Bleak Recordings is extremely proud to welcome Portuguese post-metal/sludge trio Wells Valley into their roster. Featuring guitarist/vocalist Filipe Correia (Concealment), bassist Pedro Lopes and drummer Pedro Mau (Kneel), the group formed in late 2011 and have recently completed the recordings of their debut album “Matter as Regent”, which will be released on February 7th.
 The forty minutes long, 6-track album is an incredibly unpredictable and evocative release, blending the monolithic heaviness of sludge/doom with the intricacies and atmosphere of dark post-metal. The trio have crafted an organic, intriguing and crushingly heavy sound that falls somewhere between the suffocating atmospherics of Neurosis and Cult of Luna and the complexities of Voivod and Ved Buens Ende. The theme of the union of matter with transcendence and the overall genesis of the universe matches the album's dark and disturbing sound, making “Matter as Regent” even more of an intriguing listen.
 
Co-released by Raging Planet and Chaosphere Records, this is a fascinating release that sets Wells Valley as one of the most promising and innovate bands emerging from Portugal in the last couple of years.

PROCESS OF GUILT’s new material is comprised of “Liar”, one piece divided in 3 movements (I, II e III), featuring the astonishing contribution of Kernal (the drone/noise/ambient project of Rorcal’s guitar player JP). This 18 minutes of new music show Process of Guilt evolving once again, capturing the organic and industrial vibes already present in FAEMIN and developing them further into building an hypnotic beast of mammoth proportions.
RORCAL ’s contribution to this 12” is made of 3 tracks (IX . X . XI) and sees them going further into their own brand of downtuned black metal deeply rooted in an attitude still related with the doom and sludge that paved their origins. Few bands out there are able to combine such density and brutality in a non-linear way as Rorcal.

Coreleased together with Cal of Ror, Lost Pilgrim Records, Labyrinth Productions, Nooirax Producciones, Chaosphere Records, GPS Productions.
