Dark and heavy but satisfying like your favorite stout, local band Minsk have a brand new album released by Relapse. Their first release since 2009, The Crash and The Draw stands out from its doomy post metal brethren with interesting percussion, layered vocals, and thoughtful progressions. Named after the capital of Belarus, the band found inspiration from the city's remoteness and its history of destruction and rebuilding. Minsk formed in 2002 with roots in Peoria and Chicago and they are currently finishing a tour in Europe with Floor. You can hear them in rotation on CHIRP Radio and at their website www.thesoundofminsk.com.
