    ARKTAU AON ‎– IKUISUUS NÄKYY LUIDEN LÄPI

    Arktau Aon ‎– Ikuisuus Näkyy Luiden Läpi
    Label: Aural Hypnox ‎– [AHUE01]
    Series: Underworld Editions – [AHUE01]
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Finland
    Released: 10 Sep 2013
    Style: Dark Ambient, Tribal

    Thought lost and subsequently forgotten, a complete album by AIH & AIL of ARKTAU EOS and JKV of ZOÄT-AON was recently rediscovered. This unknown chapter in the evolution of the classic Finnish ritual sound originates from sessions held in May 2005, when Arktau Eos was still unnamed, beginning work on their seminal opus ‘Mirrorion’ and Zoät-Aon had just released the equally influential ‘Star Autopsy’ CD.

    The album retains the original title of the sessions: ‘Ikuisuus näkyy luiden läpi’, Finnish for ‘Eternity Shines Through the Bones’, and for purposes of this release the group is named simply ARKTAU AON. ‘Ikuisuus näkyy luiden läpi’ is enthusiastic, youthfully vigorous and decidedly ominous ritual music with a total running time of 31:53. Instead of songs, it is divided into different ‘movements’ or phases: it resembles a field recording of some obscure ceremony from a far-off corner of the world. Boasting a raw but good, clear sound, ‘INLL’ remains unaltered save for the mastering done in 2013 at Katajan Kaiku studio.

    Lunar Abyss Deus Organum ‎– Khara-Khoto

    Lunar Abyss Deus Organum ‎– Khara-Khoto
    Label: Zhelezobeton ‎– ZHB-LXXV
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered 
    Country: Russia
    Released: 22 Feb 2019
    Style: Ambient, Drone, Experimental, Tribal

    We gladly present the new Lunar Abyss Deus Organum full-length album «Khara-Khoto»! In fact, this is the first big studio work of the project after «Atimudra» (2012, BioSonar^Labyrint) and a long series of split-releases, collaborations, live recordings and various small editions.

    Khara-Khoto was the name of a Tangut city with Buddhist culture which existed in the XI-XIV centuries before it was captured by the troops of the Chinese Ming dynasty (nowadays it’s geographically located in the Chinese Inner Mongolia). The idea of creating this album appeared after visiting a special exhibition at the Hermitage, which presented a lot of original artifacts from this ancient settlement buried in the sands. Special inspiration came from a deep understanding of the ephemeral and impermanent nature of existence – even prosperous cultures can die in one moment because of the blind greed of invaders.

    From the musical point of view, here one can hear the full sound palette typical for Lunar Abyss. This includes multilayered ambiental sketches with flowing chains of samples, voice loops and acoustic instruments; rhythmic percussive tracks with vigorous pulsating energy; abstract collages made of analogue electronics, radio noises and fragments of television programs; semi-static enveloping drones spiced up with field recordings. The psychedelic kaleidoscope of aural images continues its work – the fans of the albums «Snovidenie», «Tuntury» and «Atimudra» won’t be disappointed!

    The physical edition of the album is made in two versions: a CD limited to 300 copies in a matte 4-panel foldout digisleeve.

    Pylar – Orygenes



    Pylar – ORÝGENES
    Label: Gradual Hate Records – GH 140CD
    Format: CD, Digipack
    Country: Spain
    Released: 19 Nov 2018
    Style: Drone Experimental, Psychedelic, Doom, Dark Ambient…

    These are the “Demos” that started the legend. 2012-2013.

    The material belonging to ORÝGENES was invoked throughout the twelfth and third year of the third millennium of the common era of the unknown territories of the atlantes in the megalithic temple of the three pillars engraved by Bar-Gal and transmuted, edited and mastered in the studies of Knockturne by the Lamb Noctivago 7 days before the equinox of the spring of the year 2018

    Pylar is a Spanish avantgarde metal band was formed in 2012 with members of Blooming Làtigo and former components of Orthodox. The project is inspired by prehistoric religions and the occult, hiding their faces behind masks and ceremonial clothing.

    Their debut album Poderoso Se Alza En My, released in 2013, was highly acclaimed by international media. Julian Cope said “a must, superb”, and was selected as one of 2013 top albums in several websites. Seven tracks opening a gate to another world with sacred chants, massive guitar riffs plus insane percussions and winds, conforming a picture not easy to describe.

    May 2015 sees the release of He Venydo A Reclamar My Trono, their second album including one track devoted to curve linear time through the telling of The Triple Goddess story and the use of music as a powerful sound symbol along with the presence of forgotten techniques.

    In March 2016, Pylar released La Gran Obra on tape format, including two tracks inspired by Alchemy as an instrument to transmute metal music into a sound experiment with no equal to date, facing arcane elements such as the long forgotten language of the colours and its dark esoteric simbology.

    PYLAR members:

    Gamaheo: drums, rocks, tellurism, granite.
    Trarames: baetylus, tubes, pylars and columns, tectonic lava.
    Lingua Alaudae: violin, cracks, mandolin, stones of lightning.
    LenguaDeCarpa: voices, uncharted alphabets, petrified languages, litophanies.
    Bar-Gal: guitars, metals, Gods axes.

    Estas son las demos que empezaron la Leyenda. Porque el mundo se viste por su épica y la épica muere cuando la música para.

    La verdad fue revelada a PYLAR en 6 misterios, 6 voces, 6 caminos.

    El Origen es el Cielo y es la Tierra y es Causa y es Destino. El Origen es andrógino y su simiente alberga el fin mientras primordiales profetas intentan recordar sobre viejos templos de arenisca que son disueltos por marismas salobres allá donde Tartessos era bañada por el Oleum Flumen.

    Pero la causa es una y es ninguna y se niega a sí misma y por tanto existe. La diosa pájaro entona una vieja melodía aceitosa que avanza por el cuerpo de su flauta de hueso hasta eclosionar en pompas de jabón triangulares, áureas e imposibles.

    Cuando implosiona, miles de otras pompas triangulares diversifican el universo y en el espacio cosmogónico donde brota el don de lenguas se manifiestan PYLAR como la cuadratura del círculo que a su vez contiene las cuatro esquinas del mundo, allí donde habitan la media Luna, el Cuerno, el Gusano, el Huevo y el Pez.

    Forjando el metal en Fraguas de Mercurio, PYLAR construyen su Atanor donde disuelven al impávido oyente en materia candente y soma alquímico. Un rito arcaico de poder tan primitivo que se abstiene de pedir permiso en cuanto a forma y estructura.

    Estas son las demos que empezaron la Leyenda. Porque el mundo se viste por su épica y la épica muere cuando la música para. Así pues… que no pare la música, que no pare la épica y que los hombres de mimbre ardan para celebrar la nueva cosecha.

    Origen. Oriri. Oriente. Oros.

    Yo, el Círculo. Yo, el Numinoso. Yo, el Atlante.

    Toda esta música forma parte de las primeras grabaciones que se realizaron bajo el nombre de Pylar y que fueron publicadas durante un tiempo en el Bandcamp de la banda a lo largo del año 2012-2013 y luego fueron retiradas ante la edición de su primer disco. Todas las piezas pertenecen a las demos que fueron los orígenes de PODERO SE ALZA EN MY, varias de ellas son totalmente inéditas y han sido editadas a partir de la unión de varias piezas anteriores.

    En estas músicas puede vislumbrarse el nacimiento de un símbolo cósmico perspectivas nunca antes contempladas, en ella se oyen los susurros de atmósferas abisales y abismos tentaculares que no pudimos repetir más tarde, por ello levantamos el velo que las cubría para que los neófitos puedan contemplar lo innominable.

    El material perteneciente ORÝGENES fue invocado a lo largo del décimo segundo y tercer año del tercer milenio de la era común de los ignotos territorios de los atlantes en el templo megalítico de los tres pilares grabado por Bar-Gal y transmutado, editado y masterizado en los estudios de Knockturne por el Cordero Noctivago 7 días antes del equinoccio de la primavera del año 2018. Antonio Martin
