'To Hold Onto A Heartless Heart'
by
Mekigah
The fifth album (and first in 7 years) by Australian experimental doom band Mekigah was recently released by the legendary European metal label Aesthetic Death, and features SL on guitar throughout.
Complex, challenging and highly experimental, 'To Hold Onto A Heartless Heart' presents 6 tracks of weaving, sludging, borderline-industrial doom metal, repellent with dissonant textures and dark ambient atmospherics. Sova Locus contributed guitar to around half the album, mixing tremolo picking with slow paced down-tuned guitar that was then manipulated and mixed in together with the plethora of other instruments and signals.
A true honor to have contributed to this gem of an album and to listen back with an incredibly well-mastered production by Greg Chandler (of legendary doom band Esoteric). CD comes as fold-out digipack, featuring artwork and drawings by Mekigah.
Composed, recorded & mixed by Vis Ortis & L.R in Tasmania.
Mastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Studios
Additional Guitars by Sova Locus & Richard Ziltch
Extra chants by AP & Con BCTW
Chainsaw by Sammy
Saw & additional backing vocals by PRT
Released by AD (CD/Digital)
