about

•Quad guitar esoteric overtone rock•
Initially a solo vehicle for songwriter and multi-Instrumentalist STEVE PEACOCK (ULTHAR, PANDISCORDIAN NECROGENESIS, MASTERY), APPRENTICE DESTROYER's first album Glass Ceiling Universe (Castle Face 2015) weaved an eclectic, driving soundtrack akin to analog Berlin school krautrock. With the recent expansion of four lead guitarists (including members of VASTUM, ULTHAR and PALE CHALICE), modular synthesis and pummeling live percussion, AD's new album and live shows have developed into an exercise of harmonic overtone experimentation. It's heavy feedback laden melodies, cavernous vocals, and repetitive rhythmic fervor share dynamics with '70s synth prog / punishing noise rock and prepared garage guitar academia. All Guitars and Drums for Permanent Climbing Monolith were captured live at Different Fur studios in San Francisco, and mastered for vinyl by JAMES PLOTKIN.

Along with being commissioned to score the video accompanying the Grammy winning Voyager Golden Record, 40th anniversary edition (Ozma Records 2017), Apprentice Destroyer and related music from Steve Peacock has been covered by Pitchfork, Noisey, Wire, Decibel, Playboy, All Music, and more.

Recommended for fans of Swans, Glenn Branca, Neu and Tangerine Dream.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime. scarface6204

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
