North Carolina power trio Irata reaches a new milestone with the release of the massive full length “Human” which is the result of a thoughtful evolution characterized by a distinct heavy rock style and a subtle melancholia.
“Altar” introduces the band’s sonic manifesto with a strong rhythmic section and contemplative vocal harmonies matching the bittersweet melodic guitars.
“Confessions” acquires extra heaviness and confidence through the gritty guitar sound and the exciting groovy dynamics fueled by monumental drumming.
The raw energy of “Seeds” generates loud guitars and imposing bass riffs amplifying distortion and cool stoner vibes to build another groovy rhythmic ensemble.
“Slipped” adds a progressive touch delivering energetic riffage and syncopated rhythmic patterns fueled by precise drum blasts and monolithic bass lines.
“Daystar” brings a moody closure as mellow vocals express genuine sentiments and the recurring comforting melodies certainly highlight a reflective momentum.
Irata certainly aim to keep a spontaneous songwriting approach throughout “Human” shaping a personal vision that relies on a balanced mix of warm melodies and intricate riffing.

Heavy rock instrumentalists Seven Planets search for absolute freedom embarking on a cosmic journey into the unknown perfectly embodied by the cathartic grooves of the third full length “Explorer”. 

It feels good to space out listening to “Vanguard” as the excellent guitar work leads the way to big grooves and acidic melodies that showcase a warm bluesy approach as well as a taste for psychedelia. 

With a laid back atmosphere “Plain Truth In A Homespun Dress” focuses on elaborate slow burning guitar melodies that continue to channel a strong psychedelic flair and later the guitar work will also deliver some wild fancy progressions. 

It’s not surprising that the title track makes you dream of exploring new galaxies with the fluid atmospheric arrangements surrounding the spacey guitar phrases that once again will evolve into a more complex jamming session. 

“Seven Seas” continues to revolve around otherworldly themes and the desire to escape reality grows within the soulful bluesy guitar progressions and the bouncy bass lines that often emphasize the full blown psychedelic essence.  

The pace gets faster on “The Buzzard” and consequently the rhythmic section generates heavier bold grooves full of catchy & fuzzy riffs while the guitar leads still have the chance to craft evocative melodic waves. 

The cosmic force and the spaced out vibes of “Explorer” will make you feel dazed and happy as Seven Planets showcase their incredible musicianship and spontaneous jam style songwriting.
