Album Review: Junius - Days Of The Fallen

Sitting somewhere between shoegaze and post-metal, the new release from Boston natives Junius sees them return with an intensified fire. Beautifully apocalyptic, the band has added orchestral elements to their already lush sound, which bring a remarkable sense of urgency given their relatively calm, peaceful nature. They've also added a few distorted screams to the vocal mix, which previously only included smooth crooning reminiscent of The Cure. With four tracks each introduced by four ambient interludes, it's the perfect length for a quick astral journey and dynamic enough to hit repeat a few times.
