Mental Architects [BG] + Kultika [TM]

Descriere

Mental Architects are a post-rock band with punk and prog edges sticking out chaotically from any side you reach for. Imagine what you know about post-rock, take out all of the melodrama, add some amplifier worship and you get us. Formed in 2001, one EP and two LPs later, we will present our atest work with a tour across Romania that will also mark another big change for the band - playing as a duo. The band has worked on previous releases with Aaron Harris (ex-ISIS), Chris Common (ex-TAAS) & Andrew Schneider.

Kultika is a post-metal band from Timisoara Romania consisting of Jack Popescu (vocals & guitars), Fulmineos (guitar), Marcel Iovanov (bass guitar), and Sergiu Nădăban (drums). Though the band started as a black metal outfit in 2008, after line-up changes and experimenting with new concepts and music, Kultika is now the product of different influences from progressive or post-rock to doom, sludge and other metal acts, which can now only be defined as post-metal.

A mixture between a powerful sense of intimacy and violent lamentations, the music of Kultika isn’t an attempt at groundbreaking never-before heard music – it is simply the musical expression of its members and their influence; a musical composure void of the individual but filled with personality.
