FROM PROPHECY PRODUCTIONS:
With their third album, Portland metal experimentalists EIGHT BELLS have
sharpened their songwriting approach to create a soundtrack for the end
of the world. "Legacy of Ruin" again features the trio's trademark
haunting vocal harmonies along with sometimes blistering, and sometimes
impressionistic guitar riffing to create heady atmospheres of dark and
light. Lyrically, "Legacy of Ruin" focuses on themes of the human
condition, natural destruction, death, regret, loss, malice, and
retribution.
EIGHT BELLS were conceived as the brainchild and songwriting project of
Melynda Jackson in 2010. The guitarist and vocalist named the band after
the final album of her previous act, SUBARACHNOID SPACE. While the trio
evolved through several line-up changes in the beginning, Melynda is
now supported by vocalist and bass player Matt Solis (CORMORANT, URSA)
Brian Burke (NO SHORES, CAVE DWELLER) on drums.
Following the release of the "Isosceles" EP (2011), EIGHT BELLS gained
international recognition for their debut album "The Captain's Daughter
(2013)" and tour support for SUBROSA across North America. With their
sophomore full-length "Landless" (2016), EIGHT BELLS consolidated their
reputation as one of the up and coming acts, joined VOIVOD in the US and received an invitation to Psycho Las Vegas, which the trio gladly accepted.
Now EIGHT BELLS are poised to share their music with a wider audience.
"Legacy of Ruin" was engineered and produced by the masterful Billy
Anderson (AMENRA, BELL WITCH, LEVIATHAN, SWANS), and has enabled the
trio to reach a new dimension of sound quality.
"Legacy of Ruin" is forceful confirmation that contemporary metal can be
artistically impressive, and at the same time novel and expansive in
its expression. Time to lean back, close your eyes and let EIGHT BELLS'
haunting and beautiful swansong to a dying planet crash all over you in
sonic waves.
