Seattle instrumental trio Giza will issue their third album, Migration, at the start of next month. Quite a title. I can’t help but wonder if the three-piece were thinking purposely of Buried at Sea when they chose the name or if the Chicago outfit’s 2003 offering of the same name — one of the heaviest records ever released, flat out — was unknown to them, but either way, they’ve set a significant standard for themselves. It’s not quite like calling it Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but you know what I mean.
With production by Matt Bayles (Isis, Mastodon, etc.), Migration will be out Aug. 1.
