A Storm of Light and Nadja - Primitive North (Split) [2009]

Reaching well beyond their debut album, "And We Wept the Black Ocean Within", A STORM OF LIGHT has entered intense uncharted territories. Fusing delicate melodies with oppressive dirge metal and dense atmospherics, STORM have truly come into their own with these two phenomenal tracks. Contagious, hypnotic and haunting... although no major surprise considering A STORM OF LIGHT is helmed by frontman Josh Graham, who cut his teeth as the visual artist for NEUROSIS and founding member of both RED SPAROWES and BATTLE OF MICE.

The prolific duo of NADJA delivers one truly massive, 20+ minute epic of blissful genius. Their track consists of their patented molasses-thick wall of super-dense fuzz and surprisingly tuneful white noise spanning the spectrum of what NADJA is: a true behemoth of stark, glacial-paced sludge. Shapeshifting from a serene and uplifting aural setting to an absolutely soul-crushing Broadrick-esque industrial nightmare, NADJA is a beast of many faces.

On "Primitive North" we get the best of both worlds, as volatile remixes also accompany these original works. Each band has reconfigured the other’s material, resulting in remixes that compliment the original songs well, and near-perfectly blend the two groups together. Adding to all of this is stunning original artwork by Graham, packaged in a beautiful 5-color gatefold sleeve with a CD version of the same material included inside with the double vinyl LPs. Last but not least, the flipside of the remix LP has laser-etched artwork, helping A STORM OF LIGHT and NADJA take the whole concept of a "split" release to the next level.

Tracklist:
01. A Storm Of Light - Brother
02. A Storm Of Light - Sister
03. Nadja - I Make From Your Eyes The Sun
04. Nadja - Brother (remix)
05. A Storm Of Light - I Make From Your Eyes The Sun (remix)

The idea for a collaboration between Canadas prolific neo-doom duo Nadja and
New Zealands pitch black droners Black Boned Angel was first hatched in
conversations between 20 Buck Spin and Nadjas Aidan Baker around the time
Nadja released their Truth Becomes Death EP on Alien8 Recordings in 2006. 20
Buck Spin ran the idea by Campbell Kneale of Black Boned Angel, who at that
point was unfamiliar with Nadja. After hearing their material, the
complimentary potential was realized, and the groups began their
cross-continental collaboration sending music back and forth digitally.

Time passed and both groups, along with Campbells altar-ego Birchville Cat Motel,
were extremely busy releasing their own material. By the end of 2007
the collaborative effort had realized three fully formed tracks. One more
accessible track that included vocals called Christ Send Light was released
in 2008 as a CD EP on Kneales own Battlecruiser imprint. The other two long
tracks were combined for a full length release for 20 Buck Spin. With the
album being a collaborative effort 20 Buck Spin also convinced two close
comrades, David DAndrea and Stephen Kasner, to collaborate on some artwork.
Again, artistic collaborations take a great deal of time, and finally in 2009
both art and music have finally come together for this much anticipated
release.

The two 20+ minutes tracks contained on this self-titled collaboration have a
less accessible vibe then the Jesu-like track on last years Christ Send
Light EP. There are no vocals to be heard. They are comprised in equal parts
of Nadjas fuzzed-out, lurching and hazy dream-doom, and BBAs razor-sharp
metallic riff-shards. Extended passages of riff-static noise bleeds one track
into the next while deep space eerieness looms ever present in the shadows.
Finally the whole thing collapses under the weight of its own self-created
black hole. This is the end.
