    I dream of dead poets and supermodels, fancy software and scenic drives, Paris or Los Angeles on a late night flight, maybe a PowerBook in a Louis Vuitton bag with a picture of you on the seventeen inches wide screen, I dream of glossy drones and dark eyeliners, long legs and bright sounds, fake breasts and uptight asses, I feel like the speed of your heart when you’re so full of grace, I feel like the light in your smile, the slip of the tongue, I float an inch from the sky to the point of you, I’m out of my eyes with a ballad, washing with kindly tears, I cherish the acoustics of your invisible caress, I undress you in poetry, I read your body, soul of doll, I taste your body of sound with the acoustic memory of love, your flesh in stereo, drunken with loud cells on the rocks, resonance of an old soul with metasynth delay, oh you’re so cute when you loop my heart, you are a beautiful loop in my heart, a phantom voice in high heels, you you so you, baby blue eyes drinking champagne underwater, kissing my heart shaped ears, you look beautiful when you dream, you are all the night gave me in return, you whisper in sweetness the distant melody of the stars, suggesting but truth to my divining, I’m just this superficial guy though, plain and superficial, like your skin when you striptease me, when you fuck me like a virgin, I’m a dirty romantic, too sexy for myself, more a loner than a wolf, more a bleeder than a bruiser, night cruiser with a faded touch of love, chasing in dreams the heart of it all, in dreams, in dreams, like when we walk together, hand in hand, like two strangers, and then your pony tail, pink pony, the ten thousand ponies of your pyjama running every night after me, and then the sound, the almighty sound, the greatest sound of all, the sound of you

    PYLAR – La Gran Obra

    marzo 20, 2016

    PYLAR – La Gran Obra
    Label: Knockturne Records
    Format: Cassette, Album Limited to 113 copies
    Country: Spain
    Released: 2016
    Style: Experimental, Avantgarde, Doom Metal

    After the successful second album, PYLAR collective returns with a new release: La Gran Obra. This cassette is limited to 113 copies (a number that touches upon the threshold of madness) and is inspired by Alchemy
    .
    In the same way as the alchemical process, La Gran Obra is divided into three parts: Nigredo, Albedo and Rubedo. Throughout this piece, the enigmatic heresiarchs manage to manipulate the lost language of colour and the complex esoteric symbolism of ancient science, dropping clues to the follower and allowing them to walk down the path of the ineffable.
    The second side, Speculum (ArboNargAl), is a perfect mirror image of the first. In a sense, an infinite loop has been created between the two sides with the purpose of bending time and entering a level of existence where our subconscious memories live.

    PYLAR has once more presented us with a veil which we can choose to lift in search of the key to uncover the last of their holy mission.

    Tras el éxito de su segundo disco, el colectivo PYLAR vuelve con un nuevo lanzamiento: La Gran Obra. Este artefacto en formato cassette y limitado a 113 copias (número que abre un umbral hacia la demencia) está inspirado en la Alquimia y compuesto de dos temas, La Gran Obra y Speculum.
    Al igual que el proceso alquímico, La Gran Obra está dividida en 3 partes: Nigredo, Albedo y Rubedo, en las que los heresiarcas del enigmático colectivo manejan el lenguaje olvidado de los colores y el complejo simbolismo esotérico de la más antigua de las ciencias, dejando pistas a lo largo del proceso para que el adepto transite la vía que le llevará ante lo inenarrable.

    El segundo tema, Speculum (ArboNargAl), es un reflejo perfecto, especular e invertido, del primero. De esta forma se crea un bucle infinito entre dos caras con el objetivo de curvar el tiempo y acceder al plano de la existencia donde se encuentra la memoria inconsciente, aquella que nos revelará los misterios más profundos de nuestro ser.
    PYLAR vuelven a situarnos ante un velo que debemos decidir si alzar o no en busca de las claves para desvelar el fin último de su sagrada misión.

    Àrnica – Viejo Mundo

    marzo 14, 2016

    Àrnica – Viejo Mundo
    Label: Percht
    Catalog#:Percht11
    Format:CD, Digipak
    Style:Acoustic, Neofolk, Alpine Folk

    The artist’s interests are deep rooted in the ancient Iberian culture and traditions.
    Their music is a mix of traditional Pyrenne Folk and heathen Battle and Hunting-songs. Their first fullength-album „Viejo Mundo“ is a tale narrated by an old man as his last legacy to a casual traveler.
    In a hut and near by fire the traveler will be the depositor of ancient knowledge about forgotten gods, wisdom of life, tradition and statements of war.
    All lyrics and singing is in spanish or catalan language.
    A wide range of instruments is used, on top of them accordion, guitars, drums and flutes. ÀRNICA creates wild and rural atmospheres, quite similar to their friends from STURMPERCHT, but just from the opposite part of the holy Alps.
