“with a plethora of mood and tempo changes….this album is a crucial moment for the band and genre alike.” - The Obelisk "If there’s ever a decent remake of Dune, I look forward to Minsk soundtracking a sandworm attack.” - Decibel “a slice of brilliance” – Metal Hammer "Their atmospheric, arty metal and prog-y dirges aim equally for the head and the gut." - PUNK PLANET
Chicago's MINSK reemerge from a six year hiatus with their biggest and finest record yet, 'The Crash And The Draw'. Rooted in the post-metal landscape that brought us bands like Neurosis and Isis, with 'The Crash And The Draw' MINSK step out from the shadows of the giants of their genre to create a psychedelic blend of melodic tribal heaviness. The wait was worth it, as MINSK have delivered one of the year's best and most forward thinking metal records of the year.
