Blackened doomhounds, CULTED, crush all your hopes and dreams with “Transmittal,” currently murking up the sound sphere at Pitchfork. The soul-suffocating anti-hymn comes courtesy of the band's Oblique To All Paths long player, scheduled for release via Relapse Records next week.
Comments Michael Klassen (guitar/bass/percussion/noise) of the track: “'Transmittal' is like the title suggests, a song intended to transmit an experience to the listener. Initially, it may lull the mind with hypnotic effects and repetition perhaps blurring vision and numbing consciousness. But it awakens with a scream to spark a flame and illuminate the world with fire, while scorching the wings of angels to finally reveal the collapse and coldness of space to the listener.”
“Transmittal” is currently streaming at Pitchfork for all your cold, dismal pleasures at this location:
