    Ionophore – Sinter Pools
    Label: Malignant Antibody ‎– Treatment06
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: US
    Released: 14 Mar 2016
    Style: Ambient, Drone, Experimental
    Ionophore ‎– Sinter Pools

    Ionophore is the project of the SF Bay Area/London-based multi-instrumentalists Leila Abdul-Rauf, Jan Hendrich, and Ryan Honaker. The trio weaves dark electronics and neoclassical soundscapes with heavy drones, seamlessly melding the orchestral strings of Honaker, the horns and voice of Abdul-Rauf, and electronic manipulations of Hendrich. Working closely with mastering magician Myles Boisen (known for his work with Angelo Badalamenti, John Zorn, Fred Frith), the result is an entrancing original sound, combining cinematic tones with beat-driven, ethereal ambience. A genre-bending and highly creative album that embodies the more adventurous and forward thinking nature of what Malignant Antibody was designed to release.

    Aderlating – Hell Follows

    julio 25, 2016

    Aderlating – Hell Follows
    Label: Black Plagve ‎– Infect16
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: US
    Released: 10 Dec 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient, Power Electronics

    Hell Follows takes a somewhat altered approach as it moves away from the ritualistic horror and smothering claustrophobia of past releases, and into a more spacious realm, with more distinguished sounds and clearer instrumentation. That’s not to say that Hell Follows isn’t steeped in atmosphere and dark energy. The 9 tracks are unpredictable, wildly hallucinatory and beguiling…odes to nightmares and flickering visions of torment and anguish, an alchemy of blackened kosmiche keyboard textures, raspy, foreboding voices, and passages of corrosive rumblings, hellish drift, and sinister percussive clangor.

    Mories has stated that Hell Follows was recorded live in the studio with less computer processing, and it shows in the amorphous quality of the tracks; a Coil like sense of psychedelia and surreal wooziness to some, a hopelessly dark and apocalyptic feel to others that adhere more to the traditional Aderlating template. Collectively, it’s a wild and mercurial sonic journey that resides on the peripheral of anything Mories and Eric have done to date, and yet at the same time, makes perfect sense within their discography.

    Common Eider, King Eider ‎– Extinction

    julio 18, 2016

    Common Eider, King Eider ‎– Extinction
    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR219CD
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: UK
    Released: 11 Apr 2016
    Style: Drone, Dark Ambient, Doom Metal

    A new ritual from this long running doom/drone/ambient collective, offering up modern manifestations of ancient energies, channelled into smouldering swathes of ceremonial hypnosis and explosive gouts of blood-red radiance. Extinction is an extended ceremonial rite conducted below ground at the Wisp House (R.I.P.). A song suite of psychedelic devotionals assembled from reverb drenched industrial drones, billowing clouds of metallic throb, and churning, rhythmic bombast. Fields of ghostly incantations suspended in the ether, draped over metallic murmurs and moaning melancholia. The low end rumble of monk-like chants beneath the soft tangle of keening lamentation. A slowly evolving sensory sacrament, tense and harrowing, punctuated by dense dramatic swells and aching, mournful mantras.

    Tracks: 1.  Extinction (11:27) | 2. Black Bough (8:07) | 3. Crystalline Shores (9:16) | 4. A Wisp Of Smoke, And Salem Burns (12:36)
