Yvonne Glasgow It's hard to pick a favorite track on this album. This is the kind of music that makes me passionate and makes me fall in love. I could easily compare the sound of this band to Depeche Mode, as well as Bowie's final album. It's new wave, electropop at its finest. The songs will make any Goth kid giddy. This is a very well recorded album and each song sounds divine. Favorite track: You Can't Go Back.

DivineBullet I must say that this band is incredible, it has a lot of feeling something that is very important in the rock scene these days. I think this band will get very far, especially this song "Our Time is Now" has a lot of strength and feeling, it really transports you to a state of peace, I personally suspend myself in time Favorite track: Our Time is Now.

Fizbo the Clown Just wow! This might be one of the coolest and dark-ish Drown Metal form Canada since bson! I really like the arrangements, it seems that most of the songs where made to be somekind of a Soundtrack for a more darker movie from David Lynch. Favorite track: Beauty Eyes I Adore.

jendan Steve Moore, Kenneth Buck, and Jon Ireson have crafted a heavily atmospheric amalgam of the industrial, electronic, and rock genres with The Unlearning Curve. The thematic intent of the trio is to venture 'into the unknown' and that's an apt description of these potent compositions that mirror the current pressing unrest caused by the changing socio-politico-economic climate. It's disquieting times and the band has presciently tapped into this unsettled mood. Favorite track: You Can't Go Back.

Marko Segura If you are a listener who is looking for something that melts the Massive Attack atmospheric crecendos with the dark synth-full industrial rock of Skinny Puppy, you come to the right place.
This album by Post Death Soundtrack last album is a mesmerizing collection of songs. Something that only a good experienced band can come up with. This is a very clever and fascinating compilation of different styles, instrumentation and songwriting. Love specially the drums and the pads. Favorite track: Dance with the Devil.

Calm Be calm Don't let it stop you The noise of unease Don't turn and run Breathe The flame burns all the while The power never left The mouth still smiles Dark passenger could not touch it False teacher could not snuff it out Disease could not reach it All the knives could not cut it down Not anxiety Not death Not pain Not regret That which is immovable is within That which is always with you knows the way Knows the way Knows the way Knows the way Knows the way

They have not been where you've been They have not seen what you've seen So why do they play a game with you when all the rules are untrue? You can never go back Once you've crossed over You can't go back The system is out of order We all throw our hands out like serpents lashing out Serpents lashing out You can't go back You fall down the rabbit hole A strange light will guide you Never sure of anything again But the love inside you You can never go back Once you've crossed over You can't go back The system is out of order We all throw our hands out like serpents lashing out Serpents lashing out You can't go back They want you to have a 'conversation' Ooooooh, they must be insane You've spoken in tongues and heard the bells ring Ooooooh, you've erased the pain You've erased the pain (Don't be afraid) You've erased the pain (Don't be afraid) You've erased the pain (Don't be afraid) You've erased the pain (Don't be afraid) You've erased the pain

Come on You're terribly late We need to get started Our time is happening now We will not hesitate There are no questions to ask We will not hesitate We will not hesitate We will not calculate Forget the reason and the rhyme Scale back and refuse with power If you engage and disengage at the same time You have the power They don't have the power You have the power They...can't touch you Our time is happening now We will not hesitate There are no questions to ask We will not hesitate I feel just like a molotov cocktail Lit up and ready to explode Derail and burn this train full of dead people We're all just playing around Telling a bad joke on ourselves I say "tear up the script and let the bastards sweat it out." Take it away, boys Take it away
4.
Beauty eyes I adore Deadly eyes I'm yours And I feel your gaze Draining, taking my soul Forever bleeding My heart cannot see you coming Splitting wide open Now I can feel it...nothing Beauty eyes I adore Deadly eyes I'm yours And I feel your gaze Draining, taking my soul And for now time will trickle slow As I sew my incisions Tonight I believe in nothing And you believe in me
5.
Something is coming over me Something that can't be spoken to An energy is coursing through me That can't be calmed You wanted a game rigged in your favor A false Universe set out for failure Pulling the strings on your chosen saviour Now it's just you and I... I'm guilty (Pull me in the water. I'm the one you want.) Come get me (Pull me in the water. I'm the one you want.) A restless animal pretending to dream Can you relate? Are you just like me? Our hopes become facade My hopes were sold to me as lies Sold back to me in plastic packaging I am the predator Born in confusion I spent my life suffering from illusions If your creation wants something from me Take my hand See if you can drown me

Little Alice 04:32
(Show me the way through this tightening noose We'll get high on the other side Just one kiss before we say goodnight Kneel before your broken master and taste his defeat Oh, succulent depraved soul Let me sink my teeth in thine flesh) Pretty little thing with your high heels on You'd better soak up admiration until the pain is gone Your creamy plastic face and your robot soul Are going to beg for a savior when you've lost control You take a pawn from the bottom and you chop it's head off You take a puppet from the middle and you put it on top It's just a game! It's a crutch to keep you balanced It's a cage to keep you safe It's a roof to keep you grounded It's a leash to slow your pace It's just a game! You pray to your Idols They just pray for themselves All your heroes came to this world STRAIGHT FROM HELL! So indulge yourself, you fat, spoiled child We've got a full house and the Queen is wild! You take a pawn from the bottom and you chop it's head off You take a puppet from the middle and you put it on top It's just a game! It's a crutch to keep you balanced It's a cage to keep you safe It's a roof to keep you grounded It's a leash to slow your pace It's just a game!

Send your men from the fields and the ocean Ideology in stillness and motion The illusion of standing your ground False faces of the lost and the found Everyone wants to have and to hold How many of us just let go? I'm walking through the gates Nobody gets through I'm walking through the gates I'm nobody Your conclusions of passion and rage Take the scraps and throw them away Unaffected Suspended in air Without a face Without a care Lightning strikes somewhere inside Just...like...that The fear has died I'm walking through the gates Nobody gets through I'm walking through the gates I'm nobody Who are you?
8.
Demon, you can move on Get up Get your shoes on Everything just waits for you I'll see you again someday too You clung to me on the inside Oh, frightened child with your eyes so wide A long time ago you ran from the light And now you want to dance with the devil tonight Dance with the devil Dance with the devil tonight
9.
You've searched for answers and found only fear Dreamt of illusions that never appeared No one knows what we are Lay your weapons down Just let your colors run Transform in white light You've lived on your knees Oh, you've waited in line You've broken fully Believed in their design You licked the broken glass for a taste of the truth Only to find out the answer is in you No one knows what we are Lay your weapons down Just let your colours run Transform in white light Transform in white light

about

Post Death Soundtrack is a Canadian inter-city music collective consisting of Kenneth Buck, Steve Moore and Jon Ireson. Founded in Calgary in 2007 by Buck and Moore, the band now operates out of Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto using the magic of the internet to collaborate across the country. The group creates thought-provoking music by weaving together electronic, industrial, pop and rock sounds. Side-line.com calls their sound “indefinable" while Reflections of Darkness calls them "by no means music for simple minds”.

On September 16, 2008, founding members Buck and Moore released Post Death Soundtrack’s debut full length album Music as Weaponry. Taking influence from bands like Massive Attack and Skinny Puppy, ‘Music as Weaponry’ earned top reviews from publications such as Industrial.org, Side-line Magazine and Sphere Magazine who called the record "a chaotic concoction of crossover madness" adding "this is the soundtrack to your escape from the average". Their popular cover of Dead Can Dance's ‘Anywhere Out Of The World’ was met with praise overseas in Europe.

Also that year, the group recruited bassist and producer Jon Ireson with whom Buck and Moore had shared various stages with in previous incarnations. Jon, in turn brought on Colin Everall to help out on piano and drums.

In 2010, Post Death Soundtrack released their single ‘Ultraviolence’ with accompanying video, directed by Jeevin Johal. Along with the release of new music (‘Little Alice’ and ‘Our Time Is Now’) and a series of remixes from Music as Weaponry, the band assembled for a rare live performance opening for industrial pioneers Front Line Assembly.
Now after a 3 year hiatus, Post Death Soundtrack is back with The Unlearning Curve. The latest 9 track collection is an eclectic narrative about dropping concepts, healing and venturing into the unknown. Equal parts Alice in Wonderland, J. Krishnamurti and dream language, The Unlearning Curve pulls as much from psych era Beatles and David Bowie as it does from modern industrial rock. The record was recorded at a number of studios, primarily in Vancouver. It was mastered at Suite Sound Labs, Vancouver and the album cover is an original painting by Toronto artist Kayla Aileen Brown. The album is available as a free download as well as in limited edition vinyl format.
