Conifer Was A Five-Piece Instrumental Sludge / Post-Metal From Portland Maine United States Formed In 2002. Though Conifer Has Received Quite A Bit Of Critical Praise They've Somehow Managed To Live Off The Grid For The Past Seven Years. Not Easily Pigeon-Holed By A Set Genre Mixing Post-Rock Krautrock Metal And Psychedelia In A Very Loud Way They Have Created A Relentlessly Driving And Hypnotic Whirlwind. Minimal Ethereal Passages Are Narcotically Lengthened And Crescendos Of Distortion Are Sustained Well Beyond The Boundaries Adhered To By Many Of Their Peers. Welcoming Dense Riffage Washes Over The Listener Referencing Pan Asian Themes Despair And Musical Manifest Destiny. An Evolving Monster Throughout Its Years They Started As Math Rock Became More Psychedelicized Via Doom Now Are Breathing And Churning Like A Shrieking Metal Amon Duul II Spewing Forth Soaring Early Scorpions-Esque Solos Contorted And Out Of Control As A Speeding Train Wreck Towards Guru Guru Land. "Heavy" By Being Beat/repetition Heavy In A Way That Is Practically Reminiscent Of Electronic Kraut Discipline....Yet Just As Loud And Massive As Ever. Band Split Up In 2009.

Conifer Sleepily Trawl Through The Dark Recesses Of Post Rock Taking The Languorous Slow Burning Churn Of Bands Like Slint Or Seam Or Bastro All Dark And Brooding Simple And Insistent And Stretching The Riffs And Melodies Into Expansive Stretches Of Moody Melancholy Swathed In Pink Floydian Swoosh And Whirl Before Dropping The Bomb.

A Lot Of This Does Definitely Sound Like Isis Neurosis Pelican Or Buried At Sea Which Is Obviously A Good Thing But More Often It Sounds Like A Doom-Sludge A Minor Forest Or A Post Rock Boris Or A Very Metal Slint.
