Thou - Supernaut

Thursday, time for a cover.

"Supernaut" is the fifth song from the album Vol. 4 by British heavy metal band BLACK SABBATH. The tune is known for it's "riff", a tune that has inspired many rock acts during the years.

Sacred Bones Records is celebrating BLACK SABBATH's self-titled and "Paranoid" records with a brand new covers album called "What Is This That Stands Before Me?". The covers album features Thou performing "Supernaut," Marissa Nadler doing "Solitude," and quite a few more!

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of both the self-titled BLACK SABBATH album and "Paranoid", Sacred Bones is proud to present "What Is This That Stands Before Me?", a compilation of SABBATH covers recorded by artists from across our roster. BLACK SABBATH stands at the crossroads of every Sacred Bones employee and artist's musical taste, and it was a great pleasure for us to work together to reimagine some of their most beloved songs. Here you'll find SABBATH through the filter of the post-Soviet darkwave of MOLCHAT DOMA, the experimental folk of HILARY WOODS, the laid-back psych of MOON DUO, and a half dozen more genres besides. Satan's coming 'round the bend.

Today's version is made by the American sludge metal band THOU, a band that was formed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2005.

Stream "What Is This That Stands Before Me?" below and grab a copy in a few formats here.

Enjoy today's tune!

Thou - The Changeling Prince

THOU is an American sludge metal/experimental doom band formed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2005. The current line-up of the band consists of Bryan Funck (vocals), Andy Gibbs (guitar), Matthew Thudium (guitar), and Mitch Wells (bass).

"Magus" is THOU s first full-length since 2014’s "Heathen". "Magus" is dedicated to the sacred ego, that wellspring of individuality and unique complexity. Sing the song of the Inner Voice. Recite the hymns to the Celestial Will. Rebuke all desire to succumb to corrosive idolatry—be it the militancy of extremity, the beneficence of untempered ideology, or the divinity of cherished relationships. Rebuke the impulse to capitulation, to hide beneath of hard shell of callous disregard and secede from the world. We surrender our power only to those worthy of wielding it. And we will not hesitate to strip authority from and war against all those that prove unworthy.

The album was released August 31, 2018 , recorded in 2017 by James Whitten. Mastered in 2018 by James Plotkin. Additional vocals by Emily McWilliams.

Today's tune "The Changeling Prince", taken from "Magus". The video was directed by: Bryan Funck & Mitch Wells, lighting design: Michael Moises, edited by: Mitch Wells. Enjoy!
