced that it’ll finally come out on November 23rd. Take an exclusive listen to the first track to be released from the album, “Bread Crumbs and White Stones,” below. For a track that clocks in at just 3 and a half minutes it displays a remarkable array of everything in After the Burial‘s sonic palette: it’s crushing, it’s melodic; there’s shred, there’s chug; it’s fast and it’s slow; it’s kinda hard to believe how short this song is given all that happens in it, and it’s a testament to why I like this band so much in the first place. And yes, it is most certainly fucking my face off. Have a listen, then tell us what you think in the comments.
