BMM. 027-09 Raventale – Mortal Aspirations

BMM. 027-09 Raventale – Mortal Aspirations

Format: CD
Release Date: 20.11.2009
Country: Ukraine
Genre: Black Doom

New Raventale album “Mortal Aspirations” demonstrates the final of
band's transformation from depressive black/pagan metal to black doom
metal. The music became more rigid and cold. Power guitar riffs framed
by atmospheric keyboards are able to veil the listener with the gloom of
night and take away to the world which has never been seen before.
“Mortal Aspirations” also features exclusively English lyrics which
evolve from panegyric on nature to inner feelings and emotional
experiences.

Tracklist:

1. The Fall Of The Mortal Aspirations
2. Cosmos Inside
3. My Birds Of Misfortune
4. A Fading Scent Of Cinnamon And Naked
5. Watching A Luna Becomes Thy Face
6. The Silhouette Of Despair
7. Escape To The Stars
8. Suicide As The Destined End
9. A Ravens Fade

BMM. 026-09 Kauan – Aava Tuulen Maa

Format: CD
Release Date: 18.11.2009
Country: Russia
Genre: Atmospheric Dark Rock

 

New album of this successful Russian band could be a real surprise for 
those familiar to early Kauan works mixing folk, black and doom metal. 
“Aava Tuulen Maa” shows musicians' yearning for more lyrical and soft 
music filled with refined atmosphere of calmness and melancholy. 
Harmonic combination of guitars and male vocals with piano and violin 
gives birth to unbelievably beautiful melodies filled with dark 
romanticism and unbounded nature spirits. New Kauan album is addressed 
to fans of such bands as Tenhi, Subaudition, Nest and October Falls. The 
20-page booklet is illustrated with watercolour paints adding new 
strokes to the musical mood of the album.

Tracklist:

1. Ommeltu Polku
2. Valveuni
3. Fohn
4. Sokea Sisar
5. Neulana Hetkessa

Format: CD
Release Date: 16.11.2009
Country: Russia
Genre: Melancholic Dark Metal

The second long-awaited album by Russian masters of melancholic metal,
The Morningside “Moving Crosscurrent Of Time”, holds the direction
chosen at the debut band album demonstrating combination of lyrical and
heavy compositions touched with the mood of slight sorrow. New The
Morningside work also demonstrates tendency to melodic complication
while fragmental parties of atmospheric keyboards associating with
Eduard Artemyev's works (”Solaris”, “Stalker”) add depth to the album
sound. The essential part of this album is inspired by Ray Bradbury'
novel “Something Wicked This Way Comes”. Brand new album of The
Morningside will be a perfect present both for old band's fans and for
all those Katatonia and Agalloch fans longing for a breath of autumn air
filled with fallen leaves smell. The album is issued on a gold-plated CD

SP. 031-09 Abstract Spirit – Tragedy And Weeds

Format: CD
Release Date: 10.10.2009
Country: Russia
Genre: Funeral Doom

Album “Tragedy And Weeds” has become a new era in the bands work, denoting the transition to a new, high quality sound, more thoughtful material, and the desire to mature. The team once again became a trio, but the Abstract Spirit has ceased from a side project of famous musicians  to a full band, performing live shows.
“Tragedy And Weeds” is the same sludgy funeral doom, full of  fleeting touches of depressive black. Melodies, filled with despair, and if is  filled with schizophrenic delusions, evokes feelings of anxiety and fear, casting the listeners down into the abyss of despair. The sound of wind instruments resemble the old, sad, funeral orchestra, accompanying the low belly growl, hysterical cries and sepulchral recitative. All this gives birth to a unique atmosphere Abstract Spirit!

Tracklist:

1. Tragedy And Weeds
2. Funeral Waltz
3. Crucifixion Without Regret
4. Face The Nightmare
5. Wrapped In Solitude
6. Sepulchral Winter

SP. 030-09 Nox Aurea – Via Gnosis

SP. 030-09 Nox Aurea – Via Gnosis

Format: CD
Release Date: 31.08.2009
Country: Sweden
Genre: Doom Death

The debut album of a young Swedish band Nox Aurea is specially created for those ones seeking for combination of aesthetic sophistication with solid sound and deep sense in doom death metal. "Via Gnosis" album is close in musical sense to the early works of Swallow the Sun being pierced by the gnostic philosophy veil and creating a unique atmosphere. Members of Nox Aurea earlier played in several black metal bands while now they try to create the very traditional doom death sound with its own mentality. Nine album tracks based on atmospheric keyboard sound are opened up before a listener as the pages of ancient book carrying esoteric wisdom in lyrics sung by vocals varying from growling to clean male and female vocals.
The album was recorded and mastered at Sonic Train Studios, in collaboration with Andy LaRocque (King Diamond)!

Tracklist:

1. Opus Draconus
2. The Funeral Of All
3. Suffer
4. Odium Divinum
5. Nights In Solitude
6. Distant Stars
7. Lost Amongst The Earth And Sky

SP. 029-09 S:t Erik – From Under The Tarn

SP. 029-09 S:t Erik – From Under The Tarn

Format: CD
Release Date: 30.08.2009
Country: Sweden
Genre: Psychedelic Doom Metal

Debut full-length album “From Under The Tarn” is a brilliant first step of a Swedish doom metal band S:T Erik towards the top of the genre. The music is mainly inspired by bands like Ufomammut, Sleep, Om, Electric Wizard and High On Fire. But the combined influences of the members’ previous engagements (ranging from death metal and stoner to post-rock), extensive use of spacey synthesizers and something as rare as a talented vocalist, result in an interesting sound, quite unique to the genre. Psychedelic doom metal filled with dense riffs performed by S:T Erik is an outstanding discovery for adepts of the genre.

Tracklist:

1. Goddess
2. The Search
3. Your Highness
4. Black Wall
5. Swan Song

Heavy Lord debut album "The Holy Grail" re-issue with bonus track

Rerelease of the demo album from 2004 of one of the leading Dutch Sludge-Doom bands. Fanatics of this kind of music chose this as the best album by Heavy Lord. This demo has been mastered by Peter Kloos from the Void Studios and filled with a bonus track, giving the listeners one hour of aggressive, stoned, and ground shaking Sludge. Bonus track "Get Down There You Bitch" has been recorded for this rerelease only. The composition originally comes from year 2004 - The Holy Grail period. This track never made it on the album until now.
Compared to other Heavy Lord albums, this one is a lot more raw and pure, but at the same time aggressive and uncompromised. The one thing that never changed during the years: unearthly energy and ultra heavy riffs.
100% analog recording.
