• Two legendary titans of the extreme metal scene - IGGOR CAVALERA (Sepultura / Petbrick)
and SHANE EMBURY (Napalm Death / Dark Sky Burial) - join forces for this unique split of brooding
dark ambient, industrial strength noise, and heavy synth-laden electronics, creating what feels like the
lost soundtrack to some dystopian fever dream.
• Setting the tone for this double-headed behemoth with creeping, cinematic dark ambience, IGGOR
CAVALERA's side-long 'Neon Gods' unfolds into a brutal sonic nightmare. Equal measures of dread and
anguish come together with the occasional reprieve of slow, pulsating drones and almost meditative
waves of static. The crescendo of harsh industrial noise with heavy Death Industrial vocalisation is
nothing short of pummelling.
• "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" (IC).
• SHANE EMBURY's 'Own Your Darkness' merges menacing, pitch-black dark ambient and hypnotic bass
swells with celestial synth lines that subtly lurk around the peripheries. Rising and falling, ebbing and
flowing - until finally the all-encompassing apocalyptic bleakness, the enveloping darkness, closes in
around you.
• "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 was assisted my long time 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" (SE).
• Formats: CD in matt-laminate digipak (CSR294CD) and Black LP on 180gm heavyweight vinyl in a matt-
laminate sleeve (CSR294LP).
