Blowout Presents
- A Burial at Sea -
Irish-born, A Burial at Sea made waves in 2018 when, bursting with bombastic creativity, the '...And The Sum Of Its Parts' EP turned the traditionally austere post-rock frown upside down. A Burial at Sea subsequently spent months on tour in support, honing their incendiary craft and gaining a loyal fan base across Europe in the process, playing in festivals such as Dunk! (BE), Colossal (DK), ArcTanGent (GB) and Bergmal (SW). From these performances they have gained a tour support for ASWIYFA, and local support shows for Caspian, Tera Melos and This Will Destroy You.
The 2020 self-titled, released with Moment of Collapse, draws influence from emo, to math rock, to hardcore punk, and even black metal. A cascade of brass-fuelled euphoria arcs across the velvet night as infinite waves of guitar delay lap at a shore both familiar and foreign; explorative, optimistic and triumphant.
The collectives first new music since the eponymous debut full-length in 2020, 'Close To Home' is a breathtaking evolution of their unique, brass-led blend of shoegaze post-rock that draws inspiration, influence and insight from the rich Gaelic cultural heritage of their Irish homeland. Whilst the band's penchant for blistering post-hardcore velocity is a welcome presence, 'Close To Home' shows that A Burial at Sea aren't afraid to turn the volume down as well.
Plus Special Guests : Stealth Cat / Aaronson
