The Faceless King
Vitskär Süden
2022
“The Faceless King” from @vitskar_suden clawed it’s way into the world last week, courtesy of the fine folks at @ripplemusic. Co-Produced and mixed by yours truly. Mastered by @hottonicmastering. What can I say about this record? I’ve been making art/video/music with @martin_garner3000 since around 1982 and from the concept to the music to the packaging, this might be his finest effort. But that’s not entirely accurate because it’s really a massive group effort with the rest of the band of badasses: @tj_webber, @eulipion.corps and @chopperirish.
I mentioned the packaging. This is truly something to behold. Not many (any?) records come with their own D&D module that deepens and expands on the story told in the lyrics. And the green vinyl is pretty wicked as well. Special shoutout to @bionicsasquatch who co-wrote the module. Another Garner that I’ve been making art/video/music with since circa 1982.
So if you’re into…. I don’t know what to call it?…. psych / heavy / concept / multi-hyphenate / otherworldly / space / whatever rock, then dig into this.
