Formed in 2011, INSECT ARK is the Berlin-based duo of American artists Dana Schechter (SWANS) on bass/lap steel/synth/vocals, and Tim Wyskida (KHANATE, BLIND IDIOT GOD) on drums/percussion.
“Raw Blood Singing” – the band’s fourth full-length – intersects the outer realms of avant-Metal, psych-Doom, and experimental Goth. Moving from tiny whispers of synth to a monstrous wall-of-sound via Schechter’s blistering lap steel guitar playing, diabolical bass playing, and the mammoth, searing power of Wyskida’s drums, they weave a landscape that is lush, bleak, vast and expansive.
