Emma Ruth Rundle has been on a tear lately.  The goth, metal, and folk influenced artist has released a slew of excellent material over the last couple of years, including some collaborations with folks like Chelsea Wolfe and Thou, and her latest is a haunting collection of ambient folk and drone, a subdued soundtrack to a decaying earth.  Get "EG2: Dowsing Voice" here via Sargent House and listen to the excellently titled, album closing "In Sadness for Our Dying World (here come the Christians)" below.

Thou, Mizmor, & Emma Ruth Rundle cover Zola Jesus

Last month when Sacred Bones announced their new "Todo Muere SBXV" compilation to celebrate their 15th anniversary, one of the tracks i was most interested in hearing was Thou, Mizmor, and Emma Ruth Rundle's take on the Zola Jesus song "Night."  Well, it's out, and it's heavy and magnificent.  Check it out below and pre-order the record here.  While you're there, check out a couple of the other tracks that have been released so far, including Boris covering SQURL and Marissa Nadler covering David Lynch.  Good stuff.

Emma Ruth Rundle has a new album heading our way in November.  The artist's work always feels heavy, whether its in sound or theme, and the upcoming "Engine of Hell" looks to be no different.  Check out the album opening, somber piano ballad of "Return" below.  Musically, it feels like a eulogy for the world.  Pre-order it here from Sargent House.
