Psalm Zero: Drain – COMPACT DISCS

2014 release from this band comprised of respected Avant-Garde Rock musician Charlie Looker (ex-Extra Life/Zs/Dirty Projectors) and Andrew Hock of Castevet. Considering the artists differing outputs, one might imagine a collaboration would result in an unresolvable musical clash; however, the duo crafts intriguing experimental Metal with Lookers distinct vocal style providing the perfect counterpoint to Hocks harsh delivery. Pounding rhythms complement melodic arrangements, while programmed synthesizer and electronic beats also find their way into the mix. The Drain, recorded by legendary producer Martin Bisi (Swans, Sonic Youth, Helmet, Bill Laswell, John Zorn, etc.), is one of the most unique heavy music albums of 2014 and will introduce the band to a worldwide audience.
