Our favourite Irish band, Rest, make a rare headline apearance in the lower deck on friday oct 5. Supporting on the night are Bats, who played a killer show warming up for the Locust last week
REST
Instrumental swells ebb and flow as atmospheric density gives way to an ever evolving dynamic shift in direction, which in turn rises to breaking point, via jarring white noise and a crescendo that could possibly be standing on its last legs. A foreboding tension is ever present under an ethereal density and urgency, the resulting sound being an eclectic and continuously evolving undercurrent of melody and noise which looks to envelope the listener. Rest initially began life in late 2001. A demo was recorded and numerous gigs around Ireland with numerous bands followed while the four piece wrote the material for their debut album, Burning in Water Drowning in Flame, released on Out On A Limb Records in 2004. A member departed, and a new mini-album was written and recorded, signaling a change in direction from their decidedly Post-Rock roots, before a new member was duly recruited. The band embarked on their first British tour in April when they supported Swedish post-metal outfit Cult of Luna. In October of 2006, a track from the bands mini-album was used on the Kerrang compilation album, New Breed, alongside a host of new and upcoming British acts. Operation: Impending Doom, was released in January 2007 on Out On A Limb Records. Over two tracks and twenty minutes it offers a significant shift in tone and mood from previous releases. The band head out for some dates around the country in support of the new release in January and February, followed by a support slot on Isis’s last Dublin date at the Temple Bar Music Centre. Currently writing new material for a new album which (we hope) will be out sometime early next year...
