Ahleuchatistas
![]()
Third and best yet from this amazing instrumental, post-Beefheart, avant-technical, improv-core, math-metal, art-damage, punk-rock power trio from Asheville, NC. Using the simple and classic skeleton of guitar, bass and drums, these three make powerful music that is undeniably 'rock' but is also undeniably much wider in musical influences than what one would imagine in such rock-based work.

It seems that Ahleuchatistas' fourth album (their second for Cuneiform Records) takes everything one step further. At least, that is the impression one gets after each listen: tighter, more frantic, more creative, more restless -- more. It might even be more subtle. In the field of math rock, where complexity, intricacy, and virtuosity are essential, groups often achieve these key elements at the cost of feeling.

Despite switching drummers, Ahleuchatistas continue to refine and develop their sound on Of the Body Prone. They offer up hyper-complex, turn-on-a-dime compositions that range from crushingly heavy to quite pretty. This is music that demands attention; it is decidedly not background music. In the past, tracks were generally on the short side, almost as though there wasn't the stamina for the tracks to be longer. That's not the case here, where only a few tracks are under three minutes long, and the op [ read more ]
