ALBUM An Ache for the Distance (Profound Lore)
SOUND On their second LP, the Atlas Moth continue the post-metal sludge journey they began with 2009’s Glorified Piece of Blue Sky. This time out, the three-guitarist band upped its songwriting chops and managed to artfully merge black metal, stoner rock, psych blues and jazzy metal over nine powerful eclectic songs.

“You wanted me to come on your track and do something in a Spanish style. I thought, ‘I have to show him how I do it on the whole guitar’”: Marcin shows an astounded Will Smith his virtuosic guitar technique
“I probably hauled in 20 guitars. I listened to the record top to bottom, turned to him and said, ‘It doesn’t need anything’”: Jeff “Skunk” Baxter on the one studio session where he lugged a ton of guitar gear – and didn't use any of it
