Dude, Shrinebuilder. Seriously.
Making the case for justice in the universe is the supergroup Shrinebuilder, which the PR wire confirms will be releasing their self-titled debut on Neurot in October. Just in time for it to be album of the year. In case you’ve missed out and don’t know who the band is, here’s the full story, plus some November live dates and the album track list. I’ll see you at the NYC show at the Red Fish.
The first Shrinebuilder performances have been announced! The group have announced several US shows taking place this November. The confirmed shows as of now include a double set (early and late performances)?at Chicago‘s Empty Bottle on November 14th. Following that very next day will be the newly announced show at Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan.
11/14/2009 Empty Bottle – Chicago, IL (8 PM and 11 PM performances)
11/15/2009 Le Poisson Rouge – New York, NY
The much-anticipated?upcoming debut album?from the unit will be released on Neurot Recordings this October. Featuring Dale Crover (Melvins),?Scott “Wino” Weinrich (Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan), Scott Kelly (Neurosis) and?Al Cisneros (Om, Sleep), the album is a powerful?culmination of it’s members’ distinct styles that coalesce into an entity of it’s own. Comprised of five?epic passages showcasing this group’s grandiose merging of soulful doom dirges, spiritual mantras, monstrous buildups and chest-collapsing grooves, the self-titled debut is truly a must-hear album of 2009. The record’s stunning cover art comes from Josh Graham (A Storm of Light, Neurosis‘ visual media artist).
Shrinebuilder tracklisting:
1. Solar Benediction
2. Pyramid of the Moon
3. Blind for all to See
4. The Architect
5. Science of Anger
Dude, seriously.
I stumbled on this same info a couple of days ago and I cannot wait. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this since Scott was posting recording updates on his blog late December/Early January. This is certainly one of the most anticipated albums of the year for me.
