Galvanist – The Silence Between Stars Review By Spicie ForrestI was initially surprised that Galvanist hailed from Bozeman, Montana, but I really have no right to feel that way. Based on its proximity to major outdoor destinations, I thought Bozeman would be like Jackson, Wyoming, where I briefly lived, but Google quickly disabused me of that notion. Suffice it to say, I have no idea what Bozeman’s music scene is like. But I’ll tell you what I do know. I know that Galvanist released debut Connection in 2022 and split Hollowtop with Ulm in 2024. I know they’re returning now with sophomore effort The Silence Between Stars. And after spinning this album every day for weeks, I know that all my expectations, like so much dust beneath the heel of an eldritch god, have been casually and utterly annihilated.
The promo material describes Galvanist as “blackened doom metal, progressive death metal, and experimental textures.” That may outline the canvas upon which Galvanist paints, but it does them little justice. Throughout The Silence Between Stars, I hear Animals as Leaders drowning in sludge (“Atrophy”) and Huntsmen channeling Thou (“Dreich,”1 “Spiorad”2). Woven into the fiber of their sound, I hear the swirling chaos of Ulcerate (“Hauntology”), creating a shifting maelstrom that denies me any safe or solid ground. Synths and keys, courtesy of lead guitarist Micah Tippit, lend Galvanist a threatening, extraterrestrial edge. Over it all, vocalist Tanner Erhart bellows with the raw intensity of acts like Ragana. Galvanist takes these ingredients and filters them through a clear and singular identity to create something entirely their own. Orders of magnitude greater than its descriptors, The Silence Between Stars is a journey by turns and at once deeply rooted in the homestead and violently flung to the darkest reaches of space.3
With every track but the 63-second intro4 clocking in at roughly 8–11 minutes, I worried The Silence Between Stars would suffer from bloat or overly aggressive proggery. My fears were unfounded. The Silence Between Stars demands my attention front to back, and at an easily digestible 40 minutes, I frequently find myself looping back for another spin. This isn’t so singular a work as Winter’s Gate or Mirror Reaper—there’s little need for gapless playback here—but each track flows so naturally into the next that I struggle to start anywhere but the beginning or stop anywhere but the end. I don’t know if this is a concept album, but it’s heady, interconnected subject matter5 demands more than just lyrical exposition. Galvanist is plenty capable, wielding mystifying time signature shifts (“Atrophy,” “Hauntology”), abrupt—but never jarring—compositional transitions, and mid-melody key changes (“Spiorad”) with aplomb. Galvanist adeptly handles such progressive elements to bake their storytelling directly into the music itself.
Even beyond its total disregard for my expectations, The Silence Between Stars continues to awe. Galvanist uses the soundstage to further cultivate that sense of being both grounded and in freefall. Bassist Kevin George’s mix leaves room for each instrument to breathe, but in a good way, only just. With a little added reverb, the result fosters that contradictory atmosphere even more, like suffocating in open air. Erhart’s rhythm guitars hang out on the wings, where microtonal variances between left and right ears create an incredible dissonance, a feeling of infinite liminality. Elements float in and out of the spotlight—like George’s bass at the midpoint of “Atrophy,” Chris Navarro’s drums at the end of “Hauntology,” or Tippit’s astounding leads on the back half of “Spiorad”—constantly redirecting my attention and driving me further into Galvanist’s labyrinth.
It is not often I have no complaints about an album, and rarer still, I have more praise than I can fit on the page. Had I time and space enough, I would still be raving about The Silence Between Stars long after the final keys of “Spiorad” fade to silence. From the cosmic violence of “Atrophy” to the striking bookends of “Dreich,” and from the spine-tingling keys of “Hauntology” to the magnificent, delirious climax of “Spiorad,” Galvanist has created something truly special. Like a will-o’-wisp or a foxfire trail coaxing you into the dark, The Silence Between Stars is disquieting yet tempting, unnerving yet comforting. I didn’t know what I was in for when I picked up Galvanist, but to shamelessly adapt my favorite line from the album,6 I crossed the threshold, and I found myself amidst worlds strange and wonderful.

Japan To Launch Survey On Population Of Bears Following Surge In Attacks On People
In response to the recent surge of bear attacks on people, Japan will start an official survey on the population of bears particularly in the Tohoku region covering six prefectures, according to a news report by Kyodo News.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News Some parts in boldface…
The Environment Ministry will begin surveying bear populations in Japan’s northeastern Tohoku region and vicinity in June by setting up about 800 cameras in mountains, it said earlier this week, following a surge in bear attacks on humans.
Camera traps and other means will be used to help count black bears in the six prefectures of Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi and Fukushima — collectively known as Tohoku — as well as adjacent Niigata, with the estimates to be released possibly by early next year.
The survey plan was revealed as Japan saw a record high number of 238 people injured or killed by bear attacks in the year through March.
It was reported at a recent meeting of ministers on measures against bears that more of the animals were spotted in Tohoku in April than in the same month last year.
The ministry said it will conduct surveys in other areas of Japan in fiscal 2027.
Regarding a survey in the northern island of Hokkaido, inhabited by brown bears, the ministry plans to mainly use a method of collecting body hair to count and estimate their numbers.
The ministry also plans to survey the tiny population of black bears on Shikoku, in western Japan, but no research is planned for the adjacent island of Kyushu, where the animals are believed to have gone extinct.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the Japanese government’s approved survey on the population of bears will turn out successful and helpful? Were you able to witness a bear attack a person there in Japan?

People often ask vegans: what's the problem with milk? So many problems actually. The very fact that even more cows cannot move freely is only the tip of the iceberg. It's not ethical, its down right cruel.

🇬🇧 Animal fur: “ban” on a voluntary basis by Camera Moda
A step towards ending animal abuse or another non-binding guideline?A "voluntary ban" on fur. Sounds good.
But here's the problem: when fashion self-regulates, who really wins?
Not the animals (imported fur is still legal).
Not the workers (same logic tried to erase supply chain liability).
Just brands. Protected as always.Read more:

🇮🇹 Pelliccia: “vietata” su base volontaria da Camera Moda
Un passo verso la fine del maltrattamento animale o un’altra linea guida non vincolante?Un "divieto volontario" della pelliccia. Suona bene.

Non gli animali (la pelliccia importata è ancora legale).

NBC News: How bizarre fish ‘experiment’ videos from China hijacked the internet’s worst impulses. “NBC News reviewed dozens of videos that showed small animals being physically maimed. The videos have spawned their own small internet niche of reaction videos, discussion, bizarre memes and even merch.”
