ALL THE HEAVENS WERE A BELL is a hypernostalgic syzygy between James Watts (Plague Rider, Friend, Lovely Wife, Lump Hammer, Dybbuk, Möbius) and Esmé Louise Newman (Penance Stare, Petrine Cross, Fashion Tips, 1727).

Using both self-constructed and commercially available sound machines, exploring the space between free improvisation and absolute intentionality, theopoetics, illness as vector, abstracted ritual, dread drone, trance-formation, black ambience, doomed electronics, hellfire submergence, and ophanim glow.

WHEEL OF BURNING EYES is their second document, recorded deep in their vermillion chamber, during the spring of 2022. It is recommended listening for acolytes of Sunn O))), Coil, Deleuze & Guattari, Bastard Noise, Sarah Kane, William Blake, Les Legion Noires, Mark Fisher, Black Boned Angel, Laboria Cuboniks et al

GOD WILL LAUGH AT YOUR CALAMITY.

Praise for "A Wheel Of Burning Eyes" -

"You feel A Wheel Of Burning Eyes resonate and reverberate around your body, encompassing and enveloping. And you know that this is special." - Aural Aggravation

"...[T]hrobbing guitar drenched drone. It’s mesmerising and all encompassing, it drags you in until you focus fully on the sound." Fighting Boredom

"Cinematic only in its most grainy, found footage sense, A Wheel of Burning Eyes is a submersion." - Foxy Digitalis

"...this goes beyond most drone records and adds a kind of dirty, violent ambience to proceedings. ‘Usurper, Destroyer’ is the aural equivalent of being burnt at the stake, with the crackling sounds and voices of ghost beckoning you to join them in the afterlife."- The Pensive Quill

"Unlike other records in this sinister space, however, there’s a transcendental quality to A Wheel of Burning Eyes. A fierce offering, of course, and for those on a Sunn O))) binge, this should be in the queue, because these are the kind of compositions that will reach the same corners of the mind." - Sun 13

"a wall of textured, feverish rumble that shares cosmetic ground with drone doom’s major players but rarely if ever offers ‘riffs’ as they’re commonly defined [...] Some fine fresh mindwipe bleakness, listening in uninterrupted solitude advised." The Quietus
