    Herederos De La Bestia’ is documentary film about Álex de la Iglesia’s classic 1995 apocalypse-horror story ‘El Dia De La Bestia’ (The Day Of The Beast). More than two decades after its premiere, the movie continues to be THE great go-to example if you want to mix the most brutal fantastic with the Spanish tradition of the grotesque. Comprised of equal parts high-concept horror and scathing social satire (in the mode of the director’s peer and former collaborator Pedro Almodovar), this ambitious horror film has garnered a sizable cult following. It’s just impossible to imagine present-day Spanish cinema without it.

    ‘Herederos De La Bestia’ interviews the crew responsible for Álex de la Iglesia’s masterpiece and assesses its still relevant influence. Part of the official 2016 Sitges festival selection, this superb documentary is currently still being screened at festivals around the world.

    It’s no surprise that the makers turned to the Spanish outfit ‘Buio Mondo’ to underscore their hard work. Buio Mondo is a project that pays tribute to the giallo and the slasher genres and is best known for their previous (and very successful) album ‘Italia Violenta’. Mixing wild metal riffs, powerfull electronics and dark brooding ‘Carpenter-esque’ synth atmospheres results in a nightmarish soundscape that will haunt you in your dreams.

    Presented here is the COMPLETE & EXTENDED score to ‘Herederos De La Bestia’.

    Available as a 10” vinyl edition limited to 333 units on classic black vinyl.

    Vàli – Skogslandskap (Vinyl, LP)

    Vàli – Skogslandskap (Vinyl, LP)
    Label: Auerbach Tonträger ‎– AB 059 LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Repress, Dark Green
    Country: Germany
    Released: 23 Sep 2022
    Style: Acoustic, Neofolk

    Vàli is one of the best-kept secrets among lovers of nature-related acoustic music. The Norwegian one-man project’s debut album, «Forlatt,» was already released back in 2004 in a limited edition that was quickly sold out. Word got out rapidly among connoisseurs of the genre that this was an album that was a match for genre classics such as «Kveldssanger» by Ulver or «Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays» by Empyrium. It took six years until their next sign of life: two songs on the 2010 compilation «Whom The Moon A Nightsong Sings.» Now, finally, their eagerly anticipated sophomore «Skogslandskap» (english: «Wooded Landscape») is ready for release. In the world of Vàli, time seems to go by much slower than in ours.

    This impression is confirmed when listening to «Skogslandskap» which seamlessly picks up where «Forlatt» left off, enchanting you with its timeless simplicity and elegance. Fragile compositions for acoustic guitars are still very much at the centre of Vàli’s music. These are augmented by yearning string arrangements, pastoral flute melodies, and accentuated piano sounds. Each of these tone colours is used in a pointed and appropriate manner to take the album’s basic idea into account: «Skogslandskap» is conceived as a journey through a Norwegian wood in the autumn, beginning at dusk and ending at dawn, a journey revealing the peace and beauty of virgin nature.

    Darkher – Realms

    Darkher – Realms (Vinyl, LP)
    Label: Prophecy Productions – PRO187LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: UK & Europe
    Released: Aug 19, 2016
    Style: Goth Rock, Ethereal

    The long-awaited debut album

    DARKHER is an intriguing, haunting trip through the mind and spirit of UK artist J. Maiven a West Yorkshire-based vocalist / songwriter whose powerful, captivating music is characterised by doom-laden riffs, haunting, spine-tingling vocals, soul baring songs, layered with storm clouds of Guitars. Creating extraordinarily dark music full of contrasts, including both chilling loneliness and the warmth of hope, the sound of DARKHER is veined by both an unsettling atmosphere of encroaching dread and a deep, otherworldly confidence.
    DARKHER’s first release, ‘The Kingdom Field’ EP (2014), epitomized her broodingly intense music and created a stir across scenes, being hailed as «beautiful, teeth-edging horror» and «utterly brilliant». Her debut album, ‘Realms’, impressively proves that the fire of great expectations raised by the debut’s spark were more than justified. The album features nine distinctive, dynamic and dramatic tracks that are impossible to resist. Songs such as the sternly imploring «Moths», the driving «Wars», with its signature drum march, or the sinister, unfathomable ‘Buried’ or ‘Foregone’ may be mentioned as cornerstones of an album that, due to its quality and diversity, bears the potential earmarks of a future classic.
    Lyrically, ‘Realms’ mirrors the ominous, awe-inspiring character of the music; the tales on the album lie somewhere between this sphere and the unseen worlds before and beyond. DARKHER’s songs reveal her relationship with fear, death and spirituality and question how love can connect souls from past, present and future.
    «At times, I witnessed happenings,» She points out with respect to the title. «Amidst the immense sadness brought upon by grief, these signs were both uplifting and magical, and this compounded my belief in other ‘Realms'»
