ASCEND!
We hit the studio again in June. More to come!
ASCEND is a new collaborative musical project between Gentry Densley (Iceburn, Eagle Twin) and Greg Anderson (sunn 0))),Goatsnake, Engine Kid). Both have been making music that has crossed paths several times in the last 19 years.(!!!) The most notable being during the 90s when Andersons’ band Engine Kid toured with and shared a split album with Densleys’ band Iceburn. During that time both were heavily experimenting with the fusion of jazz (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, John Coltrane) and the dark behemoth tones of influences such as The Melvins, Gore, Slint, Caspar Brotzman.
ASCEND re-visits some of the tones, moods, and modes of their past works as well as traveling into uncharted territory all done with the utmost focus on heaviness and power.
The result of their first recordings materialized May 27th 2008 in the form of the album:
“Ample Fire Within” CD ... vinyl, and japanese bonus versions forth coming in late 2008
