The Cult of Dom Keller are: Ryan Delgaudio - Guitar/vocals/noise, Neil Marsden - Keys/vocals/synth, Jason Holt - Bass/synth/backing vocals and Al Burns - Drums/sampler pads/noise ... “Noise” well, ‘Goodbye to the Light” is much more than noise, it get’s the hair’s on the back of the neck upright, from the off.
Sonic psych for the earlobes, reverb heaven this is a gripping record and, one lovingly played at volume!
Opening track, ‘Hole in the Whole” is a brooding song that grows in a matrix of sound, followed by ‘Broken Arm of God’ a real drone cracker of a song. An anthem for the band I’m sure. On this song the band said, “we wanted it to sound like a volcano giving birth to an atomic bomb. It has bass and baritone guitar that killed 3 guitar amps in one afternoon, then a studio preamp. It's probably costing us a fortune in damages and repairs. The result was exactly what we wanted though”

This record is the band’s third and finest so far and is released on London label Fuzz Club. The band themselves hail from Nottingham, a perfect place to compose such epic music.
The sheer scale of the album is impressive, 12 tracks and you need a lay down after the onslaught of just the third song, ‘Raven and Rockets’ which is just as well, as the fourth track is the slower paced widescreen song, ‘Deepest Pit of Emptiness’
So the album is well paced and one that keeps the listener hooked through to the end, it's well worth your time exploring.
The next step must be the live show!
