NAAM: Debut Album Artwork Unveiled

September 9, 2009

Brooklyn, New York metal band NAAM will release its self-titled debut album on October 20, 2009 via Tee Pee Records.

A first look at the CD's primo cover art — created by artist Ryan Hamilton — is available below.

The follow-up to the group's three-song mega-EP "Kingdom", "Naam" was recorded on an abandoned dairy farm in New York's Catskill Mountains and delivers "pitch-dark, utterly hypnotic songs that resurrect the concept of space-rock for a new era," according to a press release. "NAAM's raw, feedback-powered sound pools densely distorted riff-o-rama with throbbing bass lines and echoey, buzzy vocals that seem to hang in the open spaces in between. The music of NAAM conjures both post-apocalyptic dazzle and unsettling feeling via punishing, deeply penetrating repetition and twisted vapor trails of guitar. NAAM pounds giant riffs into submission resulting in downered sub-blues melancholia that sounds like the soundtrack to a missing hallucination scene from 'Easy Rider'. NAAM's high-voltage power and addictive sonance has found favor with both metalheads and psychedelic rock fans alike, all of whom have talked up the group's thundering musical muscle."

"Naam" track listing:

01. Kingdom
02. Stone Ton
03. Skyling Slip
04. Fever If Fire
05. Tidal Barrens
06. Icy Row
07. Westered Wash
08. Frosted Tread
09. Windy Gates
10. Black Ice
