Eight Bells

The Flenser is proud to present the vinyl edition of the debut full-length from Portland, Oregon’s Eight Bells. Engineered by sound mastermind Billy Anderson (Melvins, Neurosis, Agalloch), The Captain’s Daughter is comprised of four organic soundscapes that oscillate seamlessly between the tranquil and the terrifying. Originally released on CD by Seventh Rule Recordings, this genre-defying masterwork draws from psychedelic rock, black metal and ambient metal. 
The power trio formed from the ashes of the San Francisco Bay Area dark psychedelic institution Subarachnoid Space. Eight Bells continues in that band’s tradition of heavy guitar exploration, adding blackened dissonance and minimalist vocals to the mix.
