The Eternal Project -Precipice

Beyond the Ghost presents his second album in the Europa Series, a futuristic, bleak and moving sound voyage that merges electronics and acoustics.

London, the year is 2061. War is raging across Europe. Ultra-nationalist powers are fighting against each other, trying to conquer more territory and assert their supremacy. In London, enemy armies of cyborg soldiers and drones are taking over the city.  The capital is quickly falling into ruins, the dust from the rubble is still suspended in the air. Survivors gather in damp cellars, crouching in fear, swapping stories about how life used to be before authoritarian governments started playing their evil power games. Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Alliance, brainwashed and merciless, wreak havoc in the streets of London, a city now void of life and light. Retaliation is long overdue, but for now all hope has been annihilated and the fear has taken over. Europe has become a vestige of the past, torn to pieces and trampled upon. This is the Desolation Age.

Bandcamp

Passage into Oblivion

From France we welcome the latest release from Ascending Divers, solo project of Hugo Champion (of Lisieux fame), exploring massively deep atmospherics and drone Sonorites. Sculpting abstract aural soundscapes with orchestral passages and noisier elements, he's created a uniquely cinematic oeuvre conceived as a series of tableaux depicting submerged aquatic realms, "Watery Domains" is an ode to oceanic myths and it's appeal to our senses. Rhythmic tides of sonic energy take us from watery droplets formed by breaking waves to the deepest oceanic abyss, a truly immersive and out of time journey.

CD Edition of 300 copies in 6 panels Digisleeve, matt lamination. 9 Tracks. Running Time: 53:06

Metatron Omega presents us his 6th dark choir fueled album with Kataphasis. Gregorian choirs and droning chants enlighten the darkness.

"Since the beginning of time, humanity has been driven by a primal thirst for knowledge and a desire to comprehend the ultimate truth of existence. This unending quest has led Mankind to explore the frontiers of the universe and probe the boundaries of the material world. The monk-hermit seeks to transcend the limitations of the mortal realm and find a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. Through kataphatic meditation, prayer and contemplation, he strives to connect with a spiritual reality that overarches the physical world. He finds light within himself, yet he senses that it is not his - it penetrates through the veil of spacetime from the Unknown Source deep beneath the layers of all Existence."

Recommended for fans of dark choirs, cathedral reverberations and grimdark atmospheres.

Tomb of Seers

Alphaxone - Secret Path

The wind has changed. The Earth itself vibrates underneath. The wind speaks of the North — and so the journey begins.

They leave marks on the stones and carry the fire. Drums and flutes speak with the elements. Voices emerge and fade through the fog.

Through the nights full of rustling, of whispers and glowing eyes.

The bridge of ice welcomed them to a new land. And melted away behind them.

So the journey goes on…

Beyond the Ghost presents his first album in the Europa Series, a futuristic, bleak and moving sound voyage that merges electronics and acoustics.

BERLIN, the year is 2060. The whole of Europe is fraught with sickness and poverty and tensions are arising between the remaining populations.  Resources are low, war is imminent. The streets are cold and lonely.  The shining sun has become a notion of the distant past. Every day feels darker than the next. The people who are left stay locked inside, fearing for their lives. There is nothing left to do but wait out the inevitable doom. An old club called 'The Last Resort' is one of the only places that’s still open. There, a few brave and lonely souls gather together to drink the night away to the woeful tunes of the house band. Between sets, a broken alert system in the streets can still be heard, blasting out remnants of news that don't make sense anymore, like echoes of foreign voices lost in transmission. Against all odds, a few letters of the club's neon light still flicker on and off, illuminating the patrons' faces, their expressions hanging heavy with loss and pain. Few words are exchanged, and yet their devout presence during such times makes us wonder:  will they accept their defeat or will they fight for a better future? But for now, they are only focused on making it safely home after the last call, their heads hung low, their feet shuffling through the darkness, humming to the sounds they just heard, to mourn the loss of one more day during these sorrowful and suspended times.

Recommended for fans of noir, melancholy and molotov cocktails.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
