Take Over and Destroy Touring the West Coast with Year of No Light
Posted in Whathaveyou on October 7th, 2014 by JJ Koczan
This summer, Arizona six-piece Take Over and Destroy released their second full-length, Vacant Face, and at the end of the month, they’ll head out in support of the new album alongside French doomers Year of No Light. The tour runs from Oct. 30 in L.A. to Nov. 9 in Oakland, and will be certain to harsh all kinds of mellows up and down that side of the nation. It’s a pretty interesting mix of bands, but both share an affinity for darkness that should serve well to tie one set into the next. Take Over and Destroy also play the Southwest Terror Fest in Tucson, AZ, sharing the stage with The Atlas Moth, Blackqueen and Spiritual Shepherd at the Friday night after-show.
For those of us on the Eastern Seaboard, we won’t get to see TOAD, but Year of No Light have two shows booked at Brooklyn’s St. Vitus bar for Nov. 13 and 14. They are excellent live and will be joined by Sannhet and Gnaw and others.

Droning, crashing, building tower after tower of riffs and choking the oxygen out of the very atmosphere you breathe while you listen to it – these would seem to be the objectives behind French post-metallers Year of No Light’s second full-length, Ausserwelt (Conspiracy). The Bordeaux six-piece featuring three guitars, two drummers, one bassist and a host of keyboard and electronics that can come from just about any of them present four extended tracks to make up the album’s 48-minute runtime, the shortest being just over nine and a half minutes long, and the longest, “Hiérophante,” clocking in at 13:13.
