Post Death Soundtrack slots into the peculiar genre of modern industrial rock but with an added hint of psychedelia, their influences ranging from Portishead and Massive Attack to David Bowie and The Beatles. Residing across Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto, the three-piece band creates and collaborates via the internet.

Their latest single ‘You Can’t Go Back’ is lifted off the band’s upcoming album The Unlearning Curve:“They have not been where you’ve been, they have not seen what you’ve seen/So why do they play a game with you when all the rules are untrue”. The track’s opening line sets an ominous mood that only grows darker as it goes on. Steve Moore and Kenneth Buck share vocals in Post Death Soundtrack, the former with a voice uncannily reminiscent of R.E.M’s frontman Michael Stipe. However, that’s not to say that their sound is not unique; ‘You Can’t Go Back’ weaves a dense tapestry of atmospheric sounds and grimy, pitch-black bass guitar over the span of six and a half slow-burning minutes, the result is foreboding to say the least.

Post Death Soundtrack are making a name for themselves in the art of industrial rock. ‘You Can’t Go Back’ is a track designed to make your skin crawl, and while it may not hook the mainstream-attuned listener, there’s a lot going on beneath the surface with this music.
