Adam on the track, "Black Masses is a parable. A time-worn story of how the power-hungry use violence and religious fervor to achieve what they feel is their divine right to lead. The accompanying film stars Sean Shannon as a desperate priest losing his grip on reality. The film was shot on 16mm by Douglas K. Horton, Directed by Patrick Cecilian, and edited by Bill Kemmler. ” Adam Lytle - "Black Masses" Altars - Bio: Across eleven tracks Lytle and his band harness a ferocious sound crafted from the wreckage of the modern American landscape.The delicate fingerpicking that opens the record gives way to an electric swagger that sounds looser and darker than anything we’ve heard from Lytle before. Here, myth bleeds into reality and vice versa. It is a world of beauty and horror, of moments that burn with meaning and moments that slip through your fingers like smoke. Altars was written by Adam Lytle and produced with Liars and Parquet Courts collaborator Jonathan Schenke.  Lytle wrote the album while living in Paris and Arles, France in the winter of 2024. The record features guitarist Cameron Kapoor, drummer William Logan, bassist Kevin Copeland, percussionist Mauro Refosco, vocalist Kristina Moore, and multi-instrumentalist Oli Deakin. With sessions at Figure 8 Recording and Studio Windows in Brooklyn, Lytle and Schenke showcased their unique alchemy, combining live performances with a process of experimentation that heightens the emotional impact of Lytle’s soul-stirring narratives. “This collection of songs is united by their unwavering examination of Devotion. It’s a raw and unrelenting record but there is a strange, fragile beauty throughout. At its core, It’s the sound of a fiercely talented group of musicians who understands that every broken line, every fractured moment, holds within it the possibility of transcendence.“ ‘Altars’ will be released on streaming, with CD and standard vinyl available for pre-order now.

With his electrifying band, he transforms from a quiet, introspective artist to a powerhouse performer; seductive and menacing all at once. After years of honing his craft, Lytle emerged at the turn of the decade as a distinctive voice in the tower of song. With its striking lyricism and evocative arrangements, his solo debut This Is The Fire drew comparisons to the work of Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, and Scott Walker. Audiences around the world took note as Lytle embarked on tours across Europe and the United States.  Arriving a little over a year after its predecessor, the new album Altars is the fruit of his long running collaboration with producer Jonathan Schenke. While Lytle’s guitar and voice still take center stage, gone is the monumental orchestra which lifted his debut. In its place, there is something more earthbound, more opaque; a cacophony of screeching metal, blown-out amps and apocalyptic rhythm. A ferocious sound crafted from the wreckage of the modern American landscape. Altars is a record that arrives at a moment of great turmoil. The air is thick with the promise of something dark and destructive. Where many artists have stood at the edge of this darkness and turned back, Lytle leads us deeper into the void. He sings for the ones who feel too much, the ones whose hearts beat in rhythm with the sorrow of the world, the ones who have loved, lost, but are still standing. Like the great poets of the underworld, his songs echo in the silence long after they’ve ended. ADAM LYTLE LINKS Website | Instagram | Youtube | Facebook | Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple | Soundcloud
