Short intro

Out of a Center Which Is Neither Dead Nor Alive is the debut full-length album by Chicago-based post-metal band Minsk. Produced by Sanford Parker, the album was released in 2005 on At a Loss Recordings. Minsk lists its influences as ranging from '70s doom metal and prog rock all the way to cutting-edge '80s bands like Dead Can Dance. And on their 2006 release Out of a Center Which Is Neither Dead nor Alive, it all comes together for the band. The group - which includes Tim Mead vocals, synthesizers, Chris Bennett guitar, Sanford Parker bass, synthesizers, and Anthony Couri drums - certainly brings to mind such challenging bands as Pelican at times.

Self described as psychedelic metal, their songs tend to start out as slow and simple, and become heavy and complex towards the end. Their sound draws equally from sludge metal, doom metal, hardcore punk, ambient and noise music, with a highly psychedelic attitude achieved through tribal drum patterns, thick layers of synthesizers and keyboards, and echoing vocals.

Minsk combines a sonic onslaught of dirge-like walls of doom and metal with Hawkwind and Jethro Tull inspired 1970's psychedelic rock and tribal elements reminiscent of Dead Can Dance. I can listen to Out of a Center Which is Neither Dead Nor Alive over and over and not get tired of it. I especially love the song Narcotics and Dissecting Knives it's pure bliss. Given four out of the six tracks on this album eclipse 10 minutes, they love to stretch out their compositions and build densely layered sounds with monochromatic guitar drone and multiple sound effects. The Center Is Alive And Breathing. Perplexed Sjel, April 8th, 2009. Out of a Center Which is Neither Dead nor Alive is the long winded debut from Minsk. Highly atmospheric music that aims for a cold, distant and substantially dramatic sound is what you will discover on Out Of A Center Which Is Neither Dead Or Alive. The six epic tracks herein take the listener on a dark trip through dismal, detached melodies designed to crush your very soul. The cavernous strains of Narcotics And Dissecting Knives impart a feeling of emptiness as highly melodic guitars rise above the din, creating an offsetting contrast of aural stimulation
