The latest project from legendary guitarist Mick Barr. Admirers of his previous work with Orthrelm, Octic, and Crom Tech will recognize his unmistakable sound, a virtuosic welding of metal-guitar expertise with influences as diverse as late-era Coltrane and Master Musicians of Joujouka. Though still seriously heavy, the songs on "Anoint" have a more deliberate compositional component. Themes and variations recur throughout the album, giving the complexity of Mick's guitar work a new level of harmonic depth, like an extended suite of string duos. The record ends up sounding like the improbable, awesome child of Beethoven, black metal, and drone-pioneer Giacinto Scelsi. "Barr's bionic guitar work is the furthest extreme yet in the ongoing cybermetal sweepstakes of the past decade" - San Francisco Bay Guardian.
