The upcoming debut monolith from "doom supergroup" SHRINEBUILDER is one of the most anticipated heavy releases of 2009, hands-down. A collaborative effort between members of some of the doom, drone and stoner rock scene's most influential alumni, SHRINEBUILDER consists of Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Al Cisneros (Sleep, Om), Scott "Wino" Weinrich (The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, The Hidden Hand, Wino) and Dale Crover (Melvins). To be released in September the upcoming self-titled SHRINEBUILDER album shows these top-tier icons coalescing their power into a multi-headed beast that not only surges with each member's personal approach, but also thrives on it's own thunderous vitality. This release will prove to be one of the most monumental heavy releases of the year.
A STORM OF LIGHT is one of Neurot's major priorities as of late. Following the band's acclaimed 2008 debut release And We Wept The Black Ocean Within, the Brooklyn-based outfit has toured across several continents, most recently across the Eastern US alongside Wolves In The Throne Room and Krallice, showcasing the band's musical strength and topped with their dramatic visual displays. On their sophomore release Forgive Us Our Trespasses, coming this September, the band layers even more haunting tones into their engulfing post-doom passages. Like the tidal surge of an angry tonal sea, the album broadcasts a dim forecast for humankind, predicting Earth's revenge on man for pushing the planet to the breaking point. This record will definitely be a high-point in 2009 for fans of Neurosis, Minsk, Ahab and YOB.
Other recently released Neurot albums available for coverage immediately include the sophomore album from HARVESTMAN (solo project of Neurosis' Steve Von Till) In A Dark Tongue, longtime soloist KK NULL's Oxygen Flash release, the debut from CHORD album Flora (featuring Trevor De Brauw of Pelican), and the ¡M.G.R. Y DESTRUCTO SWARMBOTS! release Amigos de la Guitarra (featuring Mike Gallagher of ISIS).
