Herald by Drifter
In the spring of 2022, DRIFTER made an impromptu recording at the historic Liberty Hall theater in Lawrence, KS. The session was recorded live, in a single continuous take, engineered by Aaron Miller with vocal recording, mixing, and mastering done by Eric Graves at the Gravy Cave (ROMAN NUMERALS, ANAKIN, THE ESOTERIC). The resulting songs comprise the band’s debut mini-EP.
On ‘HERALD’ DRIFTER blends dark ambiance, primal noise and rhythmic thunder with crescendos of massive riffs and gnarled melody. ‘HERALD’ is an apocalyptic foreshadowing of things to come!
"rife with heady noise and thundering venom...past big riff sludge and instead...slowly-building and fiercely erupting post-metal in the immersive style of Neurosis. Dark, eerie, beautiful." - TooMuchRock.com
