Leather Hearse Steaming New Single From “Burn in Heaven”

LEATHER HEARSE is a project brought to life by Tannon Penland, the guitarist known for his contributions to the instrumental band LOINCLOTH and the ambient enigma GAUCHISTE. The concept of LEATHER HEARSE, named in tribute to the late singer and artist Dwain Curd of ’80s hardcore bands Graven Image and Sordid Doctrine, aims to create an ongoing and ever-evolving collective dedicated to the lifelong pursuit of unearthing all that is heavy.

Joining on drums is the masterful Hannes Grossmann, a percussionist celebrated for his work with iconic bands such as TRIPTYKON, NECROPHAGIST, and BLOTTED SCIENCE. Hannes is also in charge of recording and production duties at his Mordor Sound Studio in Nuremberg, Germany.

Emerging from a long hibernation, vocalist Lloyd Siege returns to lead the ceremonies. Known for his work in Richmond, VA’s beloved monolith of crushing heaviness, SLIANG LAOS, Lloyd’s powerful and unmistakable voice imbues these latest offerings with a haunting intensity and an air of unease.

Completing this incarnation of LEATHER HEARSE is a gathering of friends and co-collaborators, including fellow LOINCLOTH and GAUCHISTE member Tomas Phillips, whose contributions help shape the band’s unique sonic landscape, infusing waves of ambient depth that expand the overall auditory experience. Below stream one of the five tracks from “Burn in Heaven” – “The Air in the Crypt is Thick.” This five song EP is the first of two from Leather Hearse, out now on Southern Lord Records.
