Found this band by accident looked like a good accident
The band's origins were established in 2006 when Scott Weinrich contacted Al Cisneros and proposed that they form a collaborative band. They enlisted Neurosis frontman Scott Kelly on guitar and Al's drumming partner from Om, Chris Hakius, on drums.
As time passed word and anticipation began to gather about this newly proposed supergroup via internet blogs/forums. Shrinebuilder were a well known collective entity yet nothing had been heard regarding the act. In early 2008 drummer Chris Hakius decided to retire from playing music and as a result the Melvins' Dale Crover was drafted in to replace him. Over the next year the band continued refining their material and rehearsed in various configurations in Baltimore, San Francisco, Ashland and Los Angeles.
In January 2009 the time was right and the full band came together to record the material that they had previously sketched out. Scott Kelly documented the recording via his blog site 'We Burn Through The Night'. The debut Shrinebuilder record was recorded in no less than three days with Dale and Toshi Kasai (collectively known as The Deaf Nephews) manning production duties. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim, with one critic describing it as "expansive, intriguing and engrossing material from the cream of the doom metal crop"
so if you are a fan of doom and stoner metal this is a good band to checkout |
