News: New Album Out Soon For The Sun Through a Telescope ...

The Sun Through A Telescope, the blackened drone-doom metal project by the Canadian multi-instrumentalist Lee Neutron (a.k.a. Leigh Newton), is back with a brand new album bearing a rather disquieting and contrasting title, “I Die Smiling”.  Lee says about this title: “ambiguous by design, possibly referring to a feeling of morbid self-satisfaction” …But contrasts are common in the style of this polyedric musician who is able to make you plunge in the bleakest abysses or to cuddle you with the most ethereal, soothing sounds and atmospheres, as shown in his previous works ( HERE and HERE ).

The new album “I Die Smiling”will be a new tormented exploration across black metal, doom metal, grindcore, sludge, drone/doom, ambient and psychedelia. It should be out during late spring/early summer and available in three formats: digital download available via Bandcamp, digipack CD available via Mutants of Monsters Records, and cassette available via Dwyer Records.


In the meantime you can have a mouthful of what will come by listening and, above all, looking at this awesome and, well, shocking music video that was produced by Phil Osborne for track Mr.Yawning Infinity Chasm/SuperInfinity. The sounds develop like a hurricane of evil and grimness and are paired with the sequences of striking images made of childish drawings depicting horrible sides of the human nature (war, bombing, killings, cruelty towards animals, etc.) and the worst nightmares. The only possible escape seems to make off towards a world devoid of humans …  rerally impressive! Definitely for fans of: Jesu, SunnO))), Khanate, Thou, Horseback ….
