Ān by Kyning

--- Review Snippets ---

Marc-Eric Gagnon @ Doomcharts
"Did you ever considered to be friend with a monster? Because this is definitely what Kyning are proposing us with Ān!
This album is a giant sized Stoner Prog monster with many tentacles. Some are more grungy, some covered in desert sand and some more doomy. Your fate is written, one or the other will undeniably wrap up against you, hold you and never release you! So, I wish you good luck!!!"

Frazer Jones @ Desert Psychlist
"Nothing is straightforward about what Kyning bring to the table with 'Ān', riffs fizz and pop but they also crunch and crackle, rhythm patterns shift and change with an unnerving regularity and the vocals can range from a clean impassioned howl to guttural roar in a nano-second. Fellow music junkie and Doom Charts contributor Steve Rodger commented on the bands Bandcamp page 'I’m not entirely sure what the fuck is going on here, possibly some kind of twisted proggy grunge perhaps, but I am pretty sure it’s great ...' and he is 100% correct, from opening track 'Bury Me Closer' to the closing number 'Preacher' the listener is not so much led by the hand through Kyning's mythical world of melancholy, mistrust and malcontent as dragged through it screaming, made to look at leafless trees and sombre lonely mountains against a musical soundtrack that is continuously soaring and plummeting, a relentless ride that is as mind-blowing as it is breathtaking.
Those that thought that prog metal had steered its way into a cul-de-sac and had nowhere else left to go should wrap their ears around Kyning's 'Ān', by blending into their proggish overtures elements of alt-rock, stoner rock, doom and metal Kyning have shown that prog still has destinations not yet explored."

Fuzzy Cracklins Presents
"So what's to dig here? Kyning works from a heavy, riff-driven foundation upon which they are not afraid to build up their music with a prog energy. And the vocals -- the singing simply puts Kyning into a league of their own. The singing stands out not only for being unique, but also in its delivery. It's a challenge for a singer to keep up with the leaps and bounds of this style of music, and singer / guitarist Johannes is more than up for the challenge."

Wüster Rock
"'Ān' schiebt mit fuzzig wüsten Riffs gehörig nach vorne und verbindet Stoner, Heavy Rock und Metal zu einer durchdringenden Massage der Trommelfelle. Die ruhigeren Parts auf dem Album lassen dann wieder Raum um in andere Sphären zu schweben bevor man wieder mit voller Wucht auf den Boden gedrückt wird."
