PIJN
SIGNATURE BREW, LONDON
Post-metal heirs apparent fuse gravity and grace
DESPITE HAVING JUST one fulllength album to their name, Manchester collective Pijn (pronounced ‘pine’) are already spoken of in hushed tones in post-metal circles. Their grandiose elegies to loss provide comfort to those familiar with the seven stages of grief, and musically, they encompass an immense spectrum, swinging evocatively between the droning calm of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and the viscous heaviness of Isis at their most enflamed.
