Sonic Cathedrals Vol. LI Curated by -(16)- is 19 track, whacked-out heavy journey packed full of awesome grooves. Last week, these lords of heavy released their new album, Deep Cuts Dark Clouds, via Relapse, and the record is the shit! Now it’s time to make your ears melt – have a listen to -(16)-‘s Sonic Cathedrals Vol.LI…Check out the band’s description below, stream the mix and download after the jump!
“Mixtape” is a term that conjures up such weird memories. For me, it was a mixtape that I awkwardly gave to some girl with braces who hung out at the skate ramp. Hopes were that I was turning her on to something, or better yet, that I would somehow subliminally find her to be a kindred spirit, so that we could drink Dr. Pepper and Captain Morgan while her parents were out of town. Dry humping to Dead Can Dance or staying up late to watch “Headbanger’s Ball” would surely follow.
In the times before the “headphone isolation” that is music today, there would also be the mandatory mixtape taken on tour. If we were lucky, the tape deck had “auto reverse,” so we didn’t have to flip the cassette, and could use our motor skills more wisely by smoking weed out of a coke can while driving through a snow storm out of Reno en route to Gilman.
Anyway, onto our contribution: Aside from some obvious -(16)- influences, the songs that Tony and I chose are more like what you’d hear at a high school reunion. That is, if your high school was wasting your twenties and thirties playing metal and trying to erase your teens by way of feedback and breaking bottles in squats. Enjoy!
