Chicago's Minsk reemerge from a six year hiatus with their biggest and finest record yet, The Crash & The Draw. Rooted in the post-metal landscape that brought us bands like Neurosis and Isis, with The Crash & 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.
