Search - Common Eider, King Eider :: A Wound Of Body

A Wound Of Body is the first chapter in Common Eider, King Eider's Wound ''duology''. A Wound Of Body forms the group's most focused and fully realized work to date. Offering a sprawling, audio exploration of wounds at once physical and spiritual, social and societal, natural and environmental. ''A Wound Of Body'' is a beautifully stark soundscape, dolorously dense, suffocatingly oppressive and utterly claustrophobic. An immersive black hole of bleak, cavernous drone music and disquieting, desolate ambience, each track a hushed and harrowing ritual; the surface minimalism underpinned by a churning morass of sound, a layered liturgy of blackened invocations and nebulous strings hovering in the shadows. Presented in a beautiful black and silver duotone sleeve, adorned with images of micro-landscapes rendered in bone, stark images of the alien, otherworldly topography that lurks beneath the skin, emblematic of the inevitable decay and disintegration of our physical forms: the ruin we become, and the ruin we leave behind.
