ÆGES on social media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Bandcamp Jam this one then jam the version of Slip back to back, it’s a fun ride. Walters' voice is barely holding on from start to finish, the guitars are noisy and the production is mega raw. You can hear the angst and you can feel the excitement, power and youthfulness of the band. This song didn’t change too much as far as structure and melody but it’s just so much more “metal” on this album and I love it. It’s so rad to hear what the original versions are before a producer, label, and band growth/knowledge comes into play. The OG version off of their first release. It’s always rad and unexpected to hear a band known for being heavy deliver a beautiful, vibey and chill tune that keeps your attention and still takes you on the journey. The verse vocal is so simple, yet soothing and powerful - something Walter nails every time.

The chill vibe of this tune is something these guys don’t do often, much less at all and this short EP was a heavy sleeper and seemed to fall under the radar pretty hard. "Spoken Through Clouds" from Triptych Continuum (2018) The guitar leads weave in and out of the vocal melody and the combo lifts the listener up into a heavy yet meditative state. This is one of those jams that takes you on a journey without throwing anything jarring in its path. The intro riff is sooooo deep and thick and filled with groove, I love it. I hope one day they re-release an “alt mix” version of this record that pummels. I’m just gonna add that I think this whole album was underrated due to its mix (my opinion obviously). I can see these dudes writing this song as teenagers and it being just as rad and rowdy then as it was when they tracked it. It’s tough, melodic and fast which you don’t get that combo a lot from Quicksand. This song hits me like a song off the Snapcase record, Progression Through Unlearning. There’s also bass chords throughout most of the song, who does that!? So ripping. It’s as if the song was giving us a taste of what Handsome was going to sound like in the future. This song has such a heavy groove from start to finish. Since we knew ÆGES vocalist/guitarist Kemble Walters is a fellow Quicksand fan, we asked him for a list of the NYC post-hardcore legends' 5 most underrated tracks from their discography. Seen/heard below, ÆGES' latest release is a "Colors," a single packed with twin-guitar and vocal harmony lines, pulsating rhymthic turns, and a big chorus:

Originally started by musicians from such groups as The Rise, Shift, and Pelican, the combo has dropped records on The Mylene Sheath, Another Century, and Hawthorne Street Records.

ÆGES is a Los Angeles-based band that has been penning hook-driven post-hardcore anthems for close to a decade now.
