Panspermia It has everything, post-metal but darker. I don't think Galvanic Battery is supposed to be my favorite track but it is like a nice calming cup of bees. Favorite track: Galvanic Battery.

VetsFetchin' Never cared for the word “sacred” because sacrilege and blasphemy are kinda my staples. Here and only here, for this band, is the adjective an apt thing. Any other use of it is bullsh##.

Looking forward to the new stuff. Favorite track: Never Before Trodden.

about

The much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Subtle Phase, Sacred Bull’s sophomore full-length release Ragged Mountain represents the culmination thus far of the group’s dynamic, overpowering sound. A loose concept-album based on the short story “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains” by Edgar Allen Poe, the album is a heady, textured journey through haunted darkness and eerie light, oscillating between creeping menace and transcendent, spiritual fervor. Pulling together every musical strain the group draws upon, including post-rock, doom metal, and heavy shoegaze, Ragged Mountain is the fully realized vision of artists who know precisely what they’re doing, and getting lost in their shadowy world until the dawn breaks is an absolute privilege.

Sacred Bull is the culmination of a longstanding series of projects by its two founding members, guitarist Griffin Hans and drummer Zakk Wilder. They solidified after numerous precursory iterations in the summer of 2018, with the recording of their debut full-length Subtle Phase at the home-studio of bassist J Anderssen, who subsequently joined the group and thus finalized the lineup. They became a staple of the Athens metal scene as fostered by the legendary record store and musical resource Shadebeast, and went on to tour the east coast with Virginian doom kinsmen Tel. As of December 18th 2020, their second album Ragged Mountain is out now, on Super Carnival Recordings.
