Bruce Lamont – Feral Songs For The Epic Decline CD

Bruce Lamont is known more for providing vocals, saxophone and other musical contributions to bands as diverse as metal's forward-thinking Yakuza and Bloodiest, industrial-influenced act Circle of Animals, and one of the country's most accurate and notable Led Zeppelin cover bands, Led Zeppelin 2. In July of 2006 Lamont made his debut solo performance, utilizing saxophones, guitar, voice, harp, percussion and looping effects. In 2007 Bruce recorded four tracks which he dubbed Feral, and three new tracks were recorded in 2010 called The Epic Decline; the two recordings were unified to form this, his first full length Feral Songs For The Epic Decline. Lamont's solo work takes the listener through tracks of dark Americana intermixed with loops, noise and drone. Acoustic guitar and clean vocals lead to trancelike tribal rhythms, with the sounds of tenor sax flowing over it all. Tribal rhythms lead to grating noise and anguished wails. Erie loops punctuated with Lamont's accusing voice pass to settling ambient conclusion. Grating noise builds to industrial soundscapes. Tenor flows over baritone sax drones, loops and builds with chilling wails. Bruce continues to perform his solo material live with all instrumentation provided by himself only.
