Sonolith to Release III Oct. 4
Vegas instrumentalists Sonolith will issue their new album, III, on Oct. 4. The band tell the tale below, and I won’t keep you from that, except perhaps to say that the list of hey-we’ve-played-with-these-bands bands below sort of illustrates the range of sound Sonolith manage to conjure. Last heard from in terms of studio work with 2021’s Voidscapes EP (review here), the dual-guitar outfit don’t have any audio out from the self-releasing new record yet, but their 2022 live outing, Live at Asteroid M, can be found below, courtesy of their Bandcamp. They also featured at Planet Desert Rock Weekend IV in their hometown this past January.
Info came from the PR wire:
Sonolith – Album “III” out Oct 4
Instrumental, heavy metal stoner doom from Las Vegas
Self-released (Vinyl, Digital)
Wizards of riffage cruising the stars in search of the heaviest groove in the universe, Sonolith return from their sojourn to the dark edges of space to deliver their new full-length, “III”.
IN THE BAND’S OWN WORDS:
“Sonolith is known as one of Las Vegas’s go-to live acts for massive riffs, heavy drums, and crowd-pleasing grooves. We have had the privilege to share the stage with bands such as The Obsessed, Truckfighters, 1000mods, Spaceslug, Nebula, Freedom Hawk, Borracho, Mos Generator, Sasquatch, Mothership, Lord Dying, and many more.”
“Upon its release on 9/15/21, the new EP ‘Voidscapes’ earned no. 24 on the September 2021 Doom Charts. We seek to repeat that feat with the release of our latest self-recorded and produced LP titled ‘III’, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making this album.”
“Sonolith’s third release was envisioned and summoned into being over the course of two years, burning the candle from both ends while working day jobs, performing live shows, writing, and recording. Sonolith became a four piece with the addition of our second guitarist, allowing for live performance of the densely layered, cinematic, and kinetic instrumental compositions that the band’s come to be known for. ‘III’ tells a story in sound and symbolism of a fraught journey undertaken to escape the persecution of a psychotic tormentor, through the high peaks and low troughs, towards eventually obtaining freedom and spiritual emancipation.”
