Now just a week from North American release, today Pitchfork is streaming INTER ARMA’s commended Relapse debut Sky Burial in its entirety. The band’s seamless coalescing of doom, psychedelic sludge, grind and black metal also further explores elements of noise and programming, along with elements of classic Southern Americana on the more than hour-long Sky Burial.
Let all eight roaring anthems from Sky Burial loose now at Pitchfork.
This week, INTER ARMA kicked off their massive tour schedule, the band currently embarked towards SXSW. At this year’s SXSW the Richmond crew will perform at a slew of shows and parties including Pitchfork’s Show No Mercy showcase, a Brooklyn Vegan day party, a March Madness showcase and the Relapse Records/Chaos In Tejas showcase. Following SXSW the band will continue their ongoing tour with Mutilation Rites, then scheduled to tackle several shows with Men’s Room, and finally an East Coast tour with Earthling in April.
