Week 31: Highlights and Upcoming News

We’re just over four weeks away from the newest Earth Altar full-length titled “Hawk and Swan”. The band has recently released the last single - the album’s self-titled track on July 30.

Pre-sales are online now through our webshop in the link below. Recently announced as well is a new run of shows as  Earth Altar heads to the West Coast of Canada to promote the album.

From the Press Release:

The second full-length from Canada’s own Earth Altar is ready for atmospheric re-entry. The Kjipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia) based band will release “Hawk and Swan” on September 4th with Black Throne Records. A thick, nebulous mix of heavy, psychedelic, and electronic sounds carries themes of human history, story-telling, and mythos.

The thunderous, bombastic drumming of Jon MacIsaac leads, informs, and compliments the atmospheric, heavy basslines of Spencer Trout; which together paint a sonic picture of human imagination and curiosity.

“We began writing this record almost four years ago, while exploring and expanding our sounds as a two-piece.” Says Jon MacIsaac. “Jon and I always see how far we can take it, then dial it back one notch.” Adds Spencer Trout; he continues: “The songs are always growing, the structure always changing, and the meaning always deepening.” MacIsaac finishes: “We challenged ourselves rhythmically and structurally, while adding interludes and creating space between songs.”
