Behold the debut album from EAGLE TWIN! Although the band itself is a new entity, its helmsman, Gentry Densley, is no stranger to innovative, heavy music. Densley was the musical visionary and leader of the legendary Jazz, Prog, Rock, Metal, Hardcore group Iceburn from 1991-2001. In order to disseminate his majestic and mountainous riffs in the present day he enlisted massively behemoth skinsman Tyler Smith. The drums are not only a driving force that efficiently steam rolls over you they conjure a repetitious mantra that is eerily infectious. The riffs and music definitely have familiar reference points, including Caspar Brotzmann Massaker, Earth, sunn O))), Melvins, and more, but are crafted in a unique approach that stands miles beyond the others.
EAGLE TWIN's debut full-length The Unkindness of Crows was recorded to tape in Seattle by Randall Dunn (Earth, sunn O))), Kinski, Ascend), and will come beautifully packaged in a digipak with original artwork from Densley, Sri Whipple and others, and designed by Stephen O’Malley. The album is to be officially released this Tuesday, July 21.
EAGLE TWIN played two killer outdoor sets at this year's SXSW Festival, and has recently completed a Midwest tour with sunn O))). Catch them on tour on the West Coast in early August again with sunn O))), and also with new labelmates The Accüsed.
