It
is but a few months since we last covered today’s featured artist LLNN,
but they are currently riding the crest of a wave, with the announcement that
their latest album “Loss” has been
picked up for a worldwide release via the renowned label Pelagic Records.
The
integrity of the label is unquestionable; indeed the label philosophy is to release a few records a year, and to maintain high standards of
quality and aesthetics, with the onus releasing genuine and challenging art,
that is inspiring and moving. So having delivered a
plethora of releases featuring The Ocean,
Mono,
Cult of Luna
and most recently Silver Snakes, LLNN are unsurprising euphoric
that a label dedicated to releasing quality products, will release “Loss” as superior CD and vinyl package. What bigger compliment can
a band be given, in an age where the album format is
increasingly getting discarded in light of the digital era.
Following
on from this announcement, we are delighted at The Sludgelord to follow up our original
article with another exclusive premiere from “Loss”. Today, we deliver
what the band describe as the most brutally
straight forward song and one of the heaviest they’ve ever written.
Christian
Bonnesen, vocals & guitar remarked about the track “It’s also a song that sees us
move a bit away from the more 80’s John Carpenter/Vangelis inspired synths of
our record “Marks” and into a more organic sound inspired by Brad Fiedels work
on the Terminator movies. We hope that you will enjoy the song."
Drawing
comparisons to Converge and Love Sex Machine but filtered through the
visionary mind of cult sci fi movies, LLNN’s
attitude to their compositions is one of devotion to embracing a variety of genres
but melding them into their own unique and outstanding personality. Please bear
witness to the quite awesome track “Monolith”
