The Captain’s Daughter, the debut album from Portland
atmospheric sound exhibitionists EIGHT
BELLS.
Utilizing the
negative space of sound in a way that many other bands would do well to pay heed
to, EIGHT BELLS has created a
masterwork with The Captain’s
Daughter – easily placing themselves in a realm of music that will rarely be
matched this year.” Metal
Psalter calls the record, “a
journey into the far reaches of one’s mind through sound that acts as its own
wordsmith,” Sentire Magazine notes, “The Captains Daughter is a black metal and drone tinged journey through psychedelic doom.
Featuring four tracks over about 30 minutes, each song takes it time exploring
various themes,” while
Unhallowed
Nation gushes, “EIGHT BELLS’ debut album is one the most interesting,
well-performed records I have heard in a while.”
