The Ascension: The Sequel

by Glenn Branca

The Ascension: The Sequel cover art

Revisiting the monumental concepts of his landmark 1981 debut almost thirty years later, the legendary avant-garde composer resurrected his signature massive guitar-army sound. The record eschews the orchestral symphonies of his later career to deliver a punishing, dissonant barrage of interlocking, microtonal noise-rock that vibrates with relentless, apocalyptic energy.
