Whoever said Christmas comes but once a year is clearly not a fan of weird metal/experimental music. See, last summer, Pyramids leader R. Loren conceived of the most magical idea: to create the most amazing project EVER. By combining his formidable talents with those of really, really cool people such as J. Leah, Ted Parsons (Swans, Jesu, Godflesh), Simon Scott (Slowdive), Aidan Baker (Nadja), Colin Marston (Krallice), Vern Rumsey (Unwound), Dominick Fernow (Prurient, Cold Cave), James Blackshaw (solo and Current 93), Hildur Gudnadottir (solo and touring cellist for Fever Ray, múm), Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride), Jonas Renkse (Katatonia), and Marissa Nadler (solo, guest on newest Xasthur record), Loren has done just that with a new project called Sailors with Wax Wings.
The self-titled album, which features art by David Tibet (Current 93) and Faith Coloccia (Mamiffer), will be released by brand-new label Angel Oven Records. Album release date pending, but shhhh: If America’s enemies discover all these incredible artists in one place, it could spell disaster… because this is weapons-grade awesome.
