scott miller/lee camfield/merzbow: no closure

No Closure is the collaborative output of ex-Sutekh Hexen members Scott Miller and Lee Camfield, with Japanese noise mastermind Masami Akita aka Merzbow. Mixing elements of psychedelia, black metal, doom, and industrial music, the three musicians created a spellbinding work of experimental art. Conceptually crafted in a dark basement recording studio in the Mission District of San Francisco and later fleshed out in Tokyo, Japan, Miller, Camfield and Akita have completely pushed the boundaries of sound far beyond their individual comfort zones. With the implementation of standard instruments being force-fed through loop pedals and precise layering, multi-instrumentalists Miller and Camfield set out to build an album rooted deep in the exploitation of intentional rhythms and deliberate patterning. Through their use of guitar, bass, drums, organs, synths and vocals, purposely devoid of their usual feedback and oscillator projections, they left the inevitable incorporation of varied sound manipulation and textures strictly to Akita, thus giving birth to this two-track, 44-minute long masterpiece of epic mind-warping and experimental composition.
