Years is a dark ambient instrumental side project for Ryan Parrish, drummer for Washington, D.C.-based death metal/metalcore outfit Darkest Hour and screamo band City of Caterpillar. Years relies heavily on languid, melodic interludes and an insistent mechanical backbone that echoes its creator's penchant for the rhythm. Parrish released a split EP with Graham Scala (aka Ventoux), the founder of experimental rock outfit Souvenir's Young America, called Shift in Moods/The Inferno of the Living on the Magic Bullet label in 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger
