RYE WOLVES hail from the murky depths of the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA. 'Oceans of Delicate Rain' is their first full length recording and showcases the band's extraordinary talents at songwriting and musicianship across all that is heavy. From canyons of psyched out doom into stratospheric bottom heavy spacerock, RYE WOLVES traverse a globe swathed in oceans of discordant metal and mountains of math rock.
Being only three strong, RYE WOLVES is truly a group effort with all members equally contributing to the crushing audio barrage. RYE WOLVES are one of those rare bands who manage to both challenge and entertain the listener by turns. From the ferocious opener 'Frank Miller' to the subtle menace of 'Blood Moon' and on to the epic 11 minute plus 'No Matter' that closes the album, RYE WOLVES bring a mixed palette of the ultra heavy with complex and demanding sounds and time signatures, and a living breathing vitality of essence.
With mastering duties provided by audio genius James Plotkin, 'Oceans of Delicate Rain' shreds speakers and buries nations under its epic, monumental sound.
This has been on repeat for me all day. One of the top releases for 2008. Think Pelican if they made better, heavier music and had really fucking awesome vocals (case in point, track 3: Precipice).
