Howlin Rain: 'Russian Wilds'new
Coming from the ashes of the wildly noisy Comets of Fire, Howlin Rain's music bears little resemblance to that group's cathartic psychedelic sound, mining instead traditional classic rock and soul for inspiration.

The latest release from former ISIS member Aaron Turner's new project begins with a piercing drone that segues into gorgeous analog synth and chant-like vocals before moving into Spaghetti Western guitar territory that is destroyed by a smattering of static and distorted vocals.
