Show Me A Dinosaur, a heavy post-rock/blackgaze band from Saint Petersburg (Russian Federation), will release on 26 July via AOP Records their third full-length entitled Plantgazer. This genre-defying band formed in 2010 and released their debut EP, Evolvent, in 2011 and the dark, brooding masterpiece Dust in 2014. In March 2016, they released their self-titled second album, a juggernaut of raw emotions and technical prowess.
Plantgazer was already released in December 2020 digitally and physically, the latter as an independent self-release, which is sold out for quite some time now. AOP Records is now proud to re-release the album on European soil.
Plantgazer is an album born from someone locked inside his home. Someone gazing at his house plants day in, day out, and trying to figure out answers to the many questions this new world has given rise to. An album born from the hope of breaking through a growing anxiety. See and hear the just-released special guitar playthrough for the track "Red River". Link

"There's much more detail in our music now than 20 years ago. It's also much easier nowadays because you can do many things at home." - Morten Lybecker
"There were already bands doing small illustrations of symphonic metal, and I was thinking, why doesn't someone do this all the time?" - Christofer Johnsson
"It's a dark album. According to me, it's the darkest yet in our discography. It's also very suggestive, very introverted, less direct, and might be less friendly..." - Daniel Moilanen
