    Zothique (Clark Ashton Smith)
    «He who has trod the shadows of Zothique
    And looked upon the coal-red sun oblique,
    Henceforth returns to no anterior land,
    But haunts a later coast
    Where cities crumble in the black sea-sand
    And dead gods drink the brine.

    He who has known the gardens of Zothique
    Were bleed the fruits torn by the simorgh’s beak,
    Savors no fruit of greener hemispheres:
    In arbors uttermost,
    In sunset cycles of the sombering years,
    He sips an amaranth wine.

    He who has loved the wild girls of Zothique
    Shall not come back a gentler love to seek,
    Nor know the vampire’s from the lover’s kiss:
    For him the scarlet ghost
    Of Lilith from time’s last necropolis
    Rears amorous and malign.

    He who has sailed in galleys of Zothique
    And seen the looming of strange spire and peak,
    Must face again the sorcerer-sent typhoon,
    And take the steerer’s post
    On far-poured oceans by the shifted moon
    Or the re-shapen Sign».

    HIEMIS is a Spanish musical project belonging to the dark ambient genre that began its journey in 2018 after a period of reflection on an earlier stage with the darkfolk project Silent Love of Death. («The Poet´s Senses» 2004-Palace of Worms, «Donde Habite el Olvido» 2011-GH Records)

    In the little HIEMIS life I have published my music with the North American label Noctivagant with Phillip Abraham as well as with the Spanish label GH Records with the responsible Avencio Delgado.

    Nachtstücke (GH Records, 2018), Hyperborea (Noctivagant Records, 2019), Thule (GH Records, 2019) and Radix (Noctivagant Records, 2020). The latest album La Chose, about to be released under the GH Records label in spring
    2021 in a very special edition as it will be accompanied by
    an esoteric ritual book translated into two languages,
    Spanish and English.

    Although its sound has evolved to more ritual sounds, it maintains immersive textures together with drones in dark and disturbing environments.The main evolution that HIEMIS has had at this time has been at a con

    Der Blaue Reiter ‎– United, Yet Divided

    febrero 25, 2024

    Der Blaue Reiter ‎– United, Yet Divided
    Label: Dark Vinyl Records ‎– DV85L
    Format:Vinyl Album, Limited
    Country: Germany
    Released: 07 Jun 2019
    Style: Industrial, Neofolk, Neo-Classical, Military

    «United Yet Divided» is the 6th album of DER BLAUE REITER, a Catalan music project that was founded in January 2005. DER BLAUE REITER is Sathorys Elenorth & Cecilia Bjärgö (Arcana / Sophia) , a project which explores the deepest corners and ruins of human existence, where the martial sounds are mixed with orchestrations and classical interludes and devastating environments filled with emotion and sadness.

    Between 1945 and 1990, Europe and the rest of the world lived in a cold war. These times were hard for many, easier for others, but it was a time of people becoming divided. For this album, DER BLAUE REITER will move through the world during these years. In reminiscence of the split of Berlin, the air bridge that saved people from starving, of the Budapest revolution, the story of the Berlin wall, the spring in Prague, the crises in Cuba, the dictators of Romania and Spain. Once Europe were split, then they became united….but still more divided than ever.

    With the release of „United Yet Divided», you will follow the journey of Sathory Elenorth’s magical music and Cecilia Bjärgö’s lyrics , which will lead you into the history, distant but not forgotten. With the support of Maria Montes and Lady Nott (Narsilion / Ordo Funebris), the music elevates into what DER BLAUE REITER is most known for: the music of neoclassical martial Darkfolk. So let us be United, united in the music and in the world we share!

    Apoptose – Zukunft

    febrero 24, 2024

    Apoptose – Die Zukunft
    Label: Tesco Organisation ‎– TESCO 128, Tesco Organisation ‎– 128
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Germany
    Released:2018
    Style: Dark Ambient, Ambient, Downtempo, Synthwave, Modern Classical

    In the four years of production Apoptose selected a wide range of different singers for this album. Most outstanding is classical trained tenor Daniel Sans. He sings «What Power Art Thou» – a song that was composed by Henry Purcell in the late 17th century. Apoptose and Sans preserve the complex harmonic structure of the original translating it into a breathtaking five minute ride in apoptotic soundspheres. They succeed in conjuring up Purcell’s «cold genius» that had already fascinated legendary countertenor Klaus Nomi in the 1980s. Other voices on «Die Zukunft» include the gloomy spoken words of the advance single «Time-lapse City», the lost girl’s voice on the title track and two female singers on «Dornen». Consistent with the album title Apoptose does not look back, but is heading for novel territories within the dark ambient music genre
