radiatorhums Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm sure it's just all the black swirls, but it reminds me of the Enter cover. I like all the art of scene thus far, I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neanderthal Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Glad to know his vocals are still super intense. When I first heard Common Species it felt like my skin was blown off by pure sonic force. throwgncpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Announcement from Profound Lore: OLD MAN GLOOM – Complete Work On “The Ape Of God” Published September 12, 2014 | By Profound Lore Records Everyone’s favorite band in the entire universe, namely OLD MAN GLOOM, have completed work on their new album “The Ape Of God”. In what will present itself as some of the most engaging and triumphant work that the simian worshiping collective of Aaron Turner (Isis, Mamiffer, SUMAC), Nate Newton (Converge/Doomriders), Caleb Scofield (Cave In), and Santos Montano have conjured to date, “The Ape Of God” comprises itself of songs that range within the realm of the eclectic, noisy, ambient and experimental with of course the gargantuan steamroller heaviness that plows and forges its way through this work of monolithic sonic art. Basically what one can only expect from the legendary and influential OLD MAN GLOOM, who made their glorious return several years ago to an unsuspecting public with their “NO” album after an eight year hibernation period. As for the concept and meaning behind the title “The Ape Of God”, this refers to what Aaron Turner describes as “a medieval reference to the trickster archetype, or the devil. The trickster archetype is associated with the following characteristics: “a fondness for sly jokes and malicious pranks, his power as a shape shifter, his dual nature, half animal, half divine, his exposure to all kinds of torture, and – last but not least – his approximation to the figure of a saviour” (CG Jung). “God’s Ape is also related the idea of the fall of humanity or human sin. Referencing this character addresses facing our darker side, especially that which has held unconscious sway over us and dictated our actions, and becoming healthier more fully integrated beings as a result of this action. It seems to me this is a common point in some way between most of the lyrics that have been written for this album.” To be officially released on Nov 11th on CD/digital via Profound Lore Records and on 2xLP via SIGE, and once again recorded, engineered and mixed by longtime conspirator Kurt Ballou of Converge with mastering done by Brad Boatright of Audiosiege, some tracks set to appear on “The Ape Of God” include ‘Fist Of Fury’, ‘The Lash’, ‘Shoulder Meat’, and ‘Arrows To Our Hearts’.

Derek™ Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Must not listen... Respect. I feel like I'm only one of two or three people who try to avoid spoiling upcoming albums with singles. Especially when it's almost guaranteed that said album is going to deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it's almost guaranteed that said album is going to deliver. There are certain records that I want to experience unspoiled. I don't want to hear this one piecemeal.

Neanderthal Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 With ya, Ghostdrones. I'm holding out as well at the moment. I think because NO felt like such a solid track to track listen, with a lot of cohesion. I think this will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neanderthal Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Listened through once. Definitely doesn't come out banging like No did, in my opinion. Seems slightly more bland but will definitely revisit for further critiquing. Last song struck me on the first listen though. Really, really great.
