ASCEND is a new collaborative musical project between Gentry Densley (Iceburn, Eagle Twin) and Greg Anderson (sunn 0))),Goatsnake, Engine Kid). Both have been making music that has crossed paths several times in the last 19 years.(!!!) The most notable being during the 90s when Andersons’ band Engine Kid toured with and shared a split album with Densleys’ band Iceburn. During that time both were heavily experimenting with the fusion of jazz (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, John Coltrane) and the dark behemoth tones of influences such as The Melvins, Gore, Slint, Caspar Brotzman.
ASCEND re-visits some of the tones, moods and of their past works as well as traveling into uncharted territory all done with the utmost focus on heaviness and power.
The result of their recordings will materialize at the end of May in the form of the album:
“Ample Fire Within”
We were very fortunate to have alot of help from our friends: Andy Patterson, Randall Dunn, Stebmo, Bubba Dupree, Kim Thayil, Bill Herzog, Don Mcgreevy, and Mell Dettmer to complete the album. Stay (de)tuned for more info on ASCEND
