Executioner's Mask "...Almost There"
Executioner's Mask "...Almost There"
…Almost There’ is a 30 minute, 8 track EP by the dark post-punk band Executioner’s Mask.
The band exploded with their Profound Lore Records debut ‘Despair Anthems’ which was praised by artists from Leviathan’s Jef Whitehead to The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle for its potent songwriting and stark execution. This was followed by the dreamy ‘Winterlong’ and its two hours of remixes by members of Full Of Hell, Deafheaven, Xiu Xiu and a litany of others.
Stripping down each song down to its essence over three blisteringly hot days in Houston, TX, ‘…Almost There’ is snarling, noisy and crushing. The songs are visualized through the unflinchingly raw illustrations of Gerald Scarfe (Pink Floyd) and refined through production by Anthony Sanchez and Jack Endino (Mark Lanegan, Soundgarden, Dwarves).
Available on vinyl from Seeing Red Records and on cassette from Summer Darling Tapes.
