Praxis To Release Old Album With Patton, Tankian
Posted on January 12, 2011 by Chris Harris
And by old, I mean that it was released in Japan — of all places — fucking two years ago. It hasn’t been available here and still isn’t. But that will change on February 8, when Praxis’ Profanation: Preparation For A Coming Darkness finally hits store shelves in America.
For this “new” old album, Praxis enlisted the likes of Iggy Pop, Mike Patton of Faith No More fame, and System of a Down’s Serj Tankian. To hear the Patton and Tankian tunes, just follow the jump, folks. They’re available as videos at the end of this post.
The record — which you can get on iTunes now, it seems — also features Doctor Israel, Killah Priest and Jamaica-born toaster Hawk. That must be one talented toaster!
The U.S. release of Profanation comes with two live bonus tracks not included in the rare, Japan-only import. Since 1992, the core members of Praxis have been guitarist Buckethead, bassist Bill Laswell, and drummer Brain from Primus…I think. Right?
That could be really interesting. Anyone heard Buckethead? His mellow stuff like Colma and Electric Tears is really good guitar instrumental stuff. I really dig Bill Laswells Bob Marley remix lp too.
Art - jeez man, that is mental. Buckethead obviously has good taste (even though it must be said he seems a deeply strange guy). He can truly play geetar tho.
Praxis feat. Killah Priest "Galaxies"
