SLIFT’s ‘ILION’ Is a towering work of rock music, a steamrolling record that starts at the highest peak and never lets up. If that sounds overwhelming, trust in this Toulouse trio. Their third full-length album feels massive and oceanic, merging the furious intensity of metal and the wigged-out guitar heroics of psych rock with post-rock’s epic sense of scale. ‘ILION’ Is the kind of music where you listen to it and think to yourself, “This Came From Only Three People?” It Sure Did, and SLIFT’s utter ferocity is more than a tempest in a teacup. It reaches outwards for miles and creates new zeniths within unforeseen horizons of rock.
