Sons of Alpha Centauri are back to release Buried Memories, a collaborative post metal colossus with industrial metal icon Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu…) and ambient gloom metal maestro James Plotkin (Khanate, Jodis, etc.). Buried Memories is the second part of the journey that started with last album Continuum!
Today we're thrilled to announce the premiere of another new track titled Hitmen, a Jesu remix, via No Clean Singing!
No Clean Singing notes: "In listening to the Jesu remix of "Hitmen" which we’re premiering just below, you’ll still want to move, but the overall momentum is much slower, and the mood much more dreamlike. Shimmering organ-like chords and the rise and fall of tension-building oscillations slowly ring out over the heavy, grumbling tones of a heaving bass and the measured thud of the drums. The atmosphere is ethereal and wondrous, but edged with a sense of anguish and foreboding, a kind of astral projection in which wraiths appear and disappear. As shining tones slowly appear and disappear themselves, the emotional effect of those simple notes is at once sorrowful and beautiful, un-real yet soulful. The droning thrum of enormous bass tones grounds the music in a feeling of craggy earthiness, but we still feel we’re somewhere out among the vast expanse of stars."
The new album Buried Memories has been mixed by industrial metal icon Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu...) and ambient gloom metal maestro James Plotkin (Khanate, Jodis etc.). Buried Memories contains two 10 minute slabs of eclectic ambient progressive rock and a series of interpretative remixes of the theme tracks by both Broadrick and Plotkin.
Justin Broadrick collaborates with the band on side A through the progressive riff saga of Hitmen which he has mixed and also provided two remixes in his guise as Jesu and another as the eponymous JK Flesh. These three staggering pieces of music elapse over 27 minutes of pure instrumental voyage in a way only Sons of Alpha Centauri and Justin Broadrick could deliver!
James Plotkin and SOAC collaborate through several tracks including Warhero a sprawling 10 minute odyssey and a masterful remix of SS Montgomery - the single from the bands classic instrumental landmark debut album.
After entering the Continuum (2018) the listener must now bury their memories. The darkness will envelope the listeners in this second part of their epic sprawling progressive dark rock saga. Stay tuned!
