The scars soften - the silver knife melts. 
Sad-sack and cracked hearts, forever reaching the distorted harmony, 
never ceasing, beyond sight - sentimental, coarse reverie eats into euphony.

Each and all, we believe in our deities; although we may not tell, we worship in fear and in inspiration; although we may not feel it, we have our sacred places; although we may not see our idols, they are true in our dreams. Even as our prayer falls silent, these words of Voltaire will be, for us, forever true: if there were no God, it would be necessary to invent Him.

'Hedonistic Idols' is an album of six works by Volunteer Coroner, the avant-garde noise-and-ambient fusing project of artist and composer Preston Weippert. Through contrasts of harshness and fragility, the album explores truth in faith, and hope in decay.

Cinematic, grand, and pitch-perfect - the following mix from Softie is an awe-inspiring listening experience crafted without a single tone out of place, its scale feeling as immense as possible. It can be sincerely said that the Helsinki-based artist's selection feels like something more than a mix, moments of which are truly capable of leaving the listener speechless. 'It Had Nothing To Do With Summer', an album of electronic compositions, was released under the @eastern-nurseries label in September of 2021. Softie, quite evidently, holds a lot of promise for the future.

The immense soundscapes of Arkhad cannot be mistaken for those of another artist's - each work seems to be completely unrestrained, yet an over-arching sense of structure, a feeling of a looming megalithic presence haunts throughout. The rhythms are irregular and strange, yet palpable. The droning calls and textures appear inorganic, yet certainly feel natural; as if rising from beneath the living earth, from beneath deep layers of stone. The artist has been a known and unique presence in Lithuanian experimental art, traversing through drone, noise, post-industrial techno-hybrids, and many other unknown realms of music over the past decade. Such depths are thoroughly explored in the 18th Amulet of Tears mix.
