Iggor Cavalera (ex-Sepultura, Petbrick, etc.) and Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Dark Sky Burial, etc.) have joined forces to bring you all a unique combination of dark ambient and industrial noise. Cavalera and Embury have announced their new split Neon Gods / Own Your Darkness, due out March 21 physically (and streaming on Bandcamp below right now). The split features the 19-minute "Neon Gods" by Cavalera as the opener and the 13-minute track "Own Your Darkness" by Embury as the closer.
"'Neon Gods' is a bit of a sonic trip, with different layers of atmospheric vibrations, from darkness to light," said Cavalera. "It's an absolute pleasure to do this split release with Shane, I believe we share a lot of similar ideas when it comes to opening our mind to different styles of sounds
Embury added: "Iggor and I have been good friends for decades and this is a record very different for us both but amazing! A very interesting track to make, it was my first experiment with the Solar 42. An excellent synth for those eternal drones of despair and was assisted my long time colleague Russ Russell. As I journey ever onward in through my individuation it's imperative that I own my own darknessā¦ hence the title. We all need to strive for balance and to kindle a light in the darkness of being"
The cover for Neon Gods / Own Your Darkness was done by Abby Helasdottir. Pre-orders are available here.
