Stoneburner - Life Drawing

2014 album from one of the mainstays of the Portland, Oregon underground scene. To describe Stoneburner's music one need only look to the list of bands with whom they've shared the stage: Yob, Sleep, EYEHATEGOD, Neurosis, Buzzov-en, Weed eater, Saint Vitus, Watain, Tragedy, Noothgrush, Graves at Sea, Lord Dying, Drop Dead, Whitehorse, Wind Hand, Bastard Noise and etc. It's all about domination through amplification and soul-cleansing catharsis. LIFE DRAWING is the band's second album and third overall release following closely in the tradition of 2012's SICKNESS WILL PASS. Once again the tracking was done at Haywire under producer Fester's watchful ear and red-rimmed eyes. The same mastering engineer and cover artist were similarly re-employed. What's new is the Neurot logo on the spine and a handful of close friends on guest vocals including: Benjamin Caragol (Burials/Hang the Old Year), Joshua Greene (Bastard Feast, Ephemeros), Martinez (Transient/Landmine Marathon).
