Shane Embury and Iggor Cavalera release a new split

Igor “Iggor” Cavalera (Cavalera Conspiracy, ex-Sepultura, etc.) and Shane Embury (Napalm Death, etc.) have joined forces for a split release. Both musicians have been pursuing more electronically augmented/ambient music, with Embury exploring that region with Dark Sky Burial. In the meanwhile, Cavalera has been involved in more conventionally metal endeavours, such as Petbrick and MixHell. Both musicians are further pursuing their ambient passions in this most recent collaboration. Embury provided the roughly 14-minute-long “Own Your Darkness,” while Cavalera added the 19:44-long “Neon Gods” to the excursion.

‘Neon Gods‘ is a bit of a sonic trip, with different layers of atmospheric vibrations, from darkness to light. It’s an absolute pleasure to do this split release with Shane, I believe we share a lot of similar ideas when it comes to opening our mind to different styles of sounds. Iggor Cavalera

Iggor and I have been good friends for decades and this is a record very different for us both but amazing! A very interesting track to make, it was my first experiment with the Solar 42. An excellent synth for those eternal drones of despair and was assisted my long time colleague Russ Russell. As I journey ever onward in through my individuation it’s imperative that I own my own darkness… hence the title. We all need to strive for balance and to kindle a light in the darkness of being.
