Legendary musician Iggor Cavalera and Australian experimental band Bolt Gun team up for the release of the EP The Warren.
Recorded during their respective pandemic lockdowns, the two artists have created an expansive piece of music that blends Iggor’s characteristic drumming style with Bolt Gun’s experimental black metal/post-metal.
The blackened assault of the track’s first half combined with a striking yet sombre ambient interlude, showcases Bolt Gun’s nuanced style, before descending into chaos and a crushing outro that is reminiscent of the post-metal styles of Amenra or Cult of Luna.
Lyrically The Warren is a homage to Brian Evenson’s novella of the same name, a surrealist nightmare of claustrophobia and annihilation.
'The Warren' is the single forerunner to 'The Tower', 3rd full length album by Bolt Gun.
Australian experimental metal band Bolt Gun return with their 3rd full length album The Tower. Since their first release in 2014, Bolt Gun have continued to push the boundaries of heavy music, adopting a semi-improvised style that combines elements of black metal, post-metal, noise and dark ambient.
The Tower is inspired by the literary works of Brian Evenson, Franz Kafka and Shirley Jackson and explores themes of isolation, extinction, absurdity and nihilism. Written throughout 2020 to 2022, the album expands on Bolt Gun’s interest in the dynamic possibilities of using ambient music within extreme metal.
The expansive tracks pull listeners into tornadoes of drone, noise and saxophone which then explode into more post-metal/black metal sounds. The music on The Tower is heavily influenced by 2nd wave black metal, experimental heavy bands such as Locrian and Swans in addition to the work of Colin Stetson and Bohren & der Club of Gore.
