STARGAZE INFERNO - Hayman Island Sessions LP Magazine

STARGAZE INFERNO - Hayman Island Sessions LP MagazineRecorded on Hayman Island off the coast of Queensland, Australia, the paths of stranded friends Ryko Kalinko (guitar & sampler) and Aemon Webb (vocals, guzheng & percussion) meet, creating an astonishing 3 part journey of deeply spiritual improvisations reflecting the beauty, isolation and nature of their vivid environment. There Are Many Moods Of Tropical Exultation carefully spends its 20+ minute track length conjuring a spell, bringing all dust in

and a constant and confident bass grounds each track

with this initial batch as the result

her sounds are all heart

adorned with violins

Corrosive hardcore music for the pit AND the pendulum recalling the stomping catchy vibes of recent luminaries like BOSTON STRANGLER or VIOLENT REACTION but channeling back to previous 80s hitters in the YOUTH OF TODAY/MINOR THREAT vein too

extended jams as trains whistled outside

it’s so rare that only very few hardcore record collectors know it

This version here is the first remaster ever

my band and Randall Dunn spent 9 days in Copenhagen recording this record

and was released by Beggars Banquet in 1981

Converge is to modern metal what the Ramones were to punk
