Iggor Cavalera / Shane Embury - Neon Gods / Own your Darkness (2025)

Cranking out two tracks of chilling Drone/Ambient/Industrial music, today we have Iggor Cavalera and Shane Embury. Featuring dystopian music full of unnerving atmospherics and haunting passages, each track creates its unique atmosphere and slowly envelops the listener into alternative worlds that both Iggor and Shane do not get to showcase on their main bands.

Opening with “Neon Gods”, this nearly 20-minute piece slowly creeps into the listener’s psyche with a disturbing Drone nature. Reminiscent of some of Masona’s and Merzbow’s work, this track delivers a slow burn that will be seared into the listener. Just think of the movie “Event Horizon” and you’ll slightly know what to expect.

The second side features Shane Embury’s “Own Your Darkness”, a track that creates a horror movie-like tension. The song slowly evolves while dwelling in some more industrial territories and cavernous passages, while a different type of unnerving than the first one, this one also sends chills down your spine when listened to in the dark.

Overall, Iggor and Shane do a pretty interesting job in creating tracks outside of their ‘norm’ that are contributions to their respective genres (or mixture of them). We found ourselves really enjoying these songs while reading a book late at night. If you are a fan of bands like Sunn O))), Raison d'être, and similar outfits, this release will be a good addition to your collection.
