THE LORD - Forest Nocturne

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Southern Lord SUNN298 Release Year: 2022 Note: doom laden debut LP from the other half of SUNN O))) and man behind SOUTHERN LORD, GREG ANDERSON! => this is dark and heavy cinematic music, especially JOHN CARPENTER and BERNHARD HERMANNs soundtracks come to mind...- "it feels less like an album and more like the score to some dark psychological thriller/horror fillm. There is an eerie vibe throughout, and the songs creep up the back of your neck like skeletal fingers reaching for your throat" [Kirk Gauthier] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €20.00 More Info The debut solo album from sunn O))) axe-man Greg Anderson as The Lord. 8 song collection of dark heavy cinematic-inspired darkness. Limited edition vinyl release. Forest Nocturne sees Anderson taking cues from legendary film composers: John Carpenter and Bernard Hermann, in order to create cinematic landscapes which are heavy with tension, and offset by the injection of lethal doses of early 90s Scandinavian Death Metal - with Attila Csihar (of notorious Norwegian black metal band Mayhem) lending his putrid vocals to final track ‘Triumph of the Oak’. For Forest Nocturne, Anderson worked with renowned producer Brad Wood. Dan Seagrave's epic and fantastical style is instantly recognizable on the album's stunning artwork, something which seems to depict an ancient and unknowable force in the woodlands. Forest Nocturne is described by Anderson as “the music of the night”, but inspired by imagery conjured on daytime hikes, and majestic and beautiful trees, which he sees as survivors - and perhaps the last known connection that we have to an ancient world, and acting as a connector between past, present and future of the human race and of our time on this planet. https://thelordsl.bandcamp.com/album/forest-nocturne
