Napalm Death's Shane Embury Releases New Electronic/Ambient Album as Dark Sky Burial (Listen)

Grind legends Napalm Death recently released their first new song in four years and a Sonic Youth cover and they had been gearing up for a lengthy North American tour until you-know-what got in the way. Today, long-running Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury has released a new instrumental album that pulls from chilled-out electronic music, ambient music, film scores, crackling noise, and other meditative sounds. “It’s times like these right now in the world I feel listening back that this album seems like a suitable soundtrack,” Shane says. Here’s more:

Shane has been forming the ideas for the first DSB Album for a few years – A l lover of all dark, Experimental music and a huge retro horror/sci fi Movie fan his vision for DSB is an inevitable and natural progression as a composer of music

“This is my first step on a different path,” Shane says, “but with the help of long time music partner Russ Russell who mastered the album and has added some amazing ambience”” Shane hopes people will find a connection to it and follow him as he embarks on his latest sonic expedition ..

The tracks were conceived on tour and finalised at his home studio “Napalm Towers” in Birmingham, UK.

“The tracks are a strange sort of therapy for me.” Shane says. “My mind is relentless and escapist at the best of times, and it’s times like these right now in the world I feel 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.”
