Among two of extreme music's most respected and accomplished contributors, Shane Embury most notably of Napalm Death and founding Sepultura drummer Iggor Cavalera have announced plans to released a split LP, Neon Gods / Own Your Darkness.
The project will be released via Cold Spring Records - the venerated underground label from the UK specializing ambient, harsh industrial and experimental music since 1990. Combining dark ambiance, rich synth and atmospheric dread, both Embury and Cavalera showcase the breadth of their creative range and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of extreme music.
Cavalera shares, “‘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 added, "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."
Neon Gods / Own Your Darkness arrives March 21st via Cold Spring Records. Get the split - HERE
