Realms Of The Metaphysical

The third album by Hamilton New Zealand's psychedelic stoner doom trio Arc of Ascent!

Arc of Ascent's full-length debut, 2010's Circle of the Sun, blended sitar, tanpura, and expressive Eastern influences on tripped-and-tranced-out tunes. Their follow-up, 2012's The Higher Key, was more stripped down and burly, but it also featured a heady mix of weedian adventures and dramatic jaunts into the far reaches.

"The album's got plenty of dynamic physicality and all the tonal magnitude required. But, more importantly, it thrums with that transfixing, almost subliminal energy that's underscored Arc of Ascent's appeal since day one." - sixnoises.com
