"How good are Holoscene? So good that their debut EP, Nothing Is The End of Everything, has made me rethink my feelings towards post-rock as a whole ...like Do Make Say Think or Mogwai or Explosions in the Sky or any other band that's mastered the style -- they're able to shift tempos and volumes so well that they make what they do sound transcendent..."

"Listening to Holoscene prior to their show could not prepare me for what I witnessed that night. Holoscene played a set of surreal, ambient and serene soundscapes that melded their way into furious crescendos of rock. The crowds at the Velvet became hypnotized by Holoscene's set. At times it became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No one said a word during their set as they were locked into the moods and emotions that the band was creating. This is the kind of band you have to experience live. Keep posted for our interview with Holoscene." - Toronto Music Scene Review of NXNE 2008
"...one of the best debuts of the last decade" - The Belleville Intelligencer
"This is post-rock in all its large-gesture glory, and it's more Led Zeppelin than any band particularly big at the moment."
- Dan Raper, PopMatters, 2007
"“Death Machine” is in demo state — thanks, Holoscene, because I love it. I’ve liked stuff by Holoscene before, but I find the raw condition of this distant, melancholy postrock study gives it a vital human skin and pulse"
- Warren Ellis
This seven track disc is undeniably the heaviest music that AUN has created so far, a grinding, distorted soundscape that begins with the keening electronic drones and muffled, disembodied metallic riffing that becomes endlessly tanged in a nest of squirming low-end noise in the opening title track, and steadily ratchets up the heaviness with each track, until we come to the punishing "Palejoy", a bludgeoning Industrial metal dirge that has massive, Godflesh-like percussion fused to processed, almost synthetic sounding doom riffage, a black cloud of buzzing, ultra downtuned black dirge drifting over a muffled, slow motion breakbeat. In between, AUN erects vast walls of crumbling distortion and rhythmic guitar loops forged into apocalyptic ambient drift streaked with heavenly synth choirs and sweeping cosmic fx, crushing fifteen-minute blasts of immolating amplifier ragas formed from a nebula of melting woodwind sounds, distant elephantine tympani drums, hellish symphonies of rusted, scraping strings and celestial electronic whiteout that ends up sounding like something from Skullflower's Orange Canyon Mind but one hundred times heavier, and strange deep-space blues jam instrumentals with impossibly detuned guitar soaring through black holes of reverb and tape fluctuation.
This is seriously crushing stuff that stands out in sharp contrast to the hordes of amp-leaning feedback riders, and is highly recommended to anyone into KTL, Final, Black Boned Angel, To Blacken The Pages, K.K. Null, Aethnor, Fall Of The Grey Winged One, Fear Falls Burning, Hlidolf, Messiah Complex, and other heavy, textural industrial/ambient/sludge groups.

Hi Guys, I just wanted to send a personal invite to check out my Virgin festival coverage and interview with Kilbourne. You guys helped start this whole thing so I though I'd at least show you where it's gone. Stop by my blog for details and take care. Drew
Knowing that you like our music I thought I'd let you know that we have uploaded 4 new songs in our player, feel free to come listen... They are from our second CD which is now released and should be available in fine record stores close to you
Hey Holoscene! Love your sound and looking forward to hearing you guys live in New York in August. It should be a nice contrast to the music that we play!
