Doom laden hardcore group Godhunter have collaborated with anthemic folk group Amigo The Devil, the two track Ep features one original track entitled ‘Weeping Willow’ as well as a cover of Nirvana’s ‘Something in the way’. The EP is scheduled for release for the Black Friday event on the 28th November.
Press Release:
As Tucson’s Godhunter takes their confrontational auditory demolition back out on the road this week for a twelve-city West Coast run with Sorxe, the band announces yet another new set of recordings destined to see release this Fall.
After the release of their debut album, City Of Dust and the more recent GH/0ST:S split LP with Oakland’s Secrets Of The Sky both released this year, Godhunter now announces a collaborative EP with Miami-based Amigo The Devil . While all of Godhunter’s 2014 releases have shown their generally crushing sludge/crust-influenced hardcore grooves giving way to more ethereal, organic rock influences, expanding the use of keys and acoustic instruments, the newly completed collaboration presents an incredible new sound completely.
The charismatic murderfolk of Amigo The Devil , currently calling Miami, Florida home, features the soulful vocals and Americana-based anthems of one Danny Kiranos, who here unites with Godhunter, who provides virtually all instrumentation on these two incredibly accessible, somber and beautiful yet ominous tracks. The collaboration, The Outer Dark, includes one original tune, “Weeping Willow,” paired with an awesome cover of Nirvana’s “Something In The Way” on the B-side.
As with City Of Dust and GH/0ST:S, The Outer Dark will see release through a union of Godhunter -co-owned Battleground Records and Earsplit’s label The Compound, who will release the album on 7″ vinyl on Black Friday, November 28th. Preorders audio from the release and more will be released in the near future. Nearly all of Godhunter’s prior releases are available via The Compound HERE.
Later this month, both bands will perform at Southwest Terror Fest III: The Western Front — the massive Tucson-based musical gathering co-created by members of Godhunter among others — with Godhunter performing at the Rialto Theatre on Saturday, October 17th with Eagle Twin, Pelican and Goatsnake, and Amigo The Devil performing sporadically and randomly at both The Rialto Theatre and the nearby The District Tavern over the entire four-day event. Leading up to the fest, Godhunter will torch the West Coast alongside Phoenix-based Sorxe, the tour beginning this Thursday, October 2nd. Both bands will perform at the two-day Lucifest II with Demon Lung, Reproacher, Secrets of the Sky and others, and will join the likes of Graves At Sea and more along the way before closing the tour down at SWTF.
