Their music contains no vocals, they are an instrumental band whose songs communicate through raw emotion rather than lyrical messages. Loud-quiet-loud, inspirational build-ups and heart-wrenching soundscapes are all constituents of Chemtrail's sound.

Reviews of "Terminals"



John Pfeiffer [The Aquarian]:
"The tone these guys get is incredible. Study this disc before you go record guitar parts."
"Chemtrail delves deeply into the instrumental vein, a genre I find both fearless and extremely welcome to our world of lame pop laziness."
"I think one of the major strong points of this band is the way they communicate superbly without being typically vocal, using their instruments to tell you what you need to know."



Reviews of "Via Satellite"



Alessandro Bonetti [Kronic Magazine - Italy]:
"4/5 stars"
"the five-piece elegantly eludes an imitative approach."
"a post-rock work of an emotive matrix."
"an album to chase."
Manacast Reviews [UK]:
"Chemtrail's music is packed full of passionate warmth and poise. People looking for your next step into the world of post rock, you might just have found it."
