    La Fiesta Triste – La Belleza del Óxido

    “La belleza del óxido”(2021) sugiere una reflexión sobre el paso del tiempo, una metáfora de nuestra efímera existencia. Una visión poética de la corrosión de la piel, del alma, sobre la edad y la muerte, mostrando la belleza que hay en este proceso decadente, tal y como sucede con la oxidación de los metales en su exposición al tiempo y a los elementos.

    El hilo conductor sónico y estético del disco es la referencia al óxido: ruidos, chirridos y metales, que acompañan a las melodías creando un paisajes coloristas que se mezclan con elementos de varios estilos musicales de los que se influencia, como EBM, post-punk, noise, psytrance, post-rock…siempre con un estilo propio muy reconocible, bases electrónicas bailables minimalistas y repetitivas, adornadas con melodías melancólicas de guitarra, bajo y sintetizadores.



    /// ENG ///

    LA FIESTA TRISTE is the solo project of Javier Andreu (a.k.a. Fête Triste), a musician, producer, designer and photographer from Valencia (Spain).
    He studied music and piano at the Official Music School. Later in life he taught himself to bass, electric guitar, drums, synthesizers and music production. This project arises from the ashes of other bands in which he has participated (Basura de Eva, VIE and Pronoise).
    After some self-produced works, such as «Ciudades Invisibles» (2000), «Minimalista» (2005), or «Desaparecer» (2019), published on CD and digital platforms. In this new album Fête bets on the vinyl format and the «Do it yourself» production, with the collaboration of the label GH Records.

    This new album closes a cycle of several years of producing and composing, and comprises a selection of 8 songs chosen from a large number recorded in recent years. The music, the concept, the design of the covers, have been entirely created by Fête, except for “Todos contra todos” a free version inspired by an original song by Sergio Alfonso (producer and drummer). The theme «To Helen» is a tribute to the romantic literature of Edgar Allan Poe, and the lyrics are taken from the author’s poem with the same title.

    Mixing and mastering are carried out by the producer José M.ª Aboga and the promotional video for the song “Crepuscular” has been made by the video artist Lesya Yershova. Avencio Delgado collaborates with his label GH Records, Jesús CTG (APMV Asociación Promotora Multicultural Valencia / Emergencia Sonora https://emergenciasonora.es/) and Dani Sombra (Dark Valencia), collectives with tradition in this type of music in the city.



    “La belleza del óxido /The beauty of rust” (2021) is a reflection of how time goes by, a metaphor for our fleeting existence. A poetic vision of the corrosion of the skin, of the soul, of age and of death, showing the beauty that exists in this decadent process, just as happens with the oxidation of metals in their exposure to time and the elements.
    The sonic and aesthetic thread of the album is the reference to rust: noise, squeaks and metals, which accompany the melodies creating colorful passages that are mixed with elements of various musical styles from which it is influenced, such as EBM, post-punk, noise, psytrance, post-rock … always with his own very recognizable style, which consists of minimalist and repetitive dance electronic bases with melancholic melodies of guitar, bass and synthesizers.

    Five years of Dark Ambient Sounds – Mørk Skog

    Format: Digital Compilation
    Country: Spain
    Released: 2016
    Style: Dark Ambient, Dark Wave

    Mørk Skog has started in the early months of 2006, initially as a minimalistic dark ambient project, influenced by ambient instrumentals and intros of early black metal. After two demos, the project was suspended, in order to focus more on metal music. Mørk Skog reignited in 2008, this time more into the post-industrial and experimental underground, touching nearly all genres of them in the coming five years (including dark ambient, noise, neoclassical, electro-industrial and even martial for one song in 2010) and releasing many demos, EPs and albums. After releasing a tribute album to H. P. Lovecraft and ENDVRA titled Dreams of Black Mountains, the project was closed down forever in 2013 in order to focus more on Kraschau (containing dark ambient parts in it’s last album, Une Foi d’Acier).

    Camerata Mediolanense – Vertute, Honor, Bellezza

    Label: Auerbach Tonträger ‎– AB 056
    Format: CD, Album, Digipak
    Country: Germany
    Released: 2013
    Style: Modern Classical, Experimental, Darkwave, Medieval, Renaissance

    Italian music collective’s fourth album

    Ever since its foundation in 1994, Italian collective Camerata Mediolanense merges Wave and Post Punk with the musical spirit of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, not shying away from experimentation. Although they have been received mainly within the neoclassical and neofolk spheres, professional composer and musicologist Elena Previdi and her entourage cover a wide area, ranging from traditional songs across archaic rhythmic parts to electronic elements, all of which make it hard to categorize the three studio albums, multiple singles, and EPs Camerata Mediolanense has issued so far.

    After five years in the making, Camerata Mediolanense’s fourth album “Vertute, Honor, Bellezza” (English: “Virtue, Honour, Beauty”) is finished now. With the new album the band continues to proceed on its path, mixing archaic, traditional and tribalistic music with experimental and electronic sounds.
    The album is the centrepiece of Camerata Mediolanense’s “Petrarca project,” which is conceptually based on the poetry of 14th century scholar, poet, and humanist Francesco Petrarca, one of the fathers of Italian language and literature. The project was initiated by the CD single “99 Altri Perfecti” (2011) and is closed by the CD single “Vergine Bella,” which are both included in the art-book edition of “Vertute, Honor, Bellezza.”

    Ashram- Shining Silver Skies

    Label: Equilibrium Music – EQM010
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Portugal
    Released: 22 May 2006
    Style: Neo-Classical

    Gifted with a musical sensibility that remains unparalleled, ASHRAM have conquered a discreet yet faithful fanbase around their delicate music and memorable live performances.
    The Neo-Classical style that acts as a foundation to ASHRAM’s music is usually built upon the moods of pianist Luigi Rubino, who sets a black and white cinematographic mannerism to the songs, hereby uplifted by violinist Edo Notarloberti’s arrangements, a performer well-known from various previous collaborations with other Napolitan projects, and whose soaring violin phrases confer a moving brilliance and distinct character to the project. Sergio Panarella, the group’s singer endowed with a beautiful crooning voice, adds the lighter tones to ASHRAM’s creations, by contributing also with a couple of acoustic guitar-based mellower Folk ballads now and again.
    Four years after their homonymous debut, the Italian ensemble finally completes their second album, “Shining Silver Skies”, a work which unfolds itself as an exercise in musical bliss and purity, drenched in sweet nostalgia that flickers through memories of aching loss or rapturous passion. The trio is also assisted by guest cellist Leonardo Massa on these recordings, whose contribution brings a discreet additional depth to “Shining Silver Skies”, an album which not only embodies the romantic backdrop of early 1900’s glamour but that also flirts with a slightly naïve Folk spirit occasionally.

    THE GRAAL – A tribute to the Holy Grails


    The sacred texts indicate that during Jesus’ crucifixion his blood was collected in a cup by Joseph of Arimathea. After being released from prison, he took the chalice to a mysterious place, a mythical island where it was built the first castle and was created the order of The protectors of the Holy Grail.

    Is this just a myth or a metaphysics truth? The search of the Graal existed and exists in the present time; from Asia to America, and there are many who say they have it in churches or museums. A grail. Thousand grails.

    THE GRAAL – A tribute to the Holy Grails – delves into the myths around the sacred chalice: since its creation from a detached emerald gem of Lucifer, to the extravagant court of King Arthur, passing by the enigmatic Argentinean Patagonia, where there would be buried next to the body of the Knight Parsifal.

    Old enigmas. Contemporary enigmas. All are looking for the Holy Grail, the magic object that can immortalize the body and soul of the one who has it

    Track list:

    CIRCUNCELION – Sangrial
    ERG – Sacro catino
    PERSONA – Phoenix graal
    THE WYRM – El pecado esculpido
    KAZERIA – Arcturus , king of Arktos

    As Mist That Forsakes The Morass
    de Begotten – Forgotten, de Circuncelion

    Primer tema que abre el disco de Circuncelion: Begotten – Forgotten

    Como la niebla, que nunca abandona la ciénaga (As Mist That Never Forsakes The Morass)

    Retorcidos deseos cosechan miedos
    Amaneceres dorados de la locura que acechan
    Voces acalladas, manos atadas a aquellos que pretenden
    Desenmascarar la farsa, aquellos que nunca se doblegarán
    Una tierra árida, la codicia del hombre
    El mal que azota al mundo, una pluma envenenada.
    Charlatanes, calumniadores, titiriteros locos
    Embaucadores de la libertad a quien debemos obedecer.
    Decaeremos, está en camino, el progreso y la autodestrucción
    Desconcierto delirante, la ira nunca se detendrá
    El barco navega a la deriva, en busca de vellocino de oro
    Un calvario sin sentido por mil siglos.
    Parca de todo ser viviente, asesinos con los ojos vendados, reyes de genocidio
    Raza dañina y despótica, que de sus sueños enfermizos se alimenta
    La naturaleza humana y sus defectos nocivos
    Como la niebla, que nunca abandona la ciénaga
    Un mundo herido, efecto secundario de saqueos irresponsables
    Un oscuro presagio en tiempo presente para pagar por todos nuestros pecados.

    There’re just a few albums whose music makes the people feel out of this world. Al Beauty Is Sad, the first Ophelia’s Dream album is one of the most heavenly voices style bands I’ve ever heard and this album has the real essence of heavenly sounds.
    The debut album was originally released by the legendary Hyperium label , and the sound of this album is still fresh and innovative.
    This time , and as its a long delete work. 

    All about beauty and melancholy, emotions and passion.
    Presenting very strong song material yet. But artistic facilities exceeded those of production-technique in those early days of Ophelia’s Dream.

    Pieter Nooten (born 22 January 1961 in Oss) is a Dutch musician and composer best known for his work with Clan of Xymox.

    Pieter makes music in a more ambient stile, but with a personal touch, sometimes indie, sometimes dark wave, sometimes in his own and personal visions. With a mix of vocal tracks and instrumentals, Pieter Nooten is a most original and unique artist to emerge in.
