Format: CD, Album
Country: US
Released: 22 Dec 2015
Style: Dark Ambient, Experimental
Active since 2009, Shibalba bring their first full ritual expression to the halls of Malignant. Samsara summons five chthonic explorations using all the hallmark instrumentation of the genre to great effect; liturgical chants and spectral vocal incantations, minor keyboard orchestrations, resonant chimes and prayer bowls, ceremonial percussion, and atmospheric drift ensconced in sepulchral reverb. It’s a tapestry of richly detailed and layered sounds that emanate from candlelit chambers and underground passages, and an intoxicating and majestic homage to the darkest of arts. Previous work must be noted and recognized, but it is with Samsara that Shibalba’s vision is fully realized. And while the shadow of Endvra, Funerary Call, and Halo Manash loom in the background, Shibalba have forged a new path and solidified themselves among the leaders of the new realm. We have entered the Halls of Inner Sadhana to re-unite Pilgrimage and Austerity, to gaze once more behind the Eyes of Samadhi, and to reach new starfields of alienation.

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.
