LUSTMORD LOMBARDO Unleashes Abyssal Soundscapes with New Single

When two titans of the heavy and experimental music realms collide, the result is bound to shake the very foundations of sound. Enter LUSTMORD LOMBARDO—a formidable alliance between ambient maestro Lustmord and percussive powerhouse Dave Lombardo. Their latest offering, "The Desolate Shore Part I: Submergence," is the second single from their highly anticipated album, "The Pulse Of Atoms," set to drop on October 2 via Ipecac Recordings.

In a statement that echoes the weight of their collaboration, Lombardo describes the track as a meditative descent into the abyss, where the ground itself seems to shift beneath your feet. "There is a sense of the ground moving beneath you as shifting rhythms make it feel like nothing is ever completely still beneath the surface," he explains. This is not just music; it’s an experience, a deep dive into the unknown where each note reverberates like a heartbeat in the void.

The duo's first single, “Paleomagnetic Resonance,” was met with critical acclaim, hailed by Consequence as a “brooding atmospheric drone track” that sets the stage for the chilling explorations to come. Lustmord himself elaborates on the album’s concept, declaring it a genre-defying masterpiece that transcends the constraints of time and space. “It’s about a bigger picture. It’s the sound of the birth of the universe and the death of the universe; it's not rock and roll,” he states, hinting at the cosmic ambitions that fuel this collaboration.

What began backstage at a FANTÔMAS show nearly two decades ago has now blossomed into a project that pushes the boundaries of what we define as music. With "The Pulse Of Atoms," the duo has crafted an album that is as cold and distant as it is frantically engaging, showcasing an unexplored dimension of Lombardo’s artistry while reawakening Lustmord’s industrial roots.

Rather than adhering to traditional songwriting, Lustmord has constructed an evolving labyrinth of sound, allowing Lombardo to weave his percussive magic throughout. The meticulous mixing and mastering process was a balancing act—an attempt to harmonize two of metal’s most formidable forces into a cohesive soundscape that rattles the very core of existence.

“I’m very proud of this collaboration because it’s so different from anything else that I’ve done,” Lombardo asserts. “And to create this body of work with Lustmord—this guy is legendary! He rattles the plaster off of venues.” With pre-orders for the album now available—including exclusive limited-edition vinyl and digital pre-saves—fans are urged to prepare for a journey into the depths of sound.
