Sannhet
Revisionist
Usually, I'm not one for instrumental acts that aren't purely electronica, but every once in a great while, a band will emerge that makes me revise my outlook. Explosions in the Sky was such a band, with compositions that were entirely compelling and never boring. Sannhet, I'm glad to say, is another. In a two-week period of musical doldrums, Sannhet's Revisionist is a bright spot against the never-ending cycle of snow and ice that is the Northeast this time of year. The thing that makes Revisionist great isn't just the brilliant drums, or the ethereal guitar work, it's that every song is structured so that it could have lyrics--like a paint-by-numbers for metal squall. But even with words completely absent, Sannhet's second album manages to be more lyrical than opera, and more expressive than an aria.
