Sunmask
Records, Pre-Rock Records and Superbob Records are proud to
tri-release the forthcoming split from Canada’s Shooting Guns and
ZAUM titled Himalaya To Mesopotamia on November 6, 2015.
Hailing
from Saskatoon, SK, in the heart of the Canadian prairies, JUNO and
Polaris Prize award nominees Shooting Guns are hard at work
fortifying the heavy end of the psychedelic spectrum, haunting the
foggy moor between Sabbath-styled doom riffery and heavy pulse-riding
kraut-rock. Shooting Guns recently created the score for the movie
WolfCop and won the 2015 Western Canadian Music Award for Metal/Hard
Music Recording of the Year with the WolfCop Soundtrack, which was
released in 2014 through One Way Static Records, RidingEasy Records
and Cinecoup. Their sophomore LP, Brotherhood of the Ram released in
2013 via Riding Easy Records, was nominated for the 2015 JUNO
Metal/Hard Album of the Year as well as the Polaris Music Prize.
Their debut LP, Born To Deal in Magic: 1952-1976 was also nominated
for the Polaris Music Prize in 2012.
ZAUM
is a passage toward the dark realizations of the ancient middle east;
in the form of a monolithic doomy mantra based meditative experience
forged by bass and drums interwoven with sitar and synth textures.
Based in New Brunswick – their live presence is very true to its
recorded form both melodic and dark vocal styles met with elements of
sectional Mongolian throat singing. Observers experience a calming
process of reality whereby the astral and physical planes can
co-exist and be understood from a natural perspective. Their debut
album Oracles released in June 2014 was nominated for an ECMA Award
for Best Loud Recording and reviewed nearly 100 times - subject to
much critical acclaim primarily throughout Europe. In their 1.5
years as an active touring band ZAUM have amassed over 125 shows
(mainly international) under their belts including support stints for
Voivod – also Pentagram and Graveyard this November 2015.
