Sunn-Oracle

With Southern Lord's 77th installment of a legacy of post metal releases, Sunn is at it again with their brand new record entitiled Oracle. With the addition of Atsuo(drummer from Boris),Attila Csihar(from Mayhem) on vocals as well as the original members Stephen O and Greg Anderson this recording makes for an extremely ecclectic mix of influences. With the title track, "Belürol Pusztít," it begins with very slow, heavy guitar resonance and Attila Csihar's landmark "sealed in a coffin" vocals spoken in Hungarian. Around the 15th minute, Joe Preston makes his entrance with a jackhammer solo, nearly drowning out the mix. Besides the musical element of this release the visual appeal is also fascinating. A collaboration with New York sculptor Banks Violette helped contribute to the music offering a replica of Sunn's backline cast in salt. I'll save the rest for you to enjoy. http://www.southernlord.com/
