Black Metals is the second single from the upcoming full length, Static Spirit, by Australian shoegazers, Ancient Channels. The song fuses eighties post punk with a hazy psychedelic edge, and draws inspiration from a vivid, unsettling dream of a plane crash. It transforms the tension of that concept into a rich, atmospheric sound filled with disorientation and emotional weight.
Building on the band's trademark post punk basis, the song pushes deeper into immersive terrain, propelled by mesmeric rhythms and shimmering guitar textures that create a slow-burning, shadowy energy. There's a distinct shoegaze influence throughout, blending a tremendous force with a beautiful, dreamlike mood that doesn't dissipate easily.
