TAKEN BY THE SUN: New
Hymn From Chicago Progressive Post-Metal Doom Bringers Now Crushing All
At The Sludgelord; Preorders Available
Chicago progressive post-metal doom bringers, TAKEN BY THE SUN,
who feature within their ranks members of architectural experimental
metal technicians, Scientist, will unleash their self-titled full-length
debut later this month.
Captured almost exclusively
live at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio Studio, engineered by Sanford
Parker (Twilight, Voivod, Eyehategod, Yob etc.) and mastered by Collin
Jordan (Eyehategod, Indian, Wovenhand, Voivod etc.) at The Boiler Room,
all in Chicago, Taken By The Sun is an all-consuming eight-track,
forty-two minute sound excursion that shape shifts from tranquilizing
to treacherous with heart-palpitating severity.
In anticipation of its forthcoming release, today The Sludgelord
offers up monolithic closing track "Ornaflux" for public ingestion.

A name signifying decay and rebirth, TAKEN BY THE SUN
was spawned in 2011. Though clearly rooted within The Windy City's
venue-quaking, riff-worshipping doom and stoner metal traditions, TAKEN BY THE SUN
take their audio manifestations far beyond those confines brandishing
fuzz-addled guitars, grinding bass, cavernous drums, and dry-throated
vocals fused with prog metal acrobatics, lush vocal harmonies, and pedal
steel twang to heighten the intensity and plain epicness of their
meticulous arranged compositions. With their self-titled debut, TAKEN BY THE SUN
translates the energy and diversity of their live performance in
recorded form. Tracked live with only minimal subsequent overdubs, the
album is faithful to both the earnestness and magnitude of the band's
sound. Multilayered, nuanced and gristly, thick gnarled riffs coil
around gravel-throated voice incursions, the planet rumbles, tracks
heave like the sky is breaking. Aggressive yet cathartic, at times
otherworldly, TAKEN BY THE SUN recalls the confounding
atmospheres of veteran sound contortionists Neurosis, Isis, Pelican,
Rosetta, Mouth Of the Architect, Red Sparowes, and The Ocean without
replicating them.
Taken By The Sun will be released independently on February 24th.
