Jambinai Essentials

Jambinai Essentials

South Korean post-rock trio Jambinai fuse traditional folk with heavy metal in frenetic experimentations—unsurprising, given their art school backgrounds. Unleashing otherworldly aural assaults, they build melodies with classical instruments like the haegeum and kŏmungo into speaker-busting explosions. Songs like "Grace Kelly" and "Time of Extinction" are imposing and maddening; rock 'n' roll harbingers of the apocalypse. But it's not all distorted vocals and bagpipe marches: Jambinai transition into hypnotic instrumental meditations—layered, languid strings evoking ethereal visions.
