Album Notes

ANUBIS SPIRE is a guitar-heavy post progressive-rock/world fusion band with a decidedly Middle-Eastern flavor. Formed new years day 1998 after a chance jam session the night before, the group is made up of musical veterans who wanted to write and play music in the mid-seventies style of such bands as Led Zeppelin, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc.. From the beginning, they set about melding their various influences, adding a heavy dose of world and ethnic sounds and a few new twists to the mix.

The debut CD-"OLD LIONS(in the world of snarling sheep)" was recorded in a barn, on an antiquated 8 track almost entirely LIVE! What does ANUBIS SPIRE sound like? One reviewer summed them up as: "Progressive rock from Mars, filtered through Atlantis, India and ancient Egypt and sounding kinda like a fistfight between Jimi Hendrix and John McLaughlin at the base of the great pyramid!

"OLD LIONS(in the world of snarling sheep)" is a mostly instrumental album (4 vocal tunes, with lyrics that range from the heartlessness of small towns to a song about flying saucers!) that packs over 60 minutes of intense guitar-heavy progressive rock/world fusion improvisation into it's 15 cuts.

Often dark and hypnotic, ANUBIS SPIRE states: We're not for everyone...but, if you're one of us, you'll KNOW.

Anubis Spire is music without typical boundaries.
author: Mike Ward / Temporary Power
After giving Anubis Spire a listen I was awakened to the musical possibilities which can arise when someone shakes off traditional thinking and embraces abstract concepts. This is music conveyed with a sense of artistic excellence. If you also embrace the much needed change for something new and different in our music communities and realize the deep need for new and interesting musical works of art, Anubis Spire is for you! Go for it!
