AYAHUASCA – Streaming New Full Length In Its Entirety

Toronto-based progressive sludge-tinged grunge misfits AYAHUASCA will release their Yin full-length tomorrow. In celebration of its official unveiling, The Sludgelord is offering a stream of the record in its tantalizing entirety noting, “through their channeling of dark and beguiled grunge dirges and the booming sonic intensity of doom, [they] conjure a sound that is as depressing as it is uplifting. Major tones, specifically through a vocal intonation reminiscent of the late Layne Stayley, are haunted with dread and despair, minor tones meanwhile peppered with hope. On Yin they have birthed the bastard child of two emotions to one that isn’t explicitly either, but its circus freak upbringing – its replication of some many familiar sounds pieced together in an unfamiliar way – is what makes it such an engrossing listen.”

Take in Yin at THIS LOCATION.

Yin, the result of a musical experiment conceived by guitarist and engineer Luke Roberts (aka Berserk Lout), was captured by Roberts (except drums which were recorded by Greg Dawson) and mixed and mastered by Greg Dawson at BWC Studios. In a recent investigation of the record, Last Rites crowns Yin, “one of the best hard rock albums to grace my ears in recent memory. It is a multifaceted journey through countless influences that are seamlessly woven into an original and extremely refined sound by three expert musicians. It features earworming vocal melodies, tons of fun rhythmic tricks, plenty of progressive rock tendencies, and a serious knack for riffs both simple and twitchy. Point is, it’s a no-brainer for anyone that has ever had even a passing taste for grunge, sludge, or several other hard rock styles of the ’90s. ”

Yin will be available on September 9th via the band’s official BandCamp page HERE.
