Were excited to offer you the new album by Swiss post-rockersCar Crash Weather, an eclectic blend of exhilarating prog and chunky post-metal titledTerra Nostrathats destined to get on your heavy rotation playlist!Terra Nostra(meaningOur Earth) is more than a simple record, its a concept album exploring the deep connection between man and nature and exposing the deep contradictions in this relationship. As the name suggests, humans depend and rely on nature for their survival, yet, often times see themselves as above nature and use it to their own vested interests. The tragedy and inescapable irony of our human condition is perfectly captured in this 36-minute-long sonic journey, an album that explores musically and dares mentally. The listener will in fact be invited to think and reflect on these issues, and the role we all play in changing the course of the events. Throughout the listening experience, questions will be asked but no clear answers given, its up to ones own liberal interpretation to think, to find out, and to act accordingly.

Musically,Terra Nostradoesnt stray too far from the path of some of its sacred predecessors. Hints and homages toRussian Circles,Caspian,We Lost the Sea, are clearly audible and recognisable from the get-go, yetCar Crash Weatherinfuse their music with a peculiar proggy character, never shying away from using synths for added volume and ambiance. The end result is convincingly cathartic, yet diverse enough to keep the listener attentive and engaged for the whole run time. For its more political and experimental side,Terra Nostradoes wink to the big prog bands of the 1970s such asBanco del Mutuo SoccorsoandPFMand their playful nature paired with a mature and critical intent. And the addition of rocky breakdowns is just added bonus value. In the end, it is this sapient mix of robust riffing with more delicate and elegant compositional weavings, that elevatesTerra Nostrato a higher level, amongst the classics of the genre. A true gem hidden deep underground in the bowels of the Earth thats been dug up and now deserves your attention!
