The final release is by Sky Burial, aka Micheal Page, whom we met before as Fire In The Head, when he released his 'Be My Enemy' CD (see Vital Weekly 505). That was a dam fine great slab of noise music. For good reasons he choose another name when it comes to different music. Sky Burial is surely something different as it moves away from the true noise, in favor of a richer sound where rhythm and drones meet up. A bit raw and crude here and there, this is more along the lines of the works of bands that use guitars and drones to create their music, such as Skullflower, but throughout Sky Burial is a bit softer and less forward. That puts him aside of the others in this area, and that's very nice. Maybe some of the pieces are a bit long for what they want to communicate, but it's certainly a nice release.
