Ruins Upon Ruins

by Daxma

supported by

Ioannis Valiakos Part shoegaze post-rock, part gothic melodies, both songs build up with a calming intensity. If you enjoy losing yourself in sonic landscapes, Daxma will not disappoint. Favorite track: Landslide.

Schafudd So amazingly beautiful. Thank you! Minima Moralia is so fucking beautiful, love everything about it... Can someone please message me who the sample is in the beginning. Favorite track: Minima Moralia.

Shayne Dey This is fucking beautiful! Opioids for the ears. More outstanding work from the Post Wax series.
Favorite track: Minima Moralia.

Dragonsmoke Calm cosmic post-doom that makes you float between the stars. Mesmerizing.

Colin M. I like the almost meandering sound on display here, and the cover of Landslide is rather unexpected and really cool. Favorite track: Landslide.

about

This is the worldwide standard edition of Year One, Volume Two in the PostWax series.

Building on the tectonic foundation of their last album, "The Head Which Becomes the Skull," Oakland's Daxma (pronounced DOCK-ma, the term for a Zoroastrian funerary temple) unveil a record layered with crushing tones, lush melodies and powerful movements. "Ruins Upon Ruins" offers 2 soulful, haunting epic songs (including an astonishing 11-minute cover of "Landslide") perfect for those who love the avante-doom and sprawling explorations of SubRosa, YOB and Godspeed You Black Emperor.

Frost

supported by 177 fans who also own “Ruins Upon Ruins”

I really enjoy this bands previous material and this is from the Post Wax release so I could muster this will be special like the Elder sessions. Check the bands BC page for a sample of what may be in store with this one. If you enjoy the groves and vocals of Holy Grove then you'll love this band. More English than previous work and a tad bit more psychedelic than I recall as well. The Midnight Toker.

Dying on the Mountain
by Big Scenic Nowhere

supported by 165 fans who also own “Ruins Upon Ruins”

Can't say I'm a fan of this band, but desert and stoner doesn't come much better than the vast, epic, twenty minute jam that is Dying on the Mountain. This song is just brilliant. All locked into a bass groove provided by none other than Mr Nick Oliveri (who seems to be behaving himself here!). Master of Alchemy
