'A Column of Smoke by Day, A Pillar of Fire by Night' is an overlooked masterpiece of the Level-Plane, Init and React With Protest Records' era of 2000-2007. I can't do this band justice, so I will attempt to entice possible listeners by quickly explaining RATS INTO ROBOTS using band comparisons. RATS INTO ROBOTS have:
  • the spaciness of Cave In
  • the intensity of Orchid and Ed Gein
  • the complimentary overlapping layers of Neil Perry
  • a sound that fans of Schlatter Bands; Capacities, In First Person, Black Kites, The Assistant and This Ship Will Sink will appreciate, all with additional, trippy atmospherics
  • speed-metal riffs here and there, check out "The Sleep of Reason Breeds Monsters" and "Froze in a Maze" for prime examples
  • probably the most intensity on record, this shit is in your face.
Do yourself a goddamn solid and check out this band. They belong on my list of phenomenal bands that few people talk about. That list also includes Loftus and an upcoming review of Back When.
