about

While Ryan Parrish might be best known through his drumming for heavier artists like City Of Caterpillar, Suppression, Mammoth Grinder, Iron Reagan, Terminal Bliss and Darkest Hour or to a lesser extent through his gentler, more experimental work with Years and Harmonic Cross, his first release as Slow Burning Rage manages to draw on both the visceral and cerebral halves of his output, fusing them in unpredictable configurations that produce something far greater than the sum of its respective parts.

A quick listen might produce a few vague points of reference - Painkiller’s tormented free jazz sludge, This Heat’s uneasy post-punk, the brutal prog of Ruins or Guapo, the shredded ambience of early Tim Hecker - but the album taken as a totality becomes an immersive experience full of sharp twists and turns, never resting on one approach or aesthetic for long. From the harsh eruption of free jazz sax on the opener “Agonal Gasp,” to the rumbling madness of “Dark Thunder...” (provided by a drum orchestra that includes members of Inter Arma, Municipal Waste, Windhand, Avail, and Suppression amongst about a dozen other percussionists) to radiant drone of “Transience,” to the placid harp-driven atmospheres of closer “...Crystal Nebula,” no tidy summation of this album could possibly capture the unbridled creativity contained therein.

Parrish is adamant that this not be considered a solo album and, with the list of contributors being what it is, one can see why. But through an expansive and eclectic set of influences and collaborators it stands as a testament to both his curatorial abilities and his unique ear for sonic world-building. As a concise statement of purpose that still manages to contain multitudes the album acts as a reminder to listeners that, in a world full of uninspired genre-molded imitators, the possibility for new and captivating approaches to sound still exists.
