SMOTE (UK)
For those who dream to wash within the sonic unearthings of primal incantations, this is for you. His most recent record, songs from the Free House embarks on a mediative heaviness, steeped in folk drone ambience.
Drone is alive, and ritual (and magick) is afoot.
F.F.O: Bong, OM, Swans.
SCATHING GOD aka 'Say, God + Scathing' (BRISTOL)
A improv collaboration between two of Bristol's heavy sounding and depressed ensembles.
On the cusp of esoteric. Loud and emotional. Gut wrenching, in a nice way.
F.F.O. The body, one leg one eye, Sunn O))).
ANCIENT HOSTILITY
AH's three part harmonies are nothing short of beautiful and viscerally painful, all the same time. Music for the communal wounds and communal healing.
F.F.O Crying, seraphic harmonies, hope for a better world.
THE NEW BRISTOL SHAKERS (BRISTOL)
An ensemble that cast dungeon folk exhumations of traditional shaker hymm's upon thyn ears. And so too, a treat for the eyes...word has it that they're known to perform with whirling pilgrims....
F.F.O. Ecclesiastic visions.
