    febrero 15, 2024

    Fostermother – The Ocean (Vinyl, LP, Color)
    Label: Ripple Music – RIPLP160
    Format: Vinyl, LP, color in color red inside electric blue
    Country: US
    Released: Feb 18, 2022
    Style: Doom Metal, Stoner Rock

    FOSTERMOTHER made an impression within the stoner doom scene with their self-titled debut album, which Everything Is Noise described as, «hitting both soft and hard in all the right places, leaving oddly-comforting destruction in its wake.» Now a three-headed hydra with the addition of drummer Jason Motamedi alongside guitarist/singer Travis Weatherred and bassist Stephen Griffin, the band signed to Californian heavy rock powerhouse Ripple Music for the release of follow-up LP «The Ocean». This massive7-tracker cranks it up on all levels: it’s darker, harsher, slower, fuzzier, more rumbling, and uncompromising in its ability to drag listeners into the darkest alleys of the human soul.

    Bethlehem – Mein Weg

    febrero 15, 2024

    Bethlehem – Mein Weg (2 x Vinyl)
    Label: Prophecy Productions – PRO 107LP
    Format: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue
    Country: Germany
    Released: Jul 8, 2022
    Style: Doom Metal, Goth Rock

    Experimental Black/Doom Metal band from Grevenbroich, Germany, active since 1991. They call their style «Dark metal», which is the term they coined in the debut album title.

    Until Dictius Te Necare, Bethlehem faced censorship and was even banned from playing in some German cities. It started when Matton gave one copy of their first demo to a 14-year-old boy. After a while his mother started to call the band, saying that because of their music, her son became aggressive and built a «Satanic altar» in his room. In cooperation with other parents, they started a crusade against Bethlehem and their «satanic» music (ironically, Bethlehem were never satanic).

    Nordvargr – Pyrrhula (Vinyl, LP)
    Label: Cold Spring – CSR98LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Remastered
    Country: UK
    Released: May 21, 2021
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Doom Metal

    Recorded winter/spring 2008 at Villa Bohult, Sweden.

    This edition has been restored from the original masters, and further refined for the vinyl format.

    Based on Swedish doomlord mythology.

    Partly based on an old Swedish folktale, Pyrrhula (“doomlord”) is a pitch black journey into utter darkness. This is a tale of foreboding doom… a portent of dark times to come… a blight on the face of this earth. These eight Black Ambient / Doom / Droneworks were brought forth from the abyss of Villa Bohult exclusively for Cold Spring and contain the malevolent vocals of Lord Nordvargr himself!.

    “Beware the small creatures of light, they only bring misery and death upon the enlightened ones. For they will paint their breast with blood and reap your unborn angels.”

    Ltd x 500 copies on pale amber vinyl.
    Black Fruit Of The Loom Heavy Cotton t-shirt with front and back print.

    Composed By – Henrik Nordvargr Björkk
    Recorded winter/spring 2008 at Villa Bohult, Sweden.
    Artwork – Abby Helasdottir
    Mastered By – Martin Bowes

    Reviews:

    «What is most remarkable about ‘Pyhrrhula’ is given how unrelenting it is, it is an easy album to listen to. There are some pretty great melodies hidden in there… If ‘Pyrrhula’ was colour it would be vantablack, or more correctly the spectrum of darkness, and black, ending in vantablack. It’s an album that feels like it sucks the air out of the room. It makes you sit still and take notice, but most importantly, it still sounds as epic and devastating as it did 13 years ago.» (Vital Weekly)

    E-L-R – Vexier

    julio 31, 2022

    E-L-R – Vexier (Vinyl, LP)
    Label: Prophecy Productions – PRO338LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo
    Country: Germany
    Released: Mar 11, 2022
    Style: Doom Metal, Post-Metal

    «LP (180g) with special vinyl mastering, insert, padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve.»

    E-L-R’s sophomore full-length «Vexier» oscillates elegantly between velvet darkness and flaring bursts of high energy. The style of the Swiss has been dubbed ‘doomgaze’ and ‘post-metal’ and both terms apply loosely to the trio’s meandering, down-tempo doom-epics. E-L-R’s hypnotic phrases that are constantly varied and warped in repeating loops are reminiscent of shamanic rituals imbued with psychedelic colours. The trio weaves a subtle tapestry with diligence and persistence that depicts a labyrinth full of intricate details and hidden treasures.

    «Vexier» does not give up its secrets easily and there are many shifts and twists hiding in its sonic shadows as implied by the title that derives from the Latin word «vexare» meaning «to plague, to irritate» and in German a ‘Vexierbild’ means a flip-flop image while in some dialects a ‘Vexier’ is a puzzle game.

    E-L-R were conceived by bass-player I.R. and guitarist S.M., who both also took on vocal duties in the German Swiss city of Bern in 2016. They were soon joined by another friend, drummer M.K., whose emotive and intricate style proved to be the perfect fit. The release of their debut album «Mænad» (2019) was greeted with widespread acclaim by critics and fans alike.

    With «Vexier», E-L-R take another decisive step forward and invite the listener on an adventurous journey through their fascinating and multi-dimensional musical cosmos.

    Lotus Thief – Oresteia

    febrero 29, 2020

    Lotus Thief – Oresteia (Vinyl Gatefold LP | Red)
    Label: Prophecy Productions ‎– PRO273LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Red
    Country: Germany
    Released: 2020
    Genre: Rock
    Style: Avantgarde, Black Metal, Doom Metal, Post Rock

    San Francisco avant-gardists Lotus Thief create visionary music that incorporates elements of doom and black metal as well as post rock. Transcendent in sound and substance, the band has released two acclaimed albums («Rervm» in 2014, and their Prophecy debut «Gramarye» in 2016), that draw insight from ancient texts for present-day life. History is preserved and ignited, a sonic re-imagining for a world where the human race learns from its past.

    With their third record «Oresteia,» Lotus Thief pushes their sound further than ever, focussing on both male and female singing, feral screams, melodic versus ferocious guitarwork and soaring violins. The result balances the atmospheric with the devastating.

    In retelling the namesake epic trilogy from ancient Greece by tragedian Aeschylus, mastermind Bezaelith once again addresses distinctly modern topics, as the blood-drenched story of the mythical House of Atreus prompts several questions, ranging from the ethics of killing to gender roles.

    «Oresteia» is an intentional narrative and boasts Lotus Thief’s most sophisticated production so far. A five-headed hydra of distinct personalities and stylistic backgrounds contributes to the record’s depth and diversity like the masked actors in an ancient stage play. It is no wonder that with its strong dynamics and ambient intersections, the tracks mirror an experience not unlike attending a performance in an amphitheater.

    Add to this maybe the heaviest moments ever in Lotus Thief’s oeuvre, their new full-length embodies the ingenuity and intensity of contemporary extreme music.

    Edition:

    • Gatefold LP (180g vinyl, red) incl. padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve (200 copies available)

    Tracklist:

    1. Agamemnon
    2. Banishment
    3. Libation Bearers
    4. Woe
    5. The Furies
    6. Reverence
    7. Sister in Silence
    8. The Kindly Ones

    Church Of Howling Dog ‎– Umbra

    Label: Evil Dead Productions ‎– EDP017
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Russia
    Released: 15 Mar 2016
    Style: Psychedelic Rock, Stoner Rock

    “Umbra” is slow hypnotic instrumental psychedelic rock. Reverberated guitar chords, slides and coarse fuzz, a dispassionate drum machine and psychedelic string percussion, delicate organ pads, the hum of guitar amplifiers and the wheeze of cello – these are the elements creating this tapestry. Pleasantly enough, the author knows how to treat silence as it plays a significant role in his compositions – each note takes its time to fade away, mesmerizing the listener with its vibrations.

    Some familiar musical landmarks to be mentioned here are Earth albums “Hibernaculum” and “The Bee Made Honey in the Lion’s Skull” (although Earth is more monotonous and straightforward), and the famous OST for the Jim Jarmush movie “Dead Man” by Neil Young.
