BROTHERS OF THE SONIC CLOTH is
the sound of earthly decomposition and planetary demise; a slow,
entrancing dance towards a looming apocalypse... thick, monolithic,
deliberate and devouring. Fronted by Seattle's legendary guitarist/vocalist Tad Doyle -- formerly of TAD and Hog Molly -- BROTHERS OF THE SONIC CLOTH
is a trio of longtime rock soldiers that includes veteran bassist Peggy
Doyle and drummer Dave French (The Anunnaki) and their forthcoming
full-length debut maintains a long-held tradition of conjuring some of
the heaviest music from the darkest depths of the Pacific Northwest.
Slated for release next month via Neurot Recordings, Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth
was captured at Robert Lang Studios and Doyle's own Witch Ape Studio in
Seattle, Washington and mixed by Billy Anderson (Sleep, High On Fire,
Melvins et al). Thrusting forth five hauntingly heavy
tracks, with two bonus hymns included on the CD edition, the offering
serves as Doyle's first recorded release in nearly fifteen years. BROTHERS OF THE SONIC CLOTH's
audio manifestations are welcomingly unfamiliar, splicing thick, jagged
riffs through chilling post-punk drumming and hulking compositions that
blow soulfully hot and desolately cold, sometimes within the confines
of one track. Their longform pieces present the kind of mature ideas and
expansive progressions that outpace the listener's short-term memory
leading them off the proverbial map; familiar landmarks like sludge,
post-metal, rock all but disappeared over the horizon. Authentic and
authoritative, Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth is as much a
persistent thudding body punch of sonic destructive force as it is a
thoughtful statement of awareness and the inescapable raw condition of
life.
In
celebration of its imminent unveiling, today Neurot Recordings is
pleased to bring listeners a taste of the heavy with a five-minute video
teaser that finds Doyle giving an in-depth look at the impetus in
creating BROTHERS OF THE SONIC CLOTH, the tracking process and the weighty themes that bind the record.
Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth will be released February 17th, 2015 via Neurot Recordings with further album clips to be released in the weeks to come.
