[QUOTE="whiskey_weed_and_women:488082"]The process is complete; the Altar album, culminated by the members of both Boris and sunnO)), comes to US stores on Halloween this year. Impossible to describe in anything less than an essay, the diverse album is a vortex of tone and a virtual maze of progressions sure to test the cerebral boundaries of many listeners, and fully appease the appetites of both bands' fans. Boris US tour with Pearls and Brass 09/05 Birmingham, AL - BottleTree 09/06 Athens, GA - Caledonia Lounge 09/07 Atlanta, GA - The Earl w/ Zoroaster 09/08 Asheville, NC - The Orange Peel 09/09 Chapel Hill, NC - Local 506 09/10 Baltimore, MD - Ottobar 09/11 Brooklyn, NY - North Six 09/12 New York, NY - Knitting Factory 09/13 Boston, MA - Middle East 10/12 Seattle, WA - Chop Suey 10/13 Olympia, WA - Manium 10/14 Portland, OR - Satyricon 10/15 Eugene, OR - *TBC 10/18 San Francisco, CA - Slims 10/19 Visalia, CA - Howie & Sons 10/20 Los Angeles, CA - Echoplex sunn 0)))/Boris - "Altar" release date: October 31st 2006 catalog #: sunn62 The Altar album is NOT a split album. Altar is a collaboration album between sunn 0))) and boris that is a result of both bands conceptualizing, writing and recording the album together as one entity. Both groups have stepped outside their previous sounds and created a wholly unique album that stands on its own unique ground. There are elements of each groups trademark sound within the album but true to each groups progressive and experimental aspects, Altar moves into a completely new dimension. Also contributing additional entrancing textures are the guest collaborators on this album including: -Jesse Sykes (vocalist: Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter) vocals on Sinking Belle. This track is completlely unlike either group has done before. Jesse's dark, and haunting melodic vocals beautifully compliment the stark, pensive music written for this track. Imagine the angelic atmosphere of Hope Sandoval singing for Neil Young-era Crazy Horse. -Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) guitar on Blood Swamp. Having seen both bands perform together Kim has become a devout follower of both and besides contributing some enthralling guitar work to the albums closing track, he penned the liner notes that accompany Altar!. -Joe Preston (earth, thrones, melvins, high on fire) vocals on: Akuma No Kuma. Joe has performed on both White1 and White2 albums from sunn as well as toured with both bands He can also be called the ambassador as he is responsible for introducing sunn to boris. The project wouldnt have been complete without his bizarre, dark pschedelia staining the proceedings. Bill Herzog, Phil Wandescher (Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter), Rex Ritter (Jessamine, Fontanelle), Tos Niewenhuizen (Beaver, GOD) , and Steve Moore (earth) all make contributions to this album as well. And certainly not last or least: Dylan Carlson plays on the vinyl only exclusive track: Her Lips Were Wet With Venom The tones, emotions, and energy that lurks within Altar is beautifully ominous. It is a very bold statement from both artists that will not only appease the present cult following but brazenly induct new devotees. Tracklisting: 1. Etna 2. N.L.T. 3. The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep) 4. Akuma No Kuma 5. Fried Eagle Mind 6.
