The idea for a collaboration between Canada s prolific neo-doom duo Nadja and
New Zealand s pitch black droners Black Boned Angel was first hatched in
conversations between 20 Buck Spin and Nadja s Aidan Baker around the time
Nadja released their Truth Becomes Death EP on Alien8 Recordings in 2006. 20
Buck Spin ran the idea by Campbell Kneale of Black Boned Angel, who at that
point was unfamiliar with Nadja. After hearing their material, the
complimentary potential was realized, and the groups began their
cross-continental collaboration sending music back and forth digitally

Time passed and both groups, along with Campbell s altar-ego Birchville Cat
Motel, were extremely busy releasing their own material. By the end of 2007
the collaborative effort had realized three fully formed tracks. One more
accessible track that included vocals called Christ Send Light was released
in 2008 as a CD EP on Kneale s own Battlecruiser imprint. The other two long
tracks were combined for a full length release for 20 Buck Spin. With the
album being a collaborative effort 20 Buck Spin also convinced two close
comrades, David D Andrea and Stephen Kasner, to collaborate on some artwork
Again, artistic collaborations take a great deal of time, and finally in 2009
both art and music have finally come together for this much anticipated
release

The two 20+ minutes tracks contained on this self-titled collaboration have a
less accessible vibe then the Jesu-like track on last year s Christ Send
Light EP. There are no vocals to be heard. They are comprised in equal parts
of Nadja s fuzzed-out, lurching and hazy dream-doom, and BBA s razor-sharp
metallic riff-shards. Extended passages of riff-static noise bleeds one track
into the next while deep space eerieness looms ever present in the shadows
Finally the whole thing collapses under the weight of its own self-created
black hole. This is the end.
