Sunn 0))) / Boris - Altar 2x cd version on Southern Lord numbered and limited to 5,000 copies.

Southern Lord are extremely honored to present the new collaboration album from Boris and sunn 0))) entitled: "Altar". This album is NOT a split album."Altar" is a true collaboration album between sunn 0))) and Boris that is a result of both bands conceptualizing, writing and recording the album together as one entity. Both groups have stepped outside their previous sounds and created a wholly unique album that stands on its own unique ground. There are elements of each groups trademark sound within the album but true to each groups progressive and experimental aspects, "Altar" moves into a completely new dimension. Also contributing additional entrancing textures are the guest collaborators on this album including: Jesse Sykes (vocalist:Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter) vocals on "Sinking Belle". Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) guitar on "Blood Swamp". Joe Preston (earth, Thrones, Melvins, High on Fire) vocals on: "Akuma No Kuma". Also: Bill Herzog, Phil Wandescher (Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter), Rex Ritter (Jessamine, Fontanelle), Tos Niewenhuizen (Beaver, GOD) , and Steve Moore (earth) . And certainly not last or least: Dylan Carlson plays on the 2nd cd bonus/exclusive track: "Her Lips Were Wet With Venom". ALTAR is packaged in a high quality mini-gatefold CD sleeve beautifully printed by our friends at Stoughton (they are responsible for the Southern Lord gatefold LP jackets over the years). A 12 page booklet is bound in to the sleeve, with metallic inks and spot varnishes. Surreal, evocative artwork by Aaron Horkey & Atuso and photography by WT Nelson and Rose Kallal complete this unique package into a work of art.
