Zoroaster completes Voice of Saturn
December 23rd, 2008 by Chad Radford in Listening Stack, Music news
Atlanta psych metal trio Zoroaster has completed its third album, Voice of Saturn, due out on Match 10th via the group-run Terminal Doom Records.
Voice of Saturn was recorded at The Living Room with Ed Rawls, and carries Zoroaster’s hallucinogenic hybrid of doom-laden metal, drone and dirge to bombastic new places, and even features a guest appearance from Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds on the song “White Dwarf.”
Voice of Saturn track list:
1.) Intro (1:00)
2.) Spirit Molecule (6:10)
3.) Undying (13:43)
4.) White Dwarf (5:42)
5.) Voice of Saturn (5:25)
6.) Lamen of the Master Therion (7:55)
7.) Outro (14:14)
Bassist / vocalist Brent Anderson was recently featured as a guest on MTV’s Headbangers Blog.
Zoroaster will embark on a full North American tour starting in February. In the meantime you can catch them on New Year’s Eve as they headline a bill with Withered and Subrig Destroyer at the infamous Clermont Lounge.
“Spirit Molecule” (live).

Isn’t the “voice of saturn” a synthesizer created by Travis Thatcher of Judi Chicago/Recompas fame?

Yes, he’s actually on the Voice of Saturn track with them. Trav also plays with Zoroaster a lot when they’re in Atlanta.

I meant whenever they’re playing in town rather than when they’re out of town.
