Following the dissolution of vocalist and guitarist Peter Kowlasky’s prior band, Remembering Never, the sound of Ether came into focus. Born from lengthy van conversations about New Orleans sludge bands and a desperation to create a sound the members had always been fans of, Ether became an outlet for brooding riffs and frayed emotions: the striking sound that would ultimately evolve into their Century Media debut, There Is Nothing Left For Me Here. 
 Ether had survived a number of false-starts and hiatuses while members dealt with the personal issues spelt out in music that already elevated them from being a mere “Doom Band”. A year later, when it came time to write There Is Nothing Left For Me Here, the sound of Ether had become more dynamic: incorporating a Swans-like sense of melody and riffs that embraced the death metal legacy of their native state. Combined with a lyrical sentiment that dealt with the struggles of a recent divorce, the horrors of capitalism, the current state of American politics and the detriment of western culture, Ether was honing a sound that balanced heavy and delicate to create something undeniably broken and haunting. 
 In that spirit, the sound of Ether live, is just as intense a proposition. No strangers to hard work, the band has already extensively toured the Eastern United States and Canada on self-booked, DIY tours. Ether is only upping their ante: no less passionate, no less pissed.
