US band Yeti, from 2000's Things to Come plus 2nd release (2004's Volume, Obliteration, Transcendence), limited time only











From discogs:

US avant-rock band in the Zeuhl tradition, that is modelled on the music of Magma, adding copious amounts of contemporary classical references and angular rock dissonance in the vein of King Crimson and Univers Zero.

The band's creative thrust was cut when kingpin Doug Ferguson died, but the rest of the band kept on recording a second album, adopting a more stoner/metal approach.

Probably people are familiar with this band, which I thought only released the one album back in 2001. And it definitely did sound like a US version of Magma with the crazy angular riffs and from outer space vibe, like the Xalph I posted here once. Or you could say the Bozon Cold Fusion find is like this, but a little bit more toned down and less insane.

But as it says above keyboardist Doug Ferguson (who was a member of Vas Deference O.) sadly passed away in that same year, and the remaining members recorded another album in 2004 which is slightly more guitar based but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's stoner metal. There are a bunch of live recordings that most have never heard which I'll also post subsequently. They play long meandering and space rock type material which you can hear here on youtube.
In addition I'll post flacs limited time only as usual, though the limit is extended now with the new site we are using.
From the second album the first track is posted here.
