Shrinebuilder - Shrinebuilder (2009)

Shrinebuilder are like Tyson, Louis, Frazier, and Ali but leaving your consciousness on the canvas with another kind of pummeling.

Composed of doom heavyweights Scott Kelly (Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot), Al Cisneros (Sleep, OM), Dale Crover (Melvins, Porn, Nirvana), and Scott Weinrich (Saint Vitus, Wino, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand). The previous mentioned bands should be medically required anesthesia and this debut is equally prescription worthy.

A seamless drift between tectonic plate shifting grooves and ashen soaked astral planes.  Psychotropic merchants bringing concussions.  A cohesive blend equal parts hypnotic and narcotic.

Tracks:
1. Solar Benediction
2. Pyramid Of The Moon
3. Blind For All To See
4. The Architect
5. Science Of Anger

Riffs like meteors filled with boiling chili showering down on the Salem witch trials.
