Clouds Taste Satanic Covers Album Cloud Covered Available to Preorder

If you were in Clouds Taste Satanic — the New York-based instrumental heavy/doomers who released their sixth LP, Second Sight (discussed here), in 2019 — and you were putting out a covers record, you’d probably find some variation on “cloud cover” to use as a title too, so don’t judge. Let’s face it, everybody — everyone, everywhere, ever — loves wordplay. If you don’t, you’re not human. It’s how I tell the difference between people and replicants. That’s right, my own personal Voight-Kampff.

The band issued parts of what’s become Cloud Covered as a series of digital singles last year and into early 2021, but fair enough to add some more and pull it all together under one banner. Who’s gonna argue? And they certainly don’t skimp on breadth, between Elton JohnNirvanaFlaming Lips and Sabbath. Wait, a doom band that likes more than doom? Who authorized this?

Cloud Covered hits March 19. Preorders are up via Bandcamp in case you’re the type who likes (1:) not playing by the rules and (2:) taking care of tasks in advance:

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC 7th Album ‘Cloud Covered’ From Post-Doom Quartet Due This Month!

Pre-Order via Bandcamp: https://cloudstastesatanic.bandcamp.com/

As promised, the instrumental post-doom quartet CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC returns this month with its seventh full-length album, ‘CLOUD COVERED’. Due to release on Friday, March 19, 2021, the new record features covers of tunes that have had a profound influence on the band but are not necessarily from the Metal/Doom genre.

Portions of the album were previewed in ‘The Satanic Singles Series’, which released its first of four parts on November 6, 2020, featuring “Funeral For A Friend” b/w “Also Sprach Zarathustra”. Three more singles were released in December, January, and February, leading up to the full-length ‘Cloud Covered’ album, which has two additional tunes not released in the Series.

‘Cloud Covered’ Tracklist:

“Funeral For A Friend” (Elton John)
“Behind The Wall Of Sleep” (Black Sabbath)
“If You Doom Me Now” (Chicago)
“Blew” (Nirvana)
“Sleeping On The Roof” (Flaming Lips)
“Also Sprach Zarathustra” (2001)
“Not Fragile” / “Free Wheelin'” (Bachman Turner Overdrive)
“Cecilia Ann / Rock Music” (Pixies)
“Auf Wiedersehen” (Cheap Trick)
“In The Flesh?” / “One Of These Days” (Pink Floyd)

Without a doubt, these covers are heavier than the originals, but not necessarily doomier. After six full-length albums (including a double) of original instrumental doom, ‘Cloud Covered’ is a way for the band to change up the pace both for themselves and their supporters. Still fully instrumental but with songs well under the 20-minute mark, these songs make for a somewhat different CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC listening experience.

The songs included in ‘Cloud Covered’ were engineered and mixed by Ben Rice at Degraw Sound in Brooklyn and mastered by Alan Douches (High On Fire, Converge, Mastodon) at West West Side Music. The ‘Cloud Covered’ artwork is original pieces done by Alexandre Goulet, whose graphic design work has graced numerous metal records including every album by Dopethrone. Be Heavy or Be Doomed…

‘Cloud Covered’ will be available in Vinyl, CD, and Digital formats, with release set for March 19, 2021.
