Summon

VINYL FORMAT. Gatefold double LP; limited to 500 copies and including a DVD for a visual interpretation of the side-long, twenty-one minute track "Miserere"! NYC's Bloody Panda released their critically lauded sophomore album Summon in late 2009 via Profound Lore Records. Now, 20 Buck Spin has the honor of bringing this harrowing, disturbing vision of doom to the analog format. Characterized by a horror-inflected wall of amplifier drone and stunning percussive arrangements that showcase a variety of tempos, Summon is a one-hour journey through the lowest depths and dankest dark chambers of doom. Frontwoman Yoshiko Ohara conjures both Diamanda Galas and Jarboe with her banshee-like screams, howls and vocal exorcisms. There's no doubt Summon is a difficult masterpiece of modern experimentalist doom abstraction, and it can now be "enjoyed" on four sides of pitch black wax.
