February 27, 2009, 15 years ago
San Francisco Bay Area progressive extreme metallers CORMORANT have unveiled a new song off their upcoming full-length, Metazoa, which was recorded with and produced by Billy Anderson (NEUROSIS, MELVINS, SLEEP, PRIMORDIAL). The song, entitled 'Salt Of The Earth, was debuted on the band’s MySpace page on February 24th at midnight their time (3am EST). According to bassist/vocalist Arthur von Nagel, the band chose to use Salt Of The Earth as the first single because, “The song succinctly brings our doom, folk, black metal, prog rock and death metal elements together.”
Mixed by Anderson and mastered by Justin Weis (HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE, LUDICRA, SLOUGH FEG), Metazoa features ten tracks of forward-thinking, multihued black metal that combines the folk-tinged atmospheres of AGALLOCH with straight-up heavy metal thunder, the expansiveness of post-rock, and the progressive blackness of latter-day ENSLAVED according to a press release.
Tracklisting for Metazoa: 'Scavengers Feast', 'Uneasy Lies The Head', 'Salt Of The Earth', 'Blood On The Cornfields', 'Hanging Gardens', 'Hole In The Sea', 'The Crossing', 'The Emigrant's Wake', 'The Sky Burial'.
