Sun Shepherd formed in 2006, and has since sought to capture tectonic-plate heaviness by means of Guitar, bass, drums, and throat. Two albums have been released: "Gravestoned" (2006) and "Procession Of Trampling Hoof" (2011). Our doom-rock jams are volcanoes and uplifting mountains--vehicles by which we rise above the mundane procession of life.
"Procession Of Trampling Hoof" is the second Sun Shepherd album. The ultra-heavy processions of tectonic rock/doom riffage are underlying in all songs. The tones are subducting, drawing us deeper towards the core as a result of their inertia and specific gravity. The guitar/bass/drums jams are fuelled from the energy within these individuals, who's instruments are the voices that uplift mountains and volcanoes, giving life and experience to the world above.
The overlying set of lyrics--that is, the volcanic ash could--all generally relate to the Mystery of Experience that each one of us, at one time or another, is confronted by. What is our true source of strength? What will the large-time unfolding of events bring, and how will it be dealt with? How far can we get in this life? What mask shall we wear?
