From Crucial Blast...
Even after spinning the last Atavist/Nadja collaboration II - Points At Infinity over and over, I'm still totally blown away by how different this first collab sounds from what you might expect. Just having the UK sludge/doom band Atavist involved with it makes me think that this is going to be unstoppably heavy, some sort of earth-crushing glacial doom exercise, and you'd think that Nadja would bring a heavy helping of their trademark guitar/synth sludge blowout to this project. But what the two bands put together is hardly "doom", and more like a crushing, dreamy dronescape that fans of krautrocky drift and ultraheavy amp-rumble will adore. The album features two tracks, each one almost half and hour long, and each is a vast expanse of dark gorgerous subharmonic drift. The first piece "Twentyfour:sixteen" begins with a soft sprawl of ambient slowcore filled with fragile guitar melodies floating through a slowly shifting surface of blackened rumble and grinding drones. This surface slowly grows more malevolent as the track continues, becoming entangled with shimmery washes of metallic drones and keys and streaked by heavily delayed guitar lines that build layer upon layer, until thick waves of distorted guitar rumble surge up and wash over the sheets of melody, turning the sound into a thick churning ocean of subsonic blackened doom riffage and kosmiche noodlings. The second side has "Twentynine:Thirtyseven(edit)", and it's another vast field of dark, cosmic drift, starting off much quieter than the previous one, filled with soft hovering feedback drones, hushed minor key guitars crawling over flurries of violin-like strings and clouds of muted ambience and swirling low-end murk. Towards the middle, some heavier guitar riffs begin to enter in, huge sludgy waves of distorted heaviness crashing against the towering drones, and it starts to sound like a trippy, krautrock version of Earth 2, huge whorls of Klaus Schulze style kosmiche drift swirling with massive doomy bottom end throb and crushing slabs of corroded metallic riffage. It's a mesmerizing, narcotized dose of crushing ambient sludge that fans of either band will want to hear - highly recommended!

HI All,
Just a quick note to let you know that the 2 x LP version of our 2007/08 album 'II: Ruined' has gone off for press and will be released on Aurora Borealis Records in the (hopefully) not too distant future along with a new shirt and a patch. ABX033

Heres a sneak peak at the cover art work.
