ALTAR

ALTAR

By now both Southern Lord recording artists Boris and sunn 0))) should be no strangers to this universe. Boris has previously released 4 full length albums through Southern Lord (Absolutego, Amplifier Worship, Akuma No Uta and Pink) and sunn 0))) has released 5 full-length albums with the Lord: (Flight of the Behemoth, the Grimm Robe Demos, White1, White2, and Black One). We've all watched both bands go from obscure, heavy expermentalists, followed by a very small cult audience, to succesfully renowned artists appealing to a very eclectic, large audience. The Altar album is NOT a split album. Altar is a collaboration album between the two groups 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.
