“It's a simple path that leads to a complicated vision; always in flux and never yielding to the destroyers.” – Scott Kelly on “Oracles Hex”

Scott Kelly (Neurosis) and producer/engineer/sonic warlord Sanford Parker (Buried At Sea) are restless. This inquietude has culminated in another collaboration. The two work together in Corrections House, a project that also features the talents of Mike IX Williams of Eyehategod, and Bruce Lamont of Yakuza. While Corrections House seem hell-bent on impersonal bludgeon and unfettered terror, the pair’s latest project — MIRRORS FOR PSYCHIC WARFARE — is far more restrained.

The band’s haunting self-titled debut is the sonic manifestation of insomnia, complete with the tossing, the turning, and the perennial dread that comes with facing another shabby daylight. The five songs lurch and pulsate across a desolate landscape with an almost curious obsessiveness. While Mirrors for Psychic Warfare may remind some of the best work on the classic Cold Meat Industry label, there is enough familiar Kelly/Parker-isms scattered throughout to keep the album stimulating. It is a work with more in common with a fever or a fitful wraith than a record.

As a precursor to its release, set for April 22nd via Neurot Recordings, today Decibel Magazine delivers the unsettling sounds of opening hymn, “Oracles Hex” for communal ingestion issuing of the track, “Ambient(-esque?), but tense and brooding, ‘Oracles Hex’ sits heavy, so fans of both associated artists will find plenty to enjoy here.”

Hear “Oracles Hex” at THIS LOCATION.

Mirrors For Psychic Warfare was realized and recorded by both Kelly and Parker at Actual 13 Studio and Hypercube respectively over the course of 2015. The record was mixed and mastered by Parker and will come available in CD and vinyl form.

HEAVY JUGGERNAUT BURIED AT SEA HEADING TO EUROPE FOR A SERIES OF LIVE DATES THIS APRIL

Uneasy and uncompromising in sonic heaviness and force, Chicago’s Buried At Sea will visit European shores this spring, courtesy of My Proud Mountain. Lying dormant for a while, with their last release Ghost being released via Neurot Recordings nearly a decade ago, this quadratic behemoth has now reawakened and is ready to be unleashed on the unsuspecting European masses.

Suffocating and snarling distortion coupled with sinister psychedelic whirs, Buried At Sea will shake their presence known in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with their concluding appearance being at the home of all things low-end and powerful – Roadburn Festival on Sunday April 17th. Buried At Sea’s Sanford Parker will also be appearing as part of his new musical endeavour, Mirrors for Psychic Warfare, with Neurosis’ Scott Kelly, on this date too.

WATCH THE TOUR TRAILER BY CHARIOT OF BLACK MOTH

Formed in Chicago in 2001, Buried at Sea quickly snared a viciously devoted cult following with honours, amongst the devotees, of being the loudest, the slowest, the doomiest, and the most crushing band on the planet. With only brief tours and the odd show, the band has made its impact predominantly amongst the tape traders and file sharing communities. The few that have actually experienced the band live testify wholeheartedly to those feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.

Expect your corporeality to be crushed into oblivion.

A brief history: Buried at Sea’s first recording project, a 2002 demo, has been passed around widely, containing the earliest material and foreshadowing the first proper release, which didn’t surface until late 2003. Migration, the band’s debut album released by Original Sound Recordings, was produced by bass player and vocalist Sanford Parker at his Volume Recordings in Chicago in June of 2003. The subsequent attention led to the tour and the follow up release, a one-sided 12 inch record titled She Lived for Others but Died for Us. The record, which was released by Seventh Rule Recordings in June of 2004, contained a guest vocal appearance from Brutal Truth’s Kevin Sharp and a B-side etching from Stephen O’Malley. Their offering Ghost, is a conceptual collection of recordings from 2005 and 2006 and served as a first offering for Neurot Recordings. Again produced by Parker at Volume, this next chapter takes the form of a thirty minute ponderous and encapsulating journey littered with all the trappings that have been made infamous by their sound.

Feel the sonic devastation of One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache at THIS LOCATION.

One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache came together during last year’s monolithic North American trek which united both bands. Amidst the chaos of tour life, the two groups found time to record together at Machines With Magnets in Providence, Rhode Island. The session eventually culminated into the harrowing sounds found on the album, which includes two bonus tracks as well as a bastardized rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “The Butcher.”

“A document of the overwhelming power of depression ... Throughout they’re taking risks, abandoning straightforward metal trappings to pile noxious noise blasts on shredded 808s (‘Bottled Urn’) or turning Leonard Cohen ballads into doom-metal dystopias… But even as they explore alien aesthetics, THE BODY and FULL OF HELL are constantly finding ways to uphold the spirit of each other's work.” — Pitchfork

“This release never feels like it is heading too much in one direction, managing to stay dynamic and repugnant at all time by switching between tortured doom and frantic attack ... That tortured vibe carries through One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache in every choice these bands make, resulting in a record that is both cohesive and hellish.” — Pure Grain Audio

"A landmark release in the realm of all heavy music ... For maximum experience, listen at full volume in a cold, bare and unclean room with flickering lights while half naked and in a deranged state.” — New Noise Magazine 

“One part noisy electronics, one part thick, droning sludge, one part blast-beat-centric hardcore, and a whole hell of a lot of negative emotions ... This album is everything disgusting and vile on this planet mashed into a half-hour of sound.” — Heavy Blog Is Heavy 

THE BODY and FULL OF HELL will take Europe by storm this April, including appearances at the renowned Roadburn Festival and providing support for Converge’s “Blood Moon” spectacle at the Electric Brixton, London.
