About Me |
|
They've been called "the worlds only industrial metal jam band" and "the most original band in Michigan." Who are these mysterious psychedelic warlords? It can only be Kalamazoo's HARVYST. HARVYST have been creating post-apocalyptic screamscapes, tranquil ambience, and industrial improv since 1999, and since 2005 with the current lineup. The HARVYST sound consists of extreme metal crossed with industrial, with a healthy dose of improvisational jamming, and promises to provide a unique listening experience. HARVYST's second demo, Winter, was picked up and released by AcidVictim Records in 2005. In 2006, up and coming label Records of Voztik , encouraged by the strength of Winter and HARVYST's dynamic and entertaining live show, offered to release the next recording. HARVYST is currently holed up in Zypotic Studio recording their first full-length album, "Lysergency Resolute," and continue their aural assault on venues around the Midwest and beyond. "very dark sounding and infinitely layered into a pulsing force of electronic perversity ... there is a definite musical excitement on display here" -Worm Gear "a shamanistic journey into the mind's neurons ... Harvyst masterfully utilize the principles of industrial metal" -Metal Mayhem "like an old Pink Floyd album fed through a meat-grinder ... if youre intrigued by the idea of Fear Factory on mushrooms, visit Harvyst online at www.harvyst.com" -Grave Concerns "While they do have a death metal edge for a majority of their music, there are a ton of other styles they cull their sound from such as industrial metal and jam band music to an almost Ambient and Noise sound ... this makes Harvyst sound like no other band out there" -Metal Coven "A mix of mid paced black metal/prog rock and atmospheric industrial with muffled, gargling vocals and creepy, distorted samples ... these dudes need to come out with a full-length album, because I highly suspect that what is displayed here is going to be the beginning of something really cool." -Bogus Rendition |
