Press info from Southern Lord

Behold the debut album from  Eagle Twin.  Although Eagle Twin is a very new entity its helmsman: Gentry Densley is no stranger to innovative, heavy music.  Densley  was the musical visionary and leader of the legendary Jazz, Prog, Rock, Metal, Hardcore group Iceburn from 1991-2001.

Iceburn has been called the greatest  and most important musical offering from Salt Lake City since the Osmonds! Gentrys' playing has been very influential to alot of successful modern music groups such as: Isis, Pelican, sunn 0))) etc..  

In order to disseminate his majestic and mountainous riffs in the present day he enlisted massively behemoth skinsman Tyler Smith. The drums are not only a driving force that efficiently steam rolls over you they conjure a repetitious mantra that is eerily infectious.
Although Iceburn was primarily a instrumental force with Eagle Twin Gentry is much more vocal and the depth of his lyrics is endless. His vocal evocations bring to mind the hoarse rasp of Tom Waits and Howlin Wolf but possibly channeled through Tuvan throat singers!   His voice, is used much like an instrument and often times creates a unique drone of its own.  The riffs and music definitely have familiar reference points (Caspar Brotzmann Massaker,Earth, sunn 0))), Melvins etc..) but are crafted in a way that stands miles beyond the others.  

"The Unkindness of Crows" was recorded to tape in Seattle by Randall Dunn (earth, sunn 0))), Kinski, Ascend).

Tracklisting:

  • 'In the Beginning was the Scream'
  • Murder of... (mp3)
  • Birds of Black Hot Fire
  • Storytelling of Ravens
  • Crow Hymn
  • Carry on, King of Carrion
  • 'And it came to pass that birds rain down as black snakes'
