The Lord, the musical project of Greg Anderson of Sunn O))) and Goatsnake fame, will release its second record, Devotional, a collaboration with Petra Haden, which will be out 21st of October via Southern Lord Records. You can listen to the title track and "The End Of Absence" below.



The label about "The End Of Absence": " 'The End of Absence' is the second single to be taken from Devotional, the new collaborative album from The Lord & Petra Haden. The track is the closer of the album and provides a beguiling mixture of vocals and droning guitar to create a seductive atmosphere as incessant as waves beating upon a shore. Devotional is a rapturous and heady offering of wordless vocalizations, droning guitars, and heaviness explored in unexpected and intoxicating ways. Inspirations came from deep listening to Indian classical music, as well as a fascinating look at the chaotic and unbelievable life of Ma Anand Sheela and the Rajneesh community. Through a haze of incense, flowing robes, and secret mantras, Haden's voice rings out over constant drones in ecstatic chants throughout this musical investigation into the myriad of ways in which worship can lure and intoxicate."
