White Swan, The
Nocturnal Trasnmission
Turquoise with yellow swirl vinyl. The White Swan features Mercedes Lander, former drummer of the late 90's groove metal band Kittie. Landers steps out from behind the skin-fortress to handle just about everything but play bass on this release. Bass duties are taken by Lander's friend and bandmate Kira Longeuay, with Shane Jeffers providing additional guitar to help fill out the sound. With their powers combined, they have created a heroic swell of atmospheric sludge and gothic cascades that will chill you to the bone and leave a patch of frost lingering between your toes.
