HULL continues to tour in support of their
monolithic Beyond The Lightless Sky full-length released via
The End Records last Fall. Called “…a concept album for the ages, ” by Metal
Army America Beyond The Lightless Sky features guest
appearances by vocalist Jarboe, keys/ambiance by Fade Kainer
(Batillus/Jarboe/Inswarm) and continues to reap critical acclaim
internationally for its delicate balance of staggering heaviness and poetic
grace.
“HULL have made something immense and nimble,
ponderous and powerful,” – Exclaim
“…crushingly heavy in a cerebral sense,” – The Obelisk
“[Beyond The Lightless Sky] veers between
motorcycle-revving D-beat, bog-trawling doom, sinister black metal, Neurosis
drum-offs and hypnotic passages that gnash like a venom-dripping cousin to the
final Isis album.” -- The Village Voice (NYC)
“…a determined and significant release, and one
thoroughly deserving of a lot more visibility in the realms of heaving, epic
metal.” – Pop Matters
“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
“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.” — Doommantia
“…the best stoner/psych/doom releases of 2011.” — Holy
Grail From Hell
