THE RETURN OF MONUMENTAL OCCULT GERMAN DOOM !!!

The monumental modern Doom / Death act ADVERSVM has returned with their highly anticipated new album “Vama Marga”! Established in Germany in 2015, ADVERSVM came forth with a mission, one which they have clearly accomplished: To create art more sinister than black metal and death metal, and to manifest this sound with apocalyptic verses. “Vama Marga” is the 3rd full-length recording from the tenebrous titans, following their highly praised “Dysangelion” (2019 Moribund Records) and coveted debut “Aion Sitra Ahra” (2018 Iron Bonehead).

“Vama Marga” speaks in tongues with doomish, blazing and epic soundscapes to the infernal regions of the heart. ADVERSVM’s magnum opus to date invokes 10 anthems of left-hand-path apotheosis, Nietzscheism and traditional Satanic power. Creeping with shadowy cold darkness, atmospheric interludes collide with utterly crushing and mesmerizing death / doom metal. “Vama Marga” is an atmospheric journey from slow depths to raging fires and back into the icy abyss of the soul.
Witness ADVERSVM’s Apocalyptic Awakening!

Das zweite Album ging irgendwie an mir vorbei, aber das erste find ich mördergeil.
 
Hätten auch in den Sludge-Thread gut gepasst, von der fiesen Wucht her, aber da sie sich selbst als Death Doom mit Beatdown-Hardcore (den ich kaum raushöre allerdings..) bezeichnen, geht auch hier klar. Die mir bis dato unbekannten KRUELTY kommen aus Tokyo und haben gestern auf dem Bloddshed echt fett abgeräumt! Supertiefe Gitarren, eine geil abgehende Bassistin und fiesen Röhrer am Mikro machen super wuchtigen, sludgigen Death Doom-Sound, der eben fette Beatdowns hat, die für Walzensound mit gar bisserl Bolt Thrower Feeling aufwartet. Waren echt ziemliches Brett und klare Empfehlung:

Gerade mal wieder die Skepticism - Companion im player. Die gefällt mir wirklich ziemlich gut, auch der Vorgänger Ordeal ist echt super. Glaube viel mehr Funeral höre ich garnicht regelmäßig.

Osmose ist mit dem Versand der neuen EP von Mournful Congregation "The Exuviae of Gods - Part II" wirklich zeitig dran. Offizieller Veröffentlichungstermin ist ja erst am 26.05., das Paket kam aber bereits vorgestern hier an. Erstlauschung folgt heute Abend.:jubel:
 
Kleine Doom-Anekdote aus aktuellem Anlass. Hatte mir im November 2022 die neuste Scheibe von Shallow Rivers als CD geordert. Da sie auch nach drölfzig Jahren und Erinnerungen ebensowenig kam wie eine Reaktion der Band auf E-Mails, machte ich einen PayPal-Fall daraus und bekam das Geld erstattet. Ist eine russische Band, gibt also genug Gründe, warum sowas dieser Tage schiefläuft.
Überraschenderweise erreichte mich im März eine E-Mail der Band mit netter Entschuldigung ("We are truly slow doomsters") und der Nachricht, sie hätten mir die CD nun trotz der Rücküberweisung geschickt, inkl. Trackingnummer. Das war ein netter Twist.
Nach einem Monat dann leider der nächste Twist: Die CD wurde nach Wochen in der Zollschleife aus irgendwelchen Gründen an den Absender zurück gesendet.
Nun ja, schön wäre es gewesen. Habe das Entgegenkommen der Band goutiert, indem ich die Vorgänger-EP digital mit ordentlich Aufschlag eingetütet habe, und jetzt die ursprünglich gewünschte CD bei einem tschechischen Mailorder bestellt.
 
Fair!!


Ich warte immernoch auf die Assumption LP
Immerhin gab's Mal ne pro aktive Mail von Gorgio.
Angeblich ist es Ende des Monats soweit.

Komisch, ich habe die CD problemlos und vergleichsweise schnell geschickt bekommen. Auch im Zoll wurde das Paket nicht abgefangen.

Scheint Glückssache zu sein. Meine Nachbestellung über Epidemie Records (CZ) kam heute auch an.
Die von mir eher nothalber verhaftete Vorgänger-EP ("Prometheus Unbound", ein Song mit rund 20min) ist übrigens sehr geil. Monolithischer und verzweifelter.

After the amazing massive recognition which “Frío” had among you all, Ornamentos del Miedo are back with their astonishing new full-length album, “El Cosmos me Observa en Silencio”, the fourth one in their exciting career, a new exercise of their extremely anguished and tormented way of understand and play atmospheric funeral doom...

We are facing perhaps the most oppressive and uncomfortable album in the Ornamentos del Miedo career, Ángel Chicote continues his singular descent into the underworld of the darkest emotions with six extremely agonizing songs of pure melancholy and despondency, capturing all the sorrow over the world and compressing it into more than 70 minutes of sonic lunacy for the likes of bands like Evoken, Funeral, Catacombs, Shape of Despair...

And pay very close attention, first pressing limited to 66 hand-numbered copies in luxury oversized digifile is now available for preorder as well as the exclusive collector’s edition, only 10 copies housed in engraved wooden box with gifts!!!

On August 25th, PERSONAL RECORDS is proud to present OF DARKNESS' highly anticipated second album, Missa Tridentia, on CD format.

A cult band even among an already-cult scene, OF DARKNESS are an experimental funeral doom band hailing from Barcelona. While exuding the characteristic traits of the subgenre - sepulchral tones, glacial pace, suffocating atmosphere - the Spaniards look beyond mere metal for idiosyncratic deployment of other such musics as ambient, industrial, and especially classical. Intensely atmospheric and deeper than the abyss, their sound is the perfect landscape for the members' extreme nihilistic beliefs. And although those members concurrently play in such distinguished bands as Teitanblood, Balmog, and Graveyard among many others, in thought and deed is OF DARKNESS entirely its own entity.

OF DARKNESS was born in 2003 and released their first demo, Death, a few months after. In 2004, the entities behind the band started working on a new work, The Empty Eye, which was released in 2005. Around that time, several labels showed interest in both records: Goatowarex Records and Xtreem Music. None of those deals came to a good end, so the band stayed on hold for a few years until Psychedelic Lotus Order (the new guise/ruse of infamous rip-off Goatowarex) and Black Mass Records decided to give a second chance to both records, re-releasing them on limited vinyl and CD in 2009/2010. In 2012, in conspiracy with Black Mass Records again, OF DARKNESS released Scorpiace, a split tape with legendary Galician drone / ambient / industrial act Like Drone Razors Through Flesh Sphere, which was re-released (including another very long track) later on CD by Gradual Hate Records in 2015. Perhaps most indicative of the band's unique take on funeral doom was the release of Tribute to Krzysztof Penderecki - Passio et Mors Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Lucam. More or less their debut album, the 43-minute record indeed interpreted two compositions of modern classical master (and master of tension & terror) Penderecki, complete with a cover that mirrored those of Deutsche Grammaphone's long-running line of classical records.

Fittingly for their cult nature, OF DARKNESS have never been an active band in a traditional way; it's just an on/off project that appears every once in a while, so many people thought and still think the band is on hold or even inactive - which, in a way, is true. During the infamous lockdown, the trio decided to prepare new material, which was composed, recorded, arranged, and mixed in three days: as usual for OF DARKNESS since they never rehearse, and rather just improvise in the studio while recording. Nevertheless, what has emerged - the seven-song/43-minute Missa Tridentia - is a monumental album that sounds anything but improvised. Solemn and spacious, much like an ancient cathedral, OF DARKNESS' second album slowly unfolds, each minute moving ominously but with portent, almost soothingly, as textures flicker with recognition but then fade away, and on and on and on again. The whole work is threaded together as one massive composition, and therein lies the genius of OF DARKNESS: taking far more cues from classical than funeral doom, one could view these separate movements as suites of a larger orchestral work, and indeed do they incorporate orchestration that arguably plays a great role than the usual metal-oriented instrumentation. At times, there's a diabolical disconnect - and successive dissonance - between both elements, as if they're each playing of their own accord; but then, like slowly undulating wisps of smoke, a certain sense of order arises, haunting and hypnotizing. It's incredibly avant-garde without being belabored or overbearingly performative about it. It's also unlike most "funeral doom" records past and especially present. OF DARKNESS challenge even the bravest listeners with Missa Tridentia.

Die in meinen Augen grandiose griechisch-finnische Melodic Death Doom Band AEONIAN SORROW hat heute den ersten Song vom neuen Album KATARA veröffentlicht. Zum Track ANEMOS gibt es auch ein Lyric-Video:


Die Band kommt im November auf Euro-Tour und sucht für Samstag, 04. November noch nach einem Gig. Alle Booker aus Süddeutschland fühlen sich hoffentlich angesprochen!

Hypnotic Dirge is proud to present its first release of 2023, the glorious yet gloomy return of New Zealand/Australia Orphans of Dusk.

It has been ten years since the band’s inception in 2013, and nine since their last offering on Hypnotic Dirge Records. In 2014, Orphans of Dusk released “Revenant,” a brilliant 4-song EP that conjured the grandeur of goth and death-doom blackest of the black.

Described as a talented successor to Type O Negative and Woods of Ypres, Orphans of Dusk demonstrates the ability to write memorable songs with powerful riffs, weaving heaviness and beauty into a lush gothic atmosphere.

This Winter, Orphans of Dusk opens their goth-doom gasket again, coming back to life to present “Spleen,” their haunting new album. Spreading its vice over 8 songs, “Spleen”’s full length duration enables the band, over the course of 50 minutes, to bring listeners further into their sublime dark universe, pushing further all facets that gave its identity in the first place. “Spleen” picks up where “Revenant” left, immediately displaying a well produced record and melodies that will immediately find its place in many gothic and doom music libraries. On “Spleen,” Orphans of Dusk however chooses to focus less on the previous atmospheric death-doom elements, and more on the gothic vocals and guitar harmonies. As a result, “Spleen” hits like a stake through the heart – it is the band’s most mature offering to date, and one that should gather the world’s gothic-doom scene’s attention.

Recommended for fans of Type O Negative, Woods of Ypres, Unto Others, Helevorn, A Pale Horse Named Death, and My Dying Bride.
 
Yup, finde es gut. Die Kreuzung von Funeral Doom und Space Ambient, das hintergründige Rumgeraune, die verwaschene Produktion ist alles voll mein Beuteschema, sogar die Atmo-Knüppelpassagen in „Sermon of the Chaos Pilgrim“ und „The Throne of Death Towers Above the Abyss“ finde ich gelungen, was in dem Genre selten der Fall ist. Nur warum der Dumcomputer häufig die Achtel auf der Bassdrum mitspielt, erschließt sich mir nicht, und hat auf Albumlänge einen kleinen Nerv-Faktor.
Könnte was für Leute sein, die den Output von Markov Soroka mögen.
