Six Organs of Admittance plus Comets On Fire in the orchestra pit equals "Ascent" - the new long player from Ben Chasny (200 YEARS, RANGDA, COMETS ON FIRE) & company. It's an electric-church kind of ceremony: strapping on guitars & drums & letting rip as a 5 piece full-tilt rock band. No matter which astral sign guides these neck-throttlers, they're together in every move. They even unearth cuts from "Compathia/Dark Noontide", reworking them in 180 degree turns from the original versions. Recorded by Tim Green.
