    Amber Asylum – Sin Eater


    Amber Asylum – Sin Eater

    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Germany
    Released: 04 Dec 2015
    Style: Neo-Classical, Post Rock, Ethereal

    Amber Asylum are unique

    Amber Asylum… a filmic fusion of modern classical and post-rock… where arias and Art Songs meet in a pale field of electronic disturbance. Equally at home in the opera house or the smoky, raucous din of an underground nightclub, Amber Asylum plumbs the crevasse between noise and beauty. Lyrical, confessional, dark yet aspirant, their strings, vocals, and spare percussion billow like furious mists across your consciousness. Dark as it is beautiful, spare as it is complex, its supernaturally decadent powers will overtake you in the remote reaches of your imagination.

    On “Sin Eater”, Amber Asylum’s first studio effort in six years, the four ladies from San Francisco combine the ominous energy of their drum- and bass-heavy albums “Garden Of Love” (2005) and “Still Point” (2007) with the lushest string arrangements in the band’s history. The subject matter of then album is the cleansing ritual of “sin eating”. Kris Force explains: “It still exists as a death ritual where the Sin Eater consumes a meal or ‘corpse cake’ that is passed over the body of the deceased or laid on the chest. The meal represents the sins of the deceased and once consumed by the Sin Eater the sins are released thereby allowing the soul to rest in peace. The album speaks of this process of taking on the pain of others to set them free.”

    “Sin Eater” does not only mark Amber Asylum’s debut for Prophecy Productions, but also the band’s 20th anniversary. In two decades, Kris Force and her fellow musicians released seven albums, several singles and EPs, not to forget their countless sampler contributions and collaborations with acts such as Neurosis, Swans or Sol Invictus. In order to celebrate the group’s 20th anniversary, a limited box set entitled “Anthology” is released at the same time as “Sin Eater”.

    Les Discrets – Ariettes Oubliées

    Les Discrets – Ariettes Oubliées

    Sello: Prophecy Productions
    Formato: CD, Album
    País: Germany
    Fecha: 10 Feb 2012
    Estilo: Post Rock, Indie Rock, Heavy Metal, Shoegaze

    An elegiac and sublime album of enraptured beauty

    On their second album, “Ariettes Oubliées…”, Les Discrets appear significantly matured in many aspects. Teyssier’s artistic vision is clearer than ever, and his vocal performance shows a big progression in comparison to past recordings. Winterhalter contributes arguably the best and most diverse drum performance of his carreer, and the sensitive, poetic lyrics of Audrey Hadorn add a further dimension to the album. The album’s tenor is more severe, yet the bittersweet melancholy and almost painful yearning – both characteristic of the debut album, “Septembre Et Ses Dernières Pensées” – here they are more moving than before. “Ariettes…” is an elegiac and sublime album of enraptured beauty that develops Les Discrets’ characteristic style in the hybridization of Post-Rock, Doom Metal, and Shoegaze convincingly in every element, to every extent,and which will cement the band’s status as a cornerstone of a new, thrilling music genre.

    Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden comes sludge doom quartet Walk Through Fire. “Drawling grooves and long, drawn out tones. There is a heavy element of drone doom mixed into the sludge here and the bands opening track more than capably demonstrates the atmospheric qualities and the crushing power of a band who knows how to do this right. Indeed, this eighty minute long epic is definitely one for taking its time but its feedback drenched tones never get old… at times the band display their softer, if not more ominous nature with a bout of colder and somehow harsher tones providing temperance for usual forceful nature of the band. For the most part though this album lives within an ocean of crackling bass, reverb laden atmospherics agonised melodies, a true opus of monstrous carnage wreaking chaos!”

    Sunset In The 12th House – Mozaic

    Label: Prophecy Productions
    Format: CD, Album, Digipack
    Country: Germany
    Released: 05 Jun 2015
    Style: Post Rock, Psychedelic Rock

    Psychedelic Post Rock from the minds behind Dordeduh

    Sunset In The 12th House is a new band founded by Dordeduh masterminds Edmond Karban (aka Hupogrammos) and Sol Faur. Acting mainly as an instrumental band, the quartet, which is completed by Dordeduh drummer Sergio Ponti and bass player Mihai Moldoveanu, performs a unique style that can be best described as a blend of Psychedelic Post Rock and traditional oriental music. The enigmatic band name refers to the astrological array in which the twelfth house is the house of subconsciousness and unconsciousness, of intuition, compassion and spiritual transcendence. It is the residence of the collective unconscious, the wellspring of symbols, archetypes and imagination.
    “Mozaic” is the band’s debut album and, as the name suggests, a very diverse, colorful work. It crosses various styles bound together by a natural flow from one musical theme to another. “Mozaic” is not a concept album in the true sense of the word even though it could be interpreted this way. Each song represents a stand-alone entity with a specific thematic. Their common conceptual background is the general idea of impermanence seen as constant change and a focus on inner metamorphosis of the human being on its unique alchemical path.
