Apprentice Destroyer experimental project featuring members of Ulthar, Vastum and Pale Chalice premiere new album "Permanent Climbing Monolith"!

Shadowy experimentalists APPRENTICE DESTROYER recently announced their second studio full-length album, "Permanent Climbing Monolith", which will see release on 20th September. Today the band partnered with Cvlt Nation to premiere the record in its entirety. Check it out HERE!

Recently 2 album tracks - "Striped Dome Horizon" and "Falling Canyon Resonator" - were launched through an exclusive premiere hosted by New Noise magazine HERE! The album's title track, “Permanent Climbing Monolith”, was also premiered at Echoes And Dust HERE! The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Steve Peacock (ULTHAR, PANDISCORDIAN NECROGENESIS, PALE CHALICE, MASTERY), APPRENTICE DESTROYER is an experimental project that focuses on dense and layered soundscapes.

The first album, “Glass Ceiling Universe” (Castle Face, 2015) weaved an eclectic, driving soundtrack akin to analog Berlin school krautrock. With the recent expansion of 4 lead guitarists (including members of VASTUM, ULTHAR and PALE CHALICE), modular synthesis and pummelling live percussion, APPRENTICE DESTROYER’s new album and live show have developed into an exercise of harmonic overtone experimentation. Its heavy feedback laden melodies, cavernous vocals, and repetitive rhythmic fervor share dynamics with 70's synth prog, punishing noise rock and prepared garage guitar academia.

Recommended for fans of Swans, Glenn Branca, Neu and Tangerine Dream.
