Stairland - Shapeless



There should be way more about this band on the internet, but, there is pretty much nothing at all. I got sent this EP about 8 or 9 years ago for review on the Raw Nerve site (now defunct), and as a fan of Meshuggah I loved it instantly. Fans need to hear this, but there is something completely unique about this, the crunching riffs mixed with drum and bass sections, just weird ideas all over the place.

They disbanded in 2004, and there is just this and one other recording called 'Chung' available by them, what a huge shame.

Internet searches revealed very little information about the band at all, so revel in this one folks, this is pure underground heaviness! I despite the term Djent, but, if ever there was something that deserved the label, it's this monster!

Here is a picture that I would name The Land Of Stairs...
