Since the release of his 2011 album Transparencies, guitarist Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia, Gorguts, Vaura, Byla) seems to be putting more momentum behind his solo, ambient efforts.

Polar Night is his latest collection of guitar-conjured drones and soundscapes, and you can stream it all you want via the widget above. The release contains three tracks, or phases: Two 8-minute pieces, and a 25-minute monster. Enjoy!

Kevin Hufnagel- Transparencies

New Tracksadmin1 Comment

Guitarist Kevin Hufnagel is best known for his contributions to the world of modern metal through acts like Gorguts, Dysrhythmia, While Heaven Wept, and more. But underneath all of these extreme sounds has been thriving passion for ambient music and soundscapes. This latest release isn't Kevin's first foray into this genre, and it sounds like it. I say that because the textures on this album are pretty gripping and affecting, which is a feeling I rarely get from this style of music--well, outside of producers like Tim Hecker, sure.

Give this 11-track experience a listen. Some unquestionably great sounds are on here.
