Blackwolfgoat - Drone Maintenance
Blackwolfgoat – Drone Maintenance
Blackwolfgoat is the solo experimental project of Black Pyramid, The Scimitar and Milligram guitarist Darryl Shepard, and “Drone Maintenance” is the third album he has recorded in this guise. It comes three years after its predecessor “Dronolith” and is very much a different beast. This is a loose concept album, which has added acoustic guitars and a few vocal samples to take what as done on…

Another great new album to audit this weekend, the one-man progressive drone project, BLACKWOLFGOAT. Darryl Shepard is the mastermind behind this one—you may recognize him from his roles as guitarist in Black Pyramid, The Scimitar, Roadsaw, and others. This is now the third release by BLACKWOLFGOAT and it’s a joy for amp worship aficionados. The album is humorously titled ‘Drone Maintenance’ (2014 - Small Stone Recordings), follow-up to 2010’s Dragonwizardsleeve and 2011’s Dronolith. As an aside, I’m having to add a lot of new words to my computer’s dictionary today!
To the press release: “A quasi-concept album, the ten-track Drone Maintenance sends Shepard into the future as a drone repairman, fixing and servicing rogue drones. Musically, BLACKWOLFGOAT’s palette has been expanded to include acoustic guitar and judiciously applied vocal parts, but the main focus remains the electric guitar itself — without any other instrumentation or ulterior motives, and frequently captured live in one take with minimal overdubs of carefully considered embellishments added to the base layer.
"Inspired by early-‘70s fusion, Krautrock, (Randy Holden’s Population II) and suffocating doom, each song could serve as a soundtrack for an as-yet-unrealized film, yet they stand on their own and transduce their own moods. Drone Maintenance urges listeners to leave all preconceptions of traditional music at the door and take an audio journey to places both bathed in sunlight and cloaked in darkness."
Please enjoy, with the compliments of this blogger ;)
