These are good dudes and a good band. All the best to Hull for their first release on The End Records, Sole Lord. The press release says:

May 26 has been set for the release of Sole Lord, the band’s first official full-length effort. The album’s 10 tracks are designed to play straight through as one 44-minute slab of epic, dynamic metal. “Hull?s three guitar attack achieves maximum sludgery, bashing your skull into the wall with a sledgehammer and smearing your brains across the floor,” MetalSucks.net has said of the band and Metal Maniacs described them as having “all the crush of early Mastodon met with the ambient fire of Neurosis, but somehow [Hull] avoids sounding like either one of them.”

Sole Lord features artwork by Josh Graham (Neurosis, A Storm of Light)

Sole Lord Tracklisting:

01. Innocence
02. Transition
03. Immortal
04. Deliverance
05. Wrath Of The Sands
06. Wanderer
07. Healer
08. Aesthetic
09. Architect
10. Vessel

Hmm, whatever happened to Metal Maniacs? In all seriousness, I think quote might be one of mine, but I can’t remember for sure. Sounds like something I’d say, though even if I did, I’m not sure if I want to take credit for the phrase “ambient fire.” What a cornball I am about bands I dig.
