    The Dark Red Seed ‎– Stands With Death

    septiembre 15, 2017

    The Dark Red Seed ‎– Stands With Death
    Label: Prophecy Productions ‎– PRO 214 LP
    Format: Vinyl 12″ EP
    Country: Germany
    Released:14 Sep 2017
    Style: Neofolk

    The Dark Red Seed is the musical outlet of Tosten Larson, guitarist for Seattle dark folk musician King Dude. A self-coined ‘metaphor for the heart’, The Dark Red Seed represents a direct reference to life – and death – itself. The duo, which also includes King Dude engineer Shawn Flemming, is now about to release its debut EP, “The Dark Red Seed Stands with Death”.

    Described as ‘a study of death’, “The Dark Red Seed Stands with Death” is a dark, dusty discourse on the departure and ultimate dissolution of life; a powerful expression of absolute loss shaped through Larson’s haunting, Cash-like delivery. Each of the EP’s three songs represents various aspects of death (the death of America, death of culture and death of reality through technology and globalization), drawing on deep feelings and unanswered questions to create living, breathing sound.

    “I know when death comes for me I will most likely run away with blind fear,” Larson says. “I’m sure when death comes, I will almost certainly cling to life until my dying breath and pray to someone else’s god for salvation. But in life, I try to approach death as the ultimate acceptance. Whatever death and a possible life thereafter means to each individual, death is the only place where we might find answers. For in life there are only questions. Death is the one thing that awaits us all.”

    Raised in Kalispell, Montana and currently based in Portland, Oregon, Tosten Larson began his classical instruction as a young boy sitting at his grandmother’s piano. Firmly rooted in the traditions of American music, Larson’s sound is equally shaped by art rock such as Swans and Six Organs of Admittance, Eastern masters like Kayan Kalhor and Ravi Shankar, and hard rock staples such as Led Zeppelin and Neil Young. Though he wears his influences on his sleeve, his music attempts to defy category and carve its own path.

    The Dark Red Seed’s first full-length album, “Becomes Awake”, is already in the pipeline and tentatively scheduled for a summer 2018 release. The record is described as a detailed concept album that can be thought of as an answer or sequel to “Stands with Death”.

    Looking For Europe Book

    Looking For Europe Book
    Diesel, Andreas/Gerten, Dr. Dieter

    544 pages
    Publisher: Index Verlag
    Language: English
    Product Dimensions: 15.9 x 3.2 x 23.1 cm

    Neofolk has nothing to do with folksy sing-along music – this music stems from the dark Gothic music scene and is nothing to sway to. It is a playground for punky attitudes and SS death-heads, for pastoral romanticism and Riefenstahl aesthetics. For years now, feelings have been running high about Neofolk. No other contemporary music genre raises so many questions about freedom of art and freedom of speech. With more than 520 pages, Looking For Europe is the first book dealing in a comprehensive and non-dogmatic manner with the blackest chapter of the music underground. All relevant bands of the genre are portrayed in exclusive interviews and photos. The book highlights the field of tension Neofolk is situated in. The range goes from fragile folk to noisy Industrial, from right-wing anarchists to left-wing uniform wearers, from Paganism to Satanism and Christianity, from gay fetishism to obscure artistic treatments of ideological propaganda. ENGLISH LANGUAGE! 528 pages, paperback

    Format: CD, Album, Digipak
    Country:Russia

    Project Tamerlan was created in the year 2006, in Belgrade/Serbia, by Timur Iskandarov, the musician born in Russia. In the beginning, the project presented itself within the ethereal/dark ambient genre, however, with time, the sound evolved into the dark folk/goth spheres, which it explores even today.
    The new album “Luciferian” shows the most diverse and experimental work in TAMERLAN’s discography, combining the existing dark folk formula with the elements of goth rock, darkwave, industrial, occult rock, psychedelic, and even black metal. Continuing the tradition started on the previous album, this one also features the certain number of guest musicians: Cecilia Bjargo (Der Blaue Reiter, Sophia, ex. Arcana), Bornyhake (Borgne), Will Connor (Seesar, Perkelt), Aleksandar Maksimovic (The Father Of Serpents / Tibia) and Khargash (Khargash / Obscured)

    Sieben – Our Solitary Confinement ‎(2xLP, Album)

    marzo 25, 2017

    Sieben – ‎Our Solitary Confinement
    Label: Dark Vinyl Records ‎– DVLP09
    Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album
    Country: Germany
    Released: 03 Feb 2017
    Style: Neofolk

    This record was recorded at Redroom Studio, Sheffield, England, during 2002. It was written, performed and produced by Matt Howden. The original CD (TRI 151) came out on the Trisol/Iceflower label.

    This was the first Sieben album to be a solo endeavour, but was before the looping phase of my Sieben career. That would come next, with the release of Sex & Wildflowers. Songs on this album were inspired by, or written in conjunction with photographs by Danish photographer Kristine Haffgaard. We inspired each other. This record has been mastered for vinyl by Bobby Bachinger at MAG Studio, Germany. Sleeve design by Martin Bedford.

    This vinyl edition runs to two records. All songs from Our Solitary Confinement are included, plus an unreleased work, The Sound Of His Horn. Written at the same time, The Sound Of His Horn was intended to be a book CD release through Tartarus Press. The idea was that it would accompany the book the music takes its name from, by author John William Wall (pen-name Sarban). For some reason this never quite happened. It is possibly one of my most ambient works – though has its scary moments, principally because it was written to accompany a spooky tale. The music to the Sound Of His Horn pinches and intertwines musical lines and beats from Our Solitary Confinement, Voyager (an album released under my own name that I was also working on at the time), and Hellfires (Redroom 002, released 2001). I’m often working on quite a few projects at the same time. With those that aren’t central to what I do, as with the Sound Of His Horn, I enjoy being free of ‘writing from fresh’, and will lift and re-use material. So strange to come back to these pieces I’ve never re-listened to, and hear echoes of Our Solitary Confinement peek through the soundscape.

    Sieben ‎– Each Divine Spark

    Sieben ‎– Each Divine Spark
    Label: Dark Vinyl Records ‎– DVLP-7
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album
    Country: Germany
    Released: 25 Feb 2014
    Style: Acoustic, Neofolk

    Lim Edition (150 copies in black vinyl) ; Gatefoldcover

    Each Divine Spark was lovingly knitted and written, rehearsed and diced; recorded live, loud and looped in a beautiful space; layered delicately and slow-roasted at home over UA-Ds, tape saturation and warm delays; passed over the ears of people who appreciate and emit sonic sorcery; then sensitively mastered to preserve said sonic sorcery. The space in this record is the subtlest sound I have never made, but can lay claim to.
