Campbell Kneale, of prolific one-man bliss drone project Birchville Cat Motel, returns to his metallic alter-ego Black Boned Angel. Both projects chase a similar idea from different ends of the spectrum. The Endless Coming Into Life is Kneale's third full-length release as Black Boned Angel (in addition to a slew of CDR EPs), all released by 20 Buck Spin. This work is perhaps Kneale's most obvious combination of the extreme minimalism of his ambient tendencies and the extreme maximalism of his forays into the center of the subterranean metal guitar riff. The album first lulls one into a meditative state of relative calm before plummeting into the chasm created by the vibrations of a single, snarling riff so heavy it could rip a hole in the heavens. Consisting of a sole one-hour track, The Endless Coming Into Life sits comfortably alongside the darker end of Kneale's ever-growing catalog of work dedicated to finding the light (or dark) source of the universal drone.

***The latest and greatest from Campbell Kneale’s Black Boned Angel alter-ego. Another one-hour metallic drone epic that picks up where the critically unclaimed Supereclipse fiasco left off. Less suffocating than its unbearably caustic predecessor, Bliss & Void Inseparable sees Kneale creating a funereal dirge that merges the ferocious power of Black Boned Angel with the blissful dronespace of his main project Birchville Cat Motel. This makes for a journey that is both meditative and monumentally metallic satiating those into the more spacious forays of CORRUPTED, the Sub-Pop era recordings of EARTH or GODHEADSILO and the existential eccentricities of Z’EV or TRIBES OF NEUROT.
