about

When multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter Matt Lupo (East of the Wall, Stronds, Opul, The Postman Syndrome) made the decision to mount an excursion into hostile sonic territory, he tapped East of the Wall bandmate Chris Alfano (ex-NY In 64, ex-Day Without Dawn, The Postman Syndrome) to carry the flag on vocals, and EQUIVOCATOR was formed. Lupo has also contributed to The Dillinger Escape Plan, High Level (the soundtrack to Rob Sheridan’s graphic novel via Federal Prisoner Records), and So Is The Tongue.

EQUIVOCATOR explores some of the more abrasive realms: angular and dissonant, blasting, and breaking. Predominantly an aggressive venture, the project finds occasional footing on melodic ground, with a rare but welcome harmonic layer. It may sometimes feel like familiar territory, but EQUIVOCATOR is not so straightforward.

"...powerful, layered [...] sonic wallop from the pair Matthew Lupo (East of the Wall, Stronds, Opul, The Postman Syndrome) and East of the Wall bandmate Chris Alfano (ex-NY In 64, ex-Day Without Dawn, The Postman Syndrome)." - Decibel Magazine

"Matt Lupo and Chris Alfano both bleed heavy music. This is obvious if you're familiar with any of the bands they've played in throughout the years, but even if you aren't, EQUIVOCATOR will do the trick. Based in New Jersey, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter Lupo (East of the Wall, Stronds, Opul, The Postman Syndrome) and vocalist Alfano (ex-NY In 64, ex-Day Without Dawn, The Postman Syndrome) journey into everything from metallic hardcore to prog-metal to post-hardcore in the EQUIVOCATOR songwriting soup. There's nothing here held down by genre constraints." - No Echo

THE RAGING RIVER
by Cult of Luna

supported by 4 fans who also own “Equivocator”

Par rapport au monstrueux A Dawn to Fear, The Raging River est un album qui paraît presque raisonnable. Sauf qu’il est dans la continuité de Cult of Luna, c’est-à-dire pas raisonnable du tout. Comme bande-son de fin du monde, il se pose un peu là: à l’instar de son titre, il va balloter l’auditeur entre cailloux, troncs arrachés et débris divers.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 4 fans who also own “Equivocator”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
