London duo Sounds From The Ground come back with their 13th studio album entitled 'Native Soul'. Nick & Elliot have been making music together for over 20 years, helping to shape the panorama of the UK Electronica / Dub / Trip Hop scene with a series of forward thinking albums. This latest work is another statement of their longevity and creativity, mixing what they do best with exciting new influences. 'Native Soul' includes 10 tracks, forged in the studio between Autumn 2016 and Spring 2017.
Blood From the Soul is the vision of legendary musician Shane Embury, longtime member of extreme pioneers Napalm Death. In the early 90's Embury partnered with Lou Koller (Sick Of It All) to create the Blood From The Soul debut "To Spite the Gland That Breeds" (Earache, 1993). The album was an experimental fusion of industrial, metal, hardcore, and punk. And along with Godflesh, Pitch Shifter, Meathook Seed, and Scorn, they helped spawn a new wave of industrial-metal. Fast forward to 2020 and Blood From the Soul has awakened from hyper-sleep. Joining Embury on this new creative journey are now Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth, Cadaver, Bent Sea, Soilwork, Tronos, Brave The Cold, etc), Jacob Bannon (Converge, Umbra Vitae, Wear Your Wounds), and Jesper Liveröd (Nasum, Burst). "DSM-5" is a twelve song conceptual album from Blood From the Soul. Lyrically the album is written from the perspectives of human beings as well as sentient machines.
Sounds From The Ground delve once again deep into their archives to compile a second ten track compilation of unreleased and rare tracks. Spanning a ten year period from 2004, the collection features a sumptuous choice cut featuring Taz Alexander as well as the fans favourite 'Clover'.
