about

TUNNELS OF ĀH is Stephen Āh Burroughs, who was the founding member and vocalist of HEAD OF DAVID; a band who also featured Justin Broadrick and Dave Cochrane, emerging on the seminal UK label Blast First records in the mid-1980s, creating a sound that paved the way for industrial-metal and noise-rock. TUNNELS OF ĀH is Burroughs' ritual dark ambient industrial project, which debuted with the album 'Lost Corridors' in 2013.

"The Smeared Cloth: 2012 - 2018 Unearthed" is a compilation of tracks from the period before the release of "Lost Corridors" and unreleased recordings from around the time "Surgical Fires" and "Charnel Transmissions" were published. Although compiled from various sessions, the overall sound is exceptionally sonically coherent.

The compilation should satisfy both fans of TUNNELS OF ĀH and lovers of dark ambient with a post-industrial sound and ritual aura.

This is TUNNELS OF ĀH at it's probing best.

INTERVIEW:
compulsiononline.com/interview_tunnelsofah.htm

"These tunnels that Burroughs has constructed bore deep into sinister, uncomfortable territory, pathways to a twisted, savage part of our collective psyches that we rarely choose to acknowledge."
- Mat Smith, Documentary Evidence

“Stitched together from unreleased work from four albums The Smeared Cloth (2012 - 2018 Unearthed) makes a wonderful introduction to the unique vision of Tunnels of ĀH.”
- Compulsion magazine

"listen carefully and you will hear magic beneath the grinding steel and the roaring forge and the whirring machinery. An organic, breathing beauty contained within a rusted, oil-stained armoured carapace." (8/10)
- Dark Juan, Ever Metal
