The Line, It's Width and the War Drone

This is the companion book to Rebreather's fifth full-length LP, 'The Line, Its Width, and the War Drone', via Aqualamb Records. Youngstown, Ohio noise rock / sludge metal band Rebreather creates punishing, tenacious, and metallic music that seethes and breathes. More than a barrage of stark noise and earthen sludge, Rebreather creates songs; glorious, winding songs that allow dissonant, harmonic guitar/bass tones to soothe before they strike, drumming that builds and then batters, and vocals that display a powerful, shimmering vulnerability.

Produced by Rebreather and mastered by Carl Saff (John Carpenter, Bongzilla, Elder), 'The Line, Its Width, and the War Drone' takes trickles from both the band's past releases and 20 years experience and coalesces the trio's "cave pop" into a roaring river of soaring sound. Flush with oddly accessible, dazzlingly tight metalcraft, ominous, propulsive basslines, and a rampaging rhythmic verve, the record's widescreen sheen gleams with a mercurial mystique befitting of only the most tight-knit, veteran units.
