Band: Long Distance Calling
Album: Avoid The Light
Released: 2009
Label: Superball Music
Long Distance Calling formed in 2006 in Münster Germany, approaches
post-rock from a progressive metal perspective. They have released two singles and
three full-length albums, all of which were received very positively by
critics: Satellite Bay (2007),
Avoid the Light (2009) and
Long Distance Calling (2011). Avoid the
Light, their second album, offers six mid-length pieces (between seven and
twelve minutes). Five of them are instrumentals and one, the "The Nearing Grave"
features Katatonia frontman Jonas Renkse on lead vocals. It is the only song on
the album, and the only track where Long Distance Calling sound like an
ordinary hard rock/prog metal band. As it is, Avoid the Light is a strong
attempt at an alternative form of instrumental rock.
