    Twilight ‎– Monument To Time End

    marzo 20, 2019

    Twilight ‎– Monument To Time End
    Label: Prophecy Productions ‎– WOLF 080
    Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue
    Country: Germany
    Released: 30 Nov 2018
    Style: Black Metal

    Often described as a «black metal supergroup», TWILIGHT has featured in its ranks, at one point or another, members of Xasthur, Draugar, Krieg, Leviathan, Lurker of Chalice, Minsk, Nachtmystium, Old Man Gloom, & Sonic Youth. Through the band’s diverse cast of musicians, they broke out of the traditional black metal blueprint, opening the style up to broader interpretation with a deft artistic vision.

    Sophomore, «Monument to Time End», features vastly epic tracks through a genre-crossing approach and cast. Flattered by a transparent, warm yet powerful production, the record still follows an overall black metal aesthetic, although flirts with elements of postrock, doom, industrial and all sorts of aural psychedelia. Enhanced by supreme, utterly creative performances on all instruments, and elaborate layering, this record could be seen as visionary. One might say they perform post black metal by its most literal meaning, before it became a genre.

    Prophecy Productions announces the reissue of TWILIGHT’S sophomore follow-up, «Monument To Time End» on LP. Originally released by Southern Lord Records in 2010, today, this special reissued vinyl edition features completely new and original cover artwork by Jef Whitehead (Leviathan/Lurker Of Chalice) and includes 3 bonus tracks, not included on previous vinyls.

    Edition:
    – Gatefold 2LP (180g vinyl, black) incl. 3 bonus tracks and protection sleeve (500 copies)

    Tracklist:
    01. The Cryptic Ascension
    02. Fall Behind Eternity
    03. 8,000 Years
    04. Red Fields
    05. Convulsions In Wells of Fever
    06. Decaying Observer
    07. The Catastrophe Exhibition
    08. Negative Signal Omega

    Style: Black Metal

    De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is the first full-length studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. Songwriting began in 1987,[1] but due to the suicide of vocalist Per “Dead” Ohlin and the murder of guitarist Øystein “Euronymous” Aarseth, the album’s release was delayed until May 1994. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is widely considered one of the most influential black metal albums of all time. It is the band’s only studio album to feature Aarseth and Varg “Count Grishnackh” Vikernes…

    From Corners Unknown

    Metal and Dark Ambient Webzine: Interviews, reviews, artist conversations, and podcasts

    VOICES FROM CORNERS UNKNOWN, EP. 8 (HIEMIS, FROM HARBOUR, MICROCOSMYS, LA TORTURE DES TÉNÈBRES)

    In episode eight we discuss the engulfing and monolithic drones on Nachtstücke from dark ambient artist HIEMIS, the melodic tides of From Harbour’s crushing hardcore debut Fatigue, and the atmospheric yet utterly chaotic split between microcosmys and La Torture Des Ténèbres titled THE GODS THEMSELVES.

    We dedicate this episode to Caleb Scofield, vocalist and bassist of Cave In, Zozobra, and Old Gloom, who tragically passed away a couple of weeks ago. May he rest in forever lasting peace.

    Thank you so much for listening and your continued support. Let us know what you think about each of these releases below and please feel free to leave us some album suggestions for future episodes

    Moloch – Verwüstung

    Label: Metallic Media
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: US
    Released: 19 Mar 2014
    Style: Black Metal

    “The album includes two types of music, reflecting what I gather are Fjordsson’s two divergent musical passions. The first and last tracks are wordless dark ambient pieces. They are markedly different from the six songs that come between them, but they don’t feel tacked on. They feel more like steps in a ritual, ithe first n preparation for what is to come – the emotionally harrowing storm of black metal. The cumulative effect of these songs is both electrifying and exhausting. It’s almost a relief when the final track arrives… I’m kind of dumbfounded that something this good is just one more surge in what seems to be a ceaseless flood of creativity from this band.” (No Clean Singing).

    Alcest – Kodama (Vinyl Picture LP)

    septiembre 13, 2017

    Alcest – Kodama (Vinyl Picture LP)

    Label: Prophecy Productions ‎– PRO 190 PIC
    Format: Vinyl Picture LP Album
    Country: Germany
    Released: 30 Sep 2016
    Style: Shoegaze, Post Rock, Black Metal

    “Kodama” the fifth album from Blackgaze pioneers, Alcest, marks the French duo’s ferocious return to the stylistic maximalism of its early albums while continuing the band’s relentless pursuit for new sounds and fresh ideas.
    “Kodama” is the Japanese word for ‘tree spirit’ and ‘echo’ and from the album’s structure and dynamics to its cinematic sound, “Kodama” indeed ‘echoes’ Alcest’s 2010 classic, “Écailles De Lune”. But this is no simple back-to-the-roots album: the band has more punch, rhythm and organic feel than ever before. While clearly influenced by bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Dinosaur Jr, Grimes and The Cure, “Kodama” ultimately reveals itself as Alcest’s ‘Japanese album’, drawing substantial inspiration from Japanese art and culture.

    Originally triggered by Hayao Miyazaki’s anime film “Princess Mononoke”, “Kodama” picks up on the fate of its protagonist and, at its core, deals with the sensation of not belonging; of living in between worlds, be it city and nature or the physical and spiritual one. Duality is also crucial for the visual approach of the album, realized by French graphic designer duo Førtifem. Paying tribute to Japanese illustrators like Takato Yamamoto, the visuals portray contrasting elements like nature/urbanity, youth/death, femininity/animality and combine poetic elements with darker ones that were not present in Alcest’s earlier works.

    By giving the album a cultural, stylistic and compositional narrative, Neige and Winterhalter keep “Kodama” from just being the latest improvement on the Alcest sound and instead make the album a most rare and exciting thing: a vital, relevant record from a pioneer that not only upholds the band’s trailblazing legacy but actually makes you want to see where they go next.

    Release date: 22.09.2017

    Crystalmoors ‎– The Mountain Will Forgive Us

    Label: Casus Belli Musica ‎– CBM 029CD
    Format: 2 × CD, Album, Digipak
    Country: Russia
    Released: 09 Sep 2016
    Style: Folk Metal, Black Metal, Celtic

    The cult Spanish group CRYSTALMOORS (Cantabrian/Celtic Pagan Metal) comes back after a long period of silence with their 3rd full-length album “The Mountain Will Forgive Us”.

    This special album will consist of two parts: the 1st CD “The Sap That Feeds Us” is the band’s brand new material in the vein traditional for the group, and the 2nd CD “La Montaña” contains the unplugged versions of some old and new songs played with folk instruments.

    “The Mountain Will Forgive Us” is an allegory, in which “The Mountain” (Cantabrian region in the North of Spain was called as “the Mountain” in the past) will always forgive its sons, even if they kill the descendants and commit suicide in order not to be taken prisoners by their enemies.

    “The Sap That Feeds Us” presents a metaphorical vision of juice and blood in which they are shown as the tree branches from whose roots we are fed with knowledge, and our wisdom is increased from its juice, which is, in fact, our blood.

    The album provides a listener with powerful riffs, warlike melodies, aggressive vocals of Lavin Uruksoth and epic choirs, and, after that, new unplugged interpretation of old hits should touch feelings of any devoted fan!

    Don’t miss this release, if you are fond of PRIMORDIAL, CRUACHAN, ELUVEITIE, MENHIR, early DARK TRANQUILLITY and DISSECTION.

    The disk is released as a double 6-panel digipak with two booklets, and CD with a pit-art drawing.
