I don’t know much about Castevet. Their MySpace lists three band members, one of whom drums for Copremesis. That’s about it. I do know, however, that their debut 7″ (Paragon, 2009, streamable here) is what I’ve listened to the most for weeks. Its two songs recall greats – Voivod, Morbid Angel, Deathspell Omega. They drape elegant dissonance over driving low end. The result feels distant, foggy, dirty, and emotional. Usually metal’s presentation is singular – in-your-face, shrouded, etc. This experience, however, has both foreground and background. These songs are small worlds; I want to see their universe. A full-length, recorded by Colin Marston, is due out next year. Resistance will be futile.

I’m not sure, but is this the former guitarist and bassist from Biolich? Those two and a drummer once played a show under that name and I saw it and really dug it (Rock Star Bar maybe a year and a half ago, possibly with Tombs?), and it sounds like what you’re describing. It makes sense because I think Biolich’s music was released on Paragon also. I might just be really confused, though.
Anyway, I’ll listen to this stuff soon.
Good call – at least the Biolich guitarist is in Castevet. Thanks for the tip.
is there a dearth of band names? 2 bands that I’ve heard of in one year with a not-that-common sounding name.
the guitarist is andrew from biolich, and the drummer is Ian who was in Pillory i’m not sure who the third member is.
