Sculptured

Hunter couldn’t help himself and tracked more percussion over the holiday break. We’re so excited to have him on board for the new album! Thanks for engineering.

Hunter Ginn completed tracking drums and percussion for the next Sculptured album. We’re incredibly excited to have him on board. He has tremendous chops and an exceptional balance of virtuosity and attention to nuance. He’s truly a drummer’s drummer. Thanks to for recording!

If you read Metal Maniacs back in 1996 you might have seen the first promo pic of Sculptured ever published. I was so excited when this happened. It blew my mind to see myself in MM. This magazine was so incredibly critical to my metal education while living in a small town pre-Internet. RIP Katherine Ludwig and Metal Maniacs.

Thank you Decibel Magazine and Forrest Pitts again for this engaging conversation. Here is the second part of our interview that began with a focus on Webern's Symphony and gradually expanded into other areas. In other news, we are completing the demos for the next Sculptured album with new drummer Hunter Ginn from tech metal gods Canvas Solaris. Thanks!

Fallow Heart: Truth in Dissonance Part II: Don Anderson (Sculptured, ex-Agalloch) On Art As a Leaderless Movement - Decibel Magazine In which we present the second part of Sculptured, ex-Agalloch guitarist Don Anderson and Decibel's Forrest Pitts lengthy discussion on creative musical impact.

We’re excited to welcome new drummer Hunter Ginn to Sculptured! Hunter Ginn is best known as one of the founding members of Georgia’s Canvas Solaris, who began as an experimental death metal band and evolved into a technical, cosmic instrumental, progressive outfit. They have released 6 full-length albums, a Coroner tribute 7” with Pharaoh, and is currently at work on a new EP. They are signed with Divebomb Records.

Hunter is also well-known for the Radical Research podcast where he discusses the experimental edges of rock and metal music with his cohost the noted music writer, Jeff Wagner.

The fifth Sculptured album is already well into the demo stage. The new material returns to some of the dissonance and experiments of Embodiment, while also reminding us of material from Apollo Ends and The Liminal Phase. Perhaps it’s the album that should sit between Apollo Ends and Embodiment.

Thank you for your support and for listening!

I had a really great chat with Forrest Pitts about Anton Webern's Symphony. The discussion gradually grew into a general one regarding music/art appreciation. Thanks to Forrest/Fallow Heart and Decibel Magazine for including me!

Check out our bassist Jason Walton's Snares of Sixes project. It's premiering over Decibel Magazine alongside an interview. Although Jason is best known for his work with the metal bands Agalloch, Sculptured, and Khorada, his most longstanding work has been in the genres of ambient/noise/electronics. Snares continues to be some of his best work. I also do some guitar on it as well.

I've received reports that the beer/album release event in Chicago went very well! I wish I could have attended, but traveling with an unvaccinated toddler at home just isn't in the cards. However, I must send endless thanks to the following individuals who helped make this event happen: Austin & Nathan at HammerHeart Brewing Company who brewed the beer and delivered it; Scott at Rebel Radio Chicago; Samu for hooking us up with the venue and making other arrangements; the folks at Metropolitan Brewing in Chicago; my team at BMG Leo Lavoro and Jonathan Bova. And of course everyone who attended, bought the LP and/or the beer! Cheers to you all and it means a lot to me that such a celebration occurred.
