Coming this June, Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury is going to release his debut solo album Bridge To Resolution, giving fans a glimpse into a period of reflection and upheaval in his life.
According to Embury, the collection of eight songs was written and recorded during the nightmare period a few years ago when COVID-19 murdered millions and shut everything down for an extended period of time. As his livelihood and plans of going on the road evaporated, Embury chose to get introspective and question himself on the topics of identity, family and creativity. And he did so by using the psychological concept of “shadow integration” — the idea that self-discovery comes from confronting the darker parts of one’s personality.
The result is a solo album that follows Embury’s sojourn from despair into resolution. You can hear part of that journey by checking out the album’s first single “Spasm Prayer”. The clip of that is below.
Though we all know Embury for his work in extreme metal, Bridge To Resolution falls more into his personal appreciation for atmospheric goth and post-punk. Citing influences like Cocteau Twins, Killing Joke, and The Mission, what resulted was a span of songs that sees Embury experimenting with synthesizers, guitars, bass, and layered vocals throughout.
Ex-Cancer drummer Carl Stokes contributed to the project on the drums, while Crowbar, Paradise Lost, and Amorphis producer Simon Efemey handled, well, production. Other than that, the rest of the album is all Embury.
Bridge To Resolution will be released on June 5 via Dissonance Productions, but you can preorder your copy today.
