Ceased Sunfire – The Divide
| September 29, 2023 | Independent |
| Album | Digital | 47:41 | 9 tracks |
| Stoner Metal Stoner Doom | Helsinki Finland |
Riffs that roar like thunder, vocals that grind like sand paper, and a sonic landscape that resembles burned soil define the sound that Ceased Sunfire present on their longplayer The Divide. The Finnish band tells of fake friends, running from one’s own inner demons, and the polarisation that consequently divides our human society. In these dark days at the brink of doom, we do not need no apocalyptic literature, reading the news is sufficient. The Divide is the soundtrack of a burning world.

And it came to pass in those days thatunder the roof of composer and maestro Kamalesh Maitra, Mila Morgenstern and Michael Merkelbach met. This happened in the 1970s, when escapists coined both the Western world and the Indian subcontinent culturally. Now, the cassette M⁴+½ has been released via tomatenplatten, and it is a mind-expanding journey that goes far beyond th realms of Krautrock, Jazz, and Bhangra. So, lean back and let the magic happen.
