The Well – …and flames ran like living animals (Levitation Edition)

Description

A heavy psych rock/proto-metal power trio based out of Austin, Texas, The Wells lethal blend of knotty prog, punk, and bluesy doom rock invokes names like Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, Sleep, and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. Citing a desire to blend different musical styles as diversified as Joy Division to Blue Cheer, the band, which consists of Ian Graham, Lisa Alley, and Jason Sullivan, came together in 2012 out of a shared love for extreme music, cult horror films, and dark mysticism. That same year they released their limited-edition debut 7 Seven. The bands 2013 EP, First Trip, caught the attention of Riding Easy Records, who quickly signed the trio, leading to the release of their full-length debut, Samsara, in 2014.

The bands new full-length, …and flames ran like living animals, takes their Psych-meets-Classic-Metal formula and ups the ante with heavier riffs and mysterious imagery.
