Corrosive Shroud

Corrosive Shroud is the second album from Birmingham band Khost, following the 2014 debut Copper Lock Hell (CSR 202CD). The album has a singular theme: the hand-me-down concrete relics in which we necessarily live and from which we draw perceptions. The music is the sound of lightless blocks, oxygen-starved sheds, and apparitions, using stark and unrefined found sounds stacked against Khost's massively detuned guitars. The album features Eugene Robinson of Oxbow and Syan, who add their stories to the narrative, along with personnel Jo Quail, Daniel Buess, and Gustave Savy and a remix from Tel Aviv-based Hostage.
