Thunder Grey Pilgrim
Thunder Grey Pilgrim makes heavy doom laden sounds. It will fit in the dark atmosphere as Sunn0))), but unlike that group Thunder Grey Pilgrim seems to stay away from rock instrumentation. “Demogorgon” is the name of the brand new CDR on Debacle Records that showcases this sound. The two times I’ve played it in the store so far, its gotten attention. Three long track of thick and ominous atmosphere slowly dredge the air. Of course Sam of Debacle is thrilled about the release, and that is one thing that makes this label so good - Sam loves the stuff he works with. This is another chapter in his documentation of Seattle noise artists, and like the others is limited to 100 copies.
While getting this new disc, we also got copies of the recent Summon Thrull title. This self-titled release is the creation of Dustin Kochel of Physical Demon (you might remember them for their recent set opening for Wolf Eyes and Black Dice). This one has all kinds of crazy electronic noises which are in constant motion. There are some harsh moments here, but the majority of the disc is more in the strange territory. As above, this one is limited to 100 numbered copies.
