Sean Ingram (Coalesce) and producer Josh Barber (credits include Norma Jean, The Devil Wears Prada, Tech N9ne) have teamed up on a new project called Idle Heirs, who will release their debut album in 2025 on Relapse Records. 

"We initially had no intention to share this record outside of our loved ones so there was absolutely no fear to go out on a limb (creatively) and just let it live wherever that went. In that way the record really wrote itself, and the bigger challenge was just getting out of the way and let it be what it wanted to be," Ingram says in a statement from the label. The project is a departure, style-wise, from Coalesce, with a wider range of vocals but still bent on a destructive element.

As much as I may or may not be completely objective when attempting record reviews, I must admit that this is probably not capable of happening when it comes to Coalesce's new album, Ox.

So the inevitable is occurring as Relapse is reissuing this behemoth of an album (although at right around thirty minutes that is a stretch to call it such by today's standards). Recently awarded a spot in the Decibel album hall of fame, 0:12.2: Revolution in Just Listening is a supremely curious album as it is a document of a band … Read more
