    This album is dedicated to the memory of beloved
    JOHN RUSSEL MURPHY (11 July 1959 – 11 October 2015)

    TeHÔM brought us a new album with live audio recordings of the performance at the well known and huge Brutal Assault Festival (“Keep Ambient Lodge”) in Czech Republic on 12th August 2016.

    It was recorded through a mixer as well as two microphones to capture the essence of the experimental live sound.
    Vocals and special drone sounds are made with a tube instrument for this occassion and extra sounds are added in the live set.
    Tracks are slower than the original album versions to give them even more sense of dense and organic ritual to the performance.

    TeHÔM’s music recalls visions of ancient cultures, evoked by hypnotic, abstract and organic soundscapes wrapped in ritualistic and esoteric atmospheres. It is almost orchestral electronic music filled with tribal sounds, also serving as an example for almost every kind of ritual.

    The primordial flood of Chaos awaits to penetrate the innermost parts of your soul.

    This edition comes presented in a 12″ Picture LP with the bonus CD “Extra Assault” that contains extra and unreleased material only available on this set, a A4 printed sheet and a set of 3 postcards.

    Philippe Blache – Tristitiam Et Metus Tradam Portare Ventis



    Philippe Blache – Tristitiam Et Metus Tradam Portare Ventis
    Label: CONJVRE THE CIRCLE – CTC19
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: USA & Europe
    Released: Sep 19, 2024
    Style: Experimental, Dark Ambient, Darkwave

    Composed, recorded and arranged by Philippe Blache (alias « Day Before Us ») in Dole, from early to July 2024.

    «Tristitiam et metus tradam portare ventis» (I will give the sadness and fear to the winds) is a straightforward emotional journey based on brooding, lush, meditative and evanescent piano lines then moody-esque and tense cinematic atmospheres for sweeping electronic textures.
    Hints of noisy harshness comes out as grey clouds where graceful elegiac tones are trying to escape from. Philippe Blache is a sound artist and a cultural anthropologist found of electro acoustic research with an approach in ethno-musicology, in dark literary romanticism and in mystical spiritualism. He is the founder of the ethereal-neoclassical dark ambient project «Day Before Us», active since 2011. «Tristitiam et metus tradam portare ventis» is his third soloing effort. Recommended for those who enjoy tempestuous, epic and emotional vastness with a gothic-tinged accent and a devotional melodious catharsis.

    Common Eider, King Eider ‎– Égrégore


    Common Eider, King Eider ‎– Égrégore
    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR271CD
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: UK
    Released: 14 Jun 2019
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental

    Égrégore is a ritual collaboration between B.S.s. (Common Eider, King Eider) and Arexis (La Breiche, Coume Ouarnede, Stille Volk)… and all of the spirits of the Pyrenees present during those Dark Moon Rituals, wishing to speak.

    Born under May’s New Dark Moon in 2018, born in secrecy, in darkness, in Ritual. Born in a tiny cabin in the Pyrenees of France… Rituals documented late into the night and early morning hours. Voices captured whispering, wailing, lashing out. Bells ring to both banish and invoke. Recorded live using electronics, rocks, antler, branches and voice. Four offerings given as gifts to the black air… the burnt soil… Gifts to the Spirits living in those forests and mountains of the Pyrenees. Dark moon folk magic…

    Housed in a beautiful matte-laminate gatefold ecopak, with visuals prepared by Kevin Gan Yuen (Sutekh Hexen).
