Dark Sky Burial Unveils "Mask Of Illusion"

DARK SKY BURIAL, the pandemic project of Napalm Death's Shane Embury, has released a "Mask Of Illusion," a new single from the forthcoming new album coming soon via Consouling Sounds. The dark-ambient collaboration with producer Ross Russell is another experimental trip outside of the box for the legendary grindcore bassist.

At the beginning rhythms for this tracks were around for a while, since I have many infinites loops and ideas…” – explains Embury. “With Russ we spontaneously decided to work on a new DSB track using the beats but more importantly using lyrics which I feel at this time more than reflect my mental health and vision towards the future…” 

He adds, “Over the recent few weeks on the road of The Melvins/Napalm Death tour opened by Dark Sky Burial, I became more and more confident and certainly wish to do more now with Dark Sky Burial, vocally”.
