Giant Squid recently self-released their 2nd full length on February 3rd, a limited edition (1000 copies) album entitled The Ichthyologist. Recorded by Matt Bayles (Minus the Bear, Isis, Botch) at the Red Room in Seattle, it features guest musicians from members of Neurosis, Crisis, Amber Asylum and The Gathering.
Their most recent tour was a February jaunt with Relapse Records' 16 and an upcoming national tour with Grayceon is in the works for Summer. Keep an eye out for dates.
"While the narrative may take a page from Gregory’s personal life, musically, The Ichthyologist invokes the elemental force of Neurosis, the cinematic scope of God Speed You Black Emperor, and the attitude of punk rock." – Revolver Magazine
"The Ichthyologist is, for lack of a better term, a grand fucking slam. Sublimely textured but crushingly heavy, deep as the ocean at its heart and yet instantly approachable, this is more than a great metal album—it is a beautiful work of art, by any standard. Even after writing this review, I can’t wait to listen to it again, and I’ll consider it a gift from the heavens if I hear another album even close to as good as The Ichthyologist this year." – metalreview.com
