Drawing influences from post-metal, post-rock, and doom metal, Landforge’s music is a combination of both ethereal ambient guitar parts and pounding distorted riffs. The exact birth date of Landforge is uncertain. Though a number of tracks date back to late 2009, and plans for a full length album even earlier than that, the first post-metal tendencies in the music didn’t appear until mid 2010.
Recording for “Creation Cycle”, Landforge’s first album, started in early 2011 and was completed in May 2011, all done by one person in a bedroom studio, using mostly free software and cheap equipment. Creation Cycle was released through Bandcamp on the 21st of May 2011.
After a positive reception of Creation Cycle, Landforge began work on the second release, under the working title “We Shall Not Serve”. Aiming to raise the bar on previous work and outdo the debut, the recording and mixing process for the second album took noticeably longer, lasting the better part of half a year. The album was released, again through Bandcamp, on the 15th of February 2012, under the title “Servitude to Earth”.
