"Into This Juvenile Apocalypse Our Golden Blood to Pour Let Us Never" is a captivating live album born from the electrifying collaboration between Japanese avant-garde legend Keiji Haino and the American/Canadian sludge metal band Sumac. Released on October 7, 2022, via Thrill Jockey, this six-track journey spans 58 minutes of intense, genre-defying music that blends noise rock, free jazz, and drone metal into a chaotic yet mesmerizing soundscape.
Haino, known for his raw, primal vocal style and experimental approach, brings his unique energy to the table, while Sumac contributes their signature heavy, dissonant sound. The album's title track and other compositions explore themes of logic, morality, and truth, wrapped in a sonic tapestry that is as thought-provoking as it is sonically assaulting.
Recorded during Sumac's 2022 East Coast tour, the album captures the raw power and spontaneity of the live setting. The vinyl editions, released during the tour, feature a striking olive with black and white streaks design, adding a visual element to the auditory experience. Whether you're a fan of experimental noise, heavy metal, or avant-garde jazz, this album offers a unique and unforgettable listening experience.
