Weakling. As dead as dreams.

Just thought I would make a very quick post before going to bed about a bloody amazing band I just started listening to called Weakling.
I heard about them in a conversation discussing Wolves In The Throne Room (another band you shall learn that I adore!)
Quick history: San Francisco based, one album released in 2000, never toured, disbanded in 2000.
Basically all I can say is that these are quite possibly some of the best long (shortest is 10:28, longest is 20:39) songs I have listened in the the progressive/black metal genre.
Compared to other bands under the same genre umbrella, these guys are somewhat on the black side of things. A lot of bands in this genre seem to either have acoustic passages or a lot of ambience.
Not Weakling. Consistently distorted guitars and light keyboards. Brilliance!
Enough fapping, its too late and I’m too tired to do a track by track rundown so I’ll give you the epic title track to listen to. There is a very short wiki of them but it lists all the other bands the members are now affiliated with
Enjoy!
‘Dead as Dreams’
