Band To Open For EYEHATEGOD In Brooklyn This Sunday!
Brooklyn sludge rock sensations HULL recently
returned from a pillaging month-long tour crumbling stages throughout the U.S.
with their sonic wall of triple-guitar led, conceptual enormity. Bassist Seanbryant
Dunn recently posted an extensive tour wrap-up. An excerpt reads:
"First and foremost, The Fucking Wrath are amazing
dudes! Wise are they in entering and sustaining the 'Nite Zoo' mentality.
Ripping through the states with these boys was truly an honor and meeting them
again could come no sooner. Sorry that merch dog Shimer had to deal with that
crazy shooting in NOLA on Halloween. If only he had worn the Duke that road dog
Hollis had donned for his warrior outfit, there would not have been any random
violence. The situation would have been resolved quickly and with less innocent
casualties."
HULL recently unleashed their Beyond The Lightless
Sky opus, which continues to earn critical praise from fans
and media alike. Released via The End Records, Beyond The Lightless
Sky, was co-produced by Brett Romnes, mixed by Billy Anderson (Sleep,
Neurosis, Melvins, et al).and features guest appearances by vocalist Jarboe,
keys/ambiance by Fade Kainer(Batillus/Jarboe/Inswarm ) and cello by Joe Merolla
with artwork by Tamara Waite-Santibanez.
WORDS FROM THE CONVERTED:
"a determined and significant release, and one
thoroughly deserving of a lot more visibility in the realms of heaving, epic
metal." -- Pop Matters
"...immense and nimble; ponderous and
powerful..." -- Exclaim
"The balance is still there between traditional
ebbing post rock builds and hues and epic mountainous crescendos, but when HULL
put their foot on the pedal its much more gravel than sludge." -- Teeth Of
The Divine/Roadburn.com Album Of The Day
"They do have the sludge/post-metal spine, and
that’s important, but their willingness to bloom beyond is what should
keep HULL special and relevant well into the future." -- Metal
Maniacs
"There is a fantastic amount of riffs you’re going
to want to repeatedly hear on this record. Couple that with some guitar solos
that come out of nowhere and fit like gloves with the album’s songwriting and
its layered vocal approach, and you’ve got a hell of a ride." -- Slug
"...one damn fine record." -- Doomantia
"...the best stoner/psych/doom releases of
2011." -- Holy Grail From Hell
