    Cisfinitum – O Vs 0

    diciembre 8, 2015

    Cisfinitum – O Vs 0
    Label: Old Captain – OCCD07
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Ukraine
    Released: 01 Jul 2014
    Style: Experimental, Lo-Fi, Drone, Industrial

    There is a strange story about this release. In 1998 we produced 100-150 copies on CD-Rs and sent them to some European labels (as Betley Welcomes Careful Drivers, Drone rec. etc.). But the sucess of next Cisfinitum album «Landschaft» obscured the first record, which sounds much more peculiar and esoteric. In the middle of 2000s it was released as mp3, just for archive. But in February, 2014 Old Captain proposed me to re-release it on CD. Surely, I agreed, but asked to print it with original artwork. In 1998 we placed the photo of famous Zhytomir serial killer Anatoly Onoprienko on the cover. How strange it was, when I sent this artwork to Oleg from Old Captain, and then he said that the windows of his label’s office looked out on the prison where this killer spent 15 years! Even more — this album was recorded, when the killer was going to the jail and re-released half-year after he died. He killed 52 people, including little kids, in his interviews he said about his spiritual experience, which was higher than Dalai Lama’s, he did his killings in a special way, ritualistic — to set the cross on division map of Ukraine. His killings consisted of 3 planned series in mathematical sequence: the first, according to his idea, was dedicated to his struggle with communist ideology in Ukraine, the second was his symbolic struggle with Ukrainian nationalism and third — serial killings as a protest against AIDS. Oleg proposed me to release this CD approximately a week before the Maidan started in Kiev. And all these coincidences and concordances mean much more than I could imagine when I placed his photo from a book about serial killers in 1998 on the cover. We even drew a cross under the photo, but I’ve discovered all his conceptions just nowadays, in 2014, while researched more about what is on the Cisfinitum first album cover. In 1998 we did it very spontaneously. This is magic in practice.

    Tunnels Of Āh – Akeldama (Excerpt)

    “Firstly, the punishment is meted out day and night, kalpa after kalpa, without a moment’s interruption or relief. Thus Avici”.

    ‘Thus Avici’ is the second album from Tunnels Of Ah (Stephen Ah Burroughs / Head Of David ). The title references ‘the sutra of bodhisattva Ksitigarbha’s fundamental vows’, a section of which Burroughs reads daily in homage to Ksitigarbha whom Burroughs pledged ‘entreaty and supplication’ under solemn tantric oath 20 years ago. Tantric buddhism, christian mysticism and personal magick make up the subject matter for ‘Thus Avici’.

    Where traces of 2013’s ‘Lost Corridors’ album can be heard, ‘Thus Avici’ is a harder, more focused offering. Shards of distorted noise, ritual drums, caustic drones and haunted vocals make ‘Thus Avici’ a dark hallucinatory swoon into the hinterland of the Tunnels Of Ah. The dull blue light of brute-world calls.

    Tracks: 1. At The Error Of The Stars (10:44), 2. Akeldama (8:35), 3. Locusts Have Broken (7:49), 4. Saint Peter Ha-Satana (7:30), 5. The Perpetual Holocaust (7:34), 6. We Are His Burning Ones (7:05)

    Anatomia De Vanitats is Mercé Spica from ELDARs solo project, this is an intricate album bubbling with details, a steamy dark ambient epic.

    “The world is necessarily as it is because there are beings who wonder why so”

    Composed and produced by Mercé Spica at Oxid Studios Barcelona 2013
