After Nations is a hard-hitting quartet whose sound explores the spaces among djent, stoner metal, and heavy post-rock. Through years of DIY releases, US tours, and solidarity with local music scenes and artists around the US, the band has developed a dedicated underground following. Their latest album, Surface | Essence, traverses the crushing heaviness of djent and sludge, while drawing on the coloring and spaciousness of post-rock. Balancing massive force with moments of quiet contemplation, their sound is one of rhythmic complexity, hypnotic passages, and deep, textured heaviness. Through composition that combines the explosive with the meditative, After Nations continue to simultaneously create and explore a space for themselves in post-metal.
