Review of II on Anti-Gravity Bunny

The people (well, person) at Anti-Gravity Bunny have written a review of II that is actually better than the album itself, I think. You should read it.

Early Warning

Chicago Reader Sun Splitter feature

Huge thanks to Miles at the Reader for writing this piece on Sun Splitter.

Monument I download!

I just found a free download of our friend Noah's Monument- I cassette. I've had this one in my stereo for the better part of the year, really excellent ambient black metal stuff. Highly recommended.

Or you can buy it from Sol Y Nieve here.

Free download at Brooklyn Vegan

Thanks to Brooklyn Vegan for offering a free download of "Northern Blood Tithe" from the Sun Splitter II cassette. You can stream two tracks from us and one from The Swan King here.

Permanent Records review

The kind folks at Permanent Records have some copies of Sun Splitter II for sale, and had these nice words to say about it:

"New Tape - Sun Splitter - II - Sun Splitter is from Chicago, but we have a feeling they won't be known as a "local" band too much longer. "II" is their new tape on the Locrian-run Land of Decay label and it contains 4 fucking epic metal-gaze jammers. Fans of all things Justin Broadrick, well maybe not ALL things, but most things Broadrick (ie. Jesu, Godflesh, etc) and industrial post-metal will absolutely love Sun Splitter. Word on the street is that they kill live too. This cassette is limited to 100 and will not likely last long. "

Recording, Martyrs show

We just got back from Great Western Record Recorders where we spent a couple of days recording a new album with Matt Talbott. The studio was incredible, and we are very happy with the rough mixes. We'll post details here when the album is available (late spring?).

Friday night we were honored to share the stage at Martyr's with Anatomy of Habit, My Cold Dead Hand and The Swan King. Both My Cold Dead Hand and The Swan King were new to me, and they both performed very impressive sets. The Swan King has a melodic hardcore/metal/rock style and totally shredded; My Cold Dead Hand was thick, low and slow rock n' roll and both were excellent. Anatomy of Habit closed out the night with a powerful performance that left my head spinning, great people and just such an excellent band. Thanks to Mark Solotroff for assembling the evening and to Martyrs' for hosting.

Sun Splitter "II" Available for Order Now

We will have copies of this at Martyrs' tomorrow (1/7) or you can order here.
