NEWS - Mountainscape - "Traversing Realms" Cinematic Post-Metal

For fans of: Russian Circles | Inter Arma | Telepathy | If These Trees Could Talk

Mountainscape are a cinematic post-metal band from Reading, England, formed in 2019 and featuring the talents of drummer James Scrivener and guitarist Dan Scrivener – both formerly of Traces, Aklash and Saturnian - along with bassist Ethan Bishop, who also plays with Cairiss. Their first album, Acceptance, was released in early 2021 and was followed by 2022s Atoms Unfurling and 2024s Iridescent. Iridescent in particular garnered an array of critical acclaim upon its release, with Veil Of Sound describing it as “a luminous triumph, a testament to the power of music to move, inspire, and transcend.” Some bands may have found creating an album to follow in Iridescent’s respected footsteps a daunting challenge, but for Mountainscape it simply became a basecamp from which to explore new territories, to reach further and discover more. Different pathways opened up before the band as they began to write, pathways that lead them to Traversing Realms – a unique album, a journey through the music and works of imagination that had inspired their own creative endeavours.
