Metal giants Iggor Cavalera (Cavalera, ex-Sepultura) and Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Dark Sky Burial) have joined forces for a split album, Neon Gods / Own Your Darkness, released via UK-based Cold Spring Records.
Blending dark ambient, industrial noise, and heavy synth-driven electronics, the album feels like the soundtrack to a dystopian nightmare.
Cavalera comments:
“‘Neon Gods’ is a bit of a sonic trip, with different layers of atmospheric vibrations, from darkness to light. 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 adds:
“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 I was assisted by my longtime colleague, Russ Russell. As I journey ever onward in through my individuation it’s imperative that I own my own darkness… hence the title. We all need to strive for balance and to kindle a light in the darkness of being.”
The LP is available to stream and order via Bandcamp.
