Minsk returns WITH ECHOES IN THE MOVEMENT OF STONE, the eagerly-awaited follow-up to THE RITUAL FIRES OF ABANDONMENT. Produced by Sanford Park and the band, WITH ECHOES burns slow through twisted, psychedelic post-rock with equal parts bombast and deliberation. Songs unfold like the cosmos before collapsing inward under the crushing weight of Minsk's signature wall-of-sound. In the end Minsk succeeds where other bands fail by marrying the range of human emotions with a vast sonic tapestry to create a provocative, stirring and supremely heavy album experience.
