From this beige landscape comes the din of piles of vintage amplifiers.<\/p>\n<p>Eerie&#8217;s debut album <em>Volumetric Addiction<\/em> is a collection of sounds devoted to anxiety and depression played through the <em>sickest<\/em> gear. The songs within do so much more than wallow in a bad mood. These melodic and introspective compositions recall early <strong>Pelican<\/strong> with tone soaked in 70s hard rock. Get a solid taste of the sludge in store for you with opening track &#8220;And Graciously the Maw Opens, Accepting the 11th Sacrifice&#8221;, a mostly instrumental 9-minute journey through doom and yearning guitar lines.<\/p>\n<p>Last year the band put out a new record called <em>Ostensoric Night Dream<\/em>. Unfortunately, the record isn&#8217;t streaming and it looks like physical orders aren&#8217;t available through any store front at the moment.
