PM ME IF YOU WANT IT

The first collaboration between Southern Lord's two kingpins of avant- metal, "Altar" is surely the most eagerly-anticipated extreme music release for some time. The wedding of Sunn O)))'s brutal drone symphonies with Boris' kaleidoscopic noise results in a wholly unique album that alchemically merges familiar elements of each band's sound into a transfigured, mysterious whole; roaring drones rise and collapse beneath blasts of disorienting, warped horns, the end result a heaving, psychedelic mass that looks set to induct yet more devotees to the shadowy explorations of both acts. The album features various contributions from other artists, including *Jess Sykes*, who provides haunting, melodic vocals on "Sinking Belle" *Kim Thayil (Soundgarden)*, who contributes some enthralling guitar work to the album closer; and *Joe Preston (Earth, Thrones, Melvins, High On Fire) *, whose psychedelic vocal style is present on "Akuma Kuma." The end result is a mind-blowing sludge of cathartic, blurred noise.

its pretty incredible, yeah. doesn't sound like either band. its subdued for both of them, but it still rattles.

the track with jesse sykes is hauntingly beautiful though.

LOL at this. :lol:

gave this some play on my bike ride this morning, and so far the only tune that really holds up for me is "The Sinking Belle". "Fried Eagle Mind" has some cool sections as well.

the "indie drone fans" are gonna eat this up ;)

"duuuuude, it's soooooo heavy"

thanks for the hookup Timis.

"indie drone fans" are about the only people who listen to Boris anyway. Metal dudes need big, clunky, corny riffs to get them off.

Metal dudes realize that most of the drone genre is nonsense

i cant be bothered with much modern metal, its too far up its own arse

i like some of the drone stuff, old Sabbath/Slayer/Maiden/Motorhead stuff and not much else. Some metalcore stuff is alright
