Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury has launched his new ambient project, Dark Sky Burial. A debut record from the project titled “De Omnibus Dubitandum Est” saw a release today, April 07th and can be streamed below (you can purchase it via Bandcamp.) Embury worked on the outing both on tour and at home, telling Decibel of it:
“I have been forming the ideas for DSB for a few years now and being a lover of all music that’s ‘out there. As a huge retro horror/sci-fi movie fan, I envisioned DSB as an inevitable and natural progression for me as a composer.”
“It’s my first step on a different path but with the help of my longtime music partner Russ Russell, who mastered the album and added some amazing ambience. I hope some people will find a connection to it and follow me as I embark on this new sonic expedition.”
He continued:
“The tracks are a strange sort of therapy for me. My mind is relentless and escapist at the best of times. And it’s times like these now in the world that listening back that this album seems like a suitable soundtrack—a chance to sever reality here and there for just a little while is always needed.”
A new Napalm Death album titled “Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism” is due out later in the year.
