GODHUNTER & AMIGO THE DEVIL - The Outer Dark [7"]

The Outer Dark is a collaborative 7” from Tucson’s GODHUNTER and Miami’s AMIGO THE DEVIL. With an ominous, acoustic, folk/Western musical theme far removed from GODHUNTER’s abrasive hardcore/crust-influenced sludge tones, here the quintet -- guitarists/vocalists Jake Brazelton, David Rodgers, bassist Dick Williamson, drummer Andy Kratzenberg, and keyboardist/cellist Matthew Davis -- is joined by one Danny Kiranos, a.k.a. AMIGO THE DEVIL, who supplies soaring vocals and ethereal Theremin contributions to the two-song 7” The Outer Dark. The A-side’s “Weeping Willow” is a fully original, ill-omened ballad from the collective, while the B-side is a bleak rendition of Nirvana’s “Something In The Way.” The record was recorded in multiple sessions during the Summer of 2014 at Arcane Digital Studios in Chandler, Arizona, and was produced, mixed and mastered by Ryan Butler. The Outer Dark saw release on Valentine's Day 2015 through a union of Earsplit’s label, The Compound Recs, and GODHUNTER-co-owned Battleground Records. Delivered at 45RPM on quality black wax for maximum clarity, the 7” comes in a run of only 300 copies worldwide, and includes a liner/lyric sheet. [The Compound/Battleground]
