Southern Lord are extremely honored to present the new collaboration album from Boris and sunn 0))) entitled: “Altar”. This album is NOT a split album. “Altar” is a true collaboration album between sunn 0))) and Boris that is a result of both bands conceptualizing, writing and recording the album together as one entity. Both groups have stepped outside their previous sounds and created a wholly unique album that stands on its own unique ground. There are elements of each groups trademark sound within the album but true to each groups progressive and experimental aspects, “Altar” moves into a completely new dimension. Also contributing additional entrancing textures are the guest collaborators on this album including:
* Jesse Sykes (vocalist:Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter) vocals on “Sinking Belle”. * Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) guitar on “Blood Swamp”. * Joe Preston (earth, Thrones, Melvins, High on Fire) vocals on: “Akuma No Kuma”.
Also: Bill Herzog, Phil Wandescher (Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter), Rex Ritter (Jessamine, Fontanelle), Tos Niewenhuizen (Beaver, GOD) , and Steve Moore (earth) . And certainly not last or least: Dylan Carlson plays on the 2nd cd bonus/exclusive track: “Her Lips Were Wet With Venom”.
ALTAR is packaged in a high quality mini-gatefold CD sleeve beautifully printed by our friends at Stoughton (they are responsible for the Southern Lord gatefold LP jackets over the years). A 12 page booklet is bound in to the sleeve, with metallic inks and spot varnishes. Surreal, evocative artwork by Aaron Horkey & Atuso and photography by WT Nelson and Rose Kallal complete this unique package into a work of art.
The mail-order version being offered here is a DOUBLE CD set. It is limited to 5,000 machine numbered (on sticker) copies. *Orders will start shipping on Oct. 24th. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery.
Tracklisting: CD-1 : "Altar" 1. Etna 2. N.L.T. 3. The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep) 4. Akuma No Kuma 5. Fried Eagle Mind 6. Blood Swamp
CD-2: "SatanOscillateMyMetallicSonatas" 1. Her Lips Were Wet With Venom (*this track is a 28 minute drone piece that features sunn 0))), boris and Dylan Carlson from Earth).
The tones, emotions, and energy that lurks within Altar is beautifully ominous. It is a very bold statement from both artists
Zitat von Inoxia RecordsSunn 0))) & Boris / Altar (Inoxia Japan version) The Japanese version of Altar comes with an additional bonus track on the main disc (subsequent pressings will still include this bonus track) and the first 1000 come with a limited bonus disc. We are accepting preorders now. Order now to make sure you get the first pressing with the extra disc! We start shipping on the 27th of Nov.
Ich finde die CD ziemlich geil, ist IMO sogar mein persönliches Album des Jahres. Vorallem "The Sinking Belle" hat es mir angetan,...einfach Musik zum eintauchen und abschalten. Die CD müsste eigentlich auch leuten gefallen, die nicht soviel mit Drone anfangen können. Also jedenfalls ist sie einsteigerfreundlicher als flight of the behemoth *g
Zitat von borisrocks.blogspot.comAnd yes, there is a new bonus song. Track 6 between 'Fried Eagle Mind' and 'Blood Swamp' is 'The Sinking Belle (Black Sheep)'. For those that like 'The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep) already this is gonna blow you away! I won't say much but it brings a whole new 'shade' to the song plus also adding to the esoteric second half of the album. Essential.

habs mir nun die letzten tage öfters reingepfiffen. im sitzen, im liegen und im schlaf. wirklich geil!! aber zwei tracks sind total kacke und zwar genau jene in denen die rabenstimme dieser frau rumkrächzt. dann suche ich immer hastig die skip taste. kommt es euch auch so vor als würde euch gleich ein ufo abholen wenn ihr die scheibe hört?
Für mich funktionieren SUNNo))) & BORIS völlig unterschiedlich, war deshalb gespannt auf die veröffentlichung & ich muss sagen ... die platte ist definitiv kein collabo zwischen beiden bands, sondern für mich eher ein split release ... & zwar von beiden bands eher ein schwaches.
Sicherlich nicht schlecht, wird aber in meinem cd player keine grosse halbwertzeit haben.
We are now ready to present to you the vinyl edition of the "Altar" album. This very special triple-vinyl version features completely over the top packaging that alot of time, care, effort, love and $ went into! The heavy cardboard gatefold jacket has a 14 page color booklet within as well as a special third pocket (on the right hand pocket of the jacket) that contains the bonus 3rd Lp. The booklet features exclusive imagery photos, and liner notes from Kim Thayil (Soundgarden)! Each of the three records come in specifically designed black (even on the inside) innersleeves. The 3rd LP "bonus track": “Her Lips Were Wet With Venom / (Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas) is a 28+ min. epic journey that is a result of both sunn 0))) and boris with Dylan Carslon (EARTH) engaged in a completely improvised, no holds-barred,mind - "altering" drone nirvana. Dark, powerful and ultimately up-lifting!
