Ottawa, ON doom
metal trio LONGHOUSE has teamed up with TheSludgelord for the exclusive full
stream premiere of their sophomore album "II: Vanishing" due out
digitally on Friday, April 14th plus will be available on physical cassette via
Sunmask Records June 2017 (date to be determined). "II: Vanishing"
follows their 2015 debut album ‘Earth from Water’, a spiritual odyssey into the
perseverance of the human spirit and the lessons we can learn from the natural
world.
Returning to Wolf Lake Studios to record with Mike Bond
(Loviatar, Norilsk,
Arms of the Girl) once again as producer and engineer. "II:
Vanishing" continues the pleasing progression of their debut while
retaining the band’s core sound of heavy, intricate riffs, splashed with a
touch of post-metal to guide you on a dark and visceral journey spanning nearly
40 minutes over five tracks.
Vocalist / bassist comments:
“II: Vanishing has a logical evolution that is evident in
the composition, as well as production. I also think that fans should take a
moment to reflect on some of themes that are threaded throughout the album. The
bulk of my ideas musically and lyrically come from exploring Indigenous ways of
knowing. I am Algonquin First Nations. My family’s community is Kitigan Zibi,
outside of Maniwaki, QC. However, I grew up in the city, mostly
detached from my culture. As a father, I have been trying to immerse myself in
the stories, wisdom, and strength of our Elders, knowledge keepers and story
tellers, so that I can pass that on to my daughters. Because this takes up so
much space in terms of who I am, and who I am becoming, it plays a very large
part in terms of influences I draw upon.”
