    Mars – Blood Is The Food Of The Gods

    mayo 22, 2016

    Mars – Blood Is The Food Of The Gods
    Label: Lichterklang
    Format: CD, Limited Edition 250
    Country: Germany
    Released: 13 Jun 2014
    Style: Neofolk

    MARS, a pagan brotherhood founded in 2011 (by :Golgatha: members), present their third release after the folk-debut ‘Sons of Cain’ and the powerful vinyl-e.p. ‘Sacrifice’.
    Inspired by American pagan folk and apocalyptic philosophy the sound of MARS is dominated by purely acoustic arrangements using guitars, various percussions and two male voices.
    Their drum-driven hymns tell of the persisting powers of nature, of the ancient breath of the gods and of the Eternal Cyclic Law of life.
    This is no simple escapism into dreamy realms, it’s a multifaceted journey into the subconscious parts of the human spirit, driven by pounding rhythms and accentuated guitars.
    With ‘Blood is the Food of the Gods’ MARS has become a powerful force in the European pagan underground.

    Their songs are energetic rituals to awaken the forgotten powers.
    Like the 12” ‘Sacrifice’ before this album displays unique hand-painted artwork by Nadine O. Demmler.
    Featured are new interpretations of ‘Icarus Falling’ by :Golgatha: and ‘Man is Disorder’ by
    Aeterna.

    1. Solar Transformation
    2. Icarus Falling
    3. Blood is the Food of the Gods

    Larrnakh – Now Will You Believe?

    mayo 21, 2016

    Larrnakh – Now Will You Believe?
    Label: Steinklang Industries – SKD 27
    Format: CD, Album, Digipak
    Country: Europe
    Released: 2010
    Style: Industrial, Ambient, Experimental, Neofolk

    Great NeoFolk album featuring (ex)members of CAWATANA, STURMAST and SCIVIAS!
    “Now will you believe?” is a brilliant mix of classical guitar-based NeoFolk with electronic elements, varied and assembled with droning Ritual/Dark-Ambient tracks.
    The mix of two completely different styles in music makes this album to a outstanding new “crossover”.
    Dark and sometimes frightening soundscapes with samples, trumpets and haunting drums are compiled with beautiful harps, piano, violin and narrating vocals, rounded by fine NeoClassical elements.

    Tracklist :

    1. Have my own way
    2. If there were…
    3. Respectus
    4. Sacramental obligation
    5. Delictum
    6. Veneration
    7. Drift

    Cyclotimia – Celestis

    mayo 20, 2016

    Cyclotimia – Celestis
    Label: Shadowplay Release – SPR 114, Zhelezobeton – ZHB-XXIX, Monopoly Records – none
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue
    Country: Russia
    Released: 30 Oct 2010
    Style: Downtempo, Experimental, Ambient

    Cyclotimia’s album “Celestis: Space Ceremonial Music” is inspired by the activity of a well-known American aerospace company Space Services Inc. which among other things specializes in sending human ashes into space (via their subsidiary Celestis Inc.). Moreover, the compact discs with this music have prowled the outer space twice while being on board rockets launched from the spaceport America in New Mexico. This happened for the first time in April 2007 (“Legacy” project), and for the second time in May 2010 (“Pioneer Flight” project). Cyclotimia’s music obtained the status of the official soundtrack to both events.

    “Celestis” definitely stands out in the discography of this project, known mainly for its post-industrial and avant-garde recordings. It would be no exaggeration to say that this is their most accessible work (in a good sense) correlating with the best examples of such acclaimed masters of the “space genre” as Jean-Michel Jarre or Klaus Schulze. At the same time the music on “Celestis” is in no way secondary, it is modern and quite craftily made.

    From the opening theme “Capsula” the album’s atmosphere plunges the listener into a world of spiritual experience, calls to take an imaginary space travel; fly towards Space along with the remains held in capsulas… It’s worth mentioning that the CD comes with a 12-page booklet narrating about the activities of the company. This release differs from the first edition (2007) as it contains an additional exclusive track “Another Time Another Place” – a 15-minute “space suite” recorded by the project in 2009.
