Up until now, I'd been oblivious to J.R. Robinson 's Wrekmeister Harmonies , a metal/drone/vocal/rock project featuring a rather impressive roster of musicians.  This ensemble is releasing a third Wrekmeister Harmonies album called Night of Your Ascension on November 13th via Thrill Jockey Records and I've had a chance to sample some of the LP.  An excerpt of the second of its two tracks surfaced online yesterday via Revolver Magazine called "Run Priest Run."  It's about 12-plus minutes out of its almost 17, so it's a pretty generous offering.  You can check that out below: Here's a trailer for the release: All info and links were lovingly curated from the excellent people over at Earsplit PR.  Please check out the Revolver article as well.

A little over a year ago, I posted a video of a live performance that featured the Assembly of Light choir, who collaborated with the doom juggernaut The Body for their 2010 release, All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood.  It was revealed that an Assembly of Light LP will see release in the coming month or so, though there's apparently no set date.
