High Mountain Tempel - A Screaming Comes Across The Sky (The Faultline Scriptures)
A darker ritual and a new herald. From California duo High Mountain Tempel, "A Screaming Comes Across The Sky" is the soundtrack to your next Apocalypse.  Arising from the golden ash of their last release "Pacific Sky Burial" (Lotushouse) this outing finds our intrepid travelers exploring new sonic and thematic terrain. HMT is the eternal sound questing project of Eric Nielsen and Keith Boyd. Eric has done time in and with Maquiladora, Buzz or Howl and various Japanese underground outfits such as Acid Mother's Temple, Astro and High Rise. Keith is a self-made musical alchemist weaving strands of aural gold from base material and mud. Together they bring you a fine distillation of ritual music for these blackened times. Drawing inspiration from sources such as Robert Rich, SunnO))), Terry Riley, Lustmord, Phillip K. Dick, Arthur Rimbaud and HP Lovecraft, High Mountain Tempel is an introspective yet outward reaching labor of love. This is music as voyage, dragging your nervous system out to the Cosmos with no plans on returning.  Continuing in the tradition of their last disc this project is an intensely beautiful hand-screened work of art. So don your cloaks and grab your tomes, the ceremony is about to begin.
