Tortorum - Descensus

Five years on from their Osmose-released debut, Hanc Aciem Sola Retundit Virtus (The Algolagnia Divine), FIDES INVERSA strike with their second album, Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans. In those five years, the Italian band have been honing their onstage assault all across the stages of Europe, their rituals becoming real celebrations of zealotry. That experience surely shows across the bold, finessed canvas of Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans, where "black metal" is rendered not as a definition but as an alternately life-giving/life-destroying force. Classicist yet paying no lip service to tradition, FIDES INVERSA invested their very souls in the creation of this second opus: exhaustive spiritual research and a total immersion inside the darkest manifestations of what the German theologist Rudolf Otto called "the numinous." The divine, in its most terrifying forms, takes life from chaotic sounds and revealed words whose intent is to represent the mystic terror and the undefeatable fascination of Death, the human nullification, in favor of a complete prostration to the One whose light is spread out of the darkest vacuum. Ascend and descend with FIDES INVERSA's Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans...

We are premiering the track "Liminal Spaces" from Marco Avitabile's upcoming album "A Few Meaningful Things," out on August 31st via Colectivo Casa Amarela.

RIYL: Bill Orcutt, Loren Connors, Alan Licht, David Torn

Marco Avitabile is an Italian guitarist and sound artist experimenting with textural, free-form improvisation. Having spent his youth within the local post-hardcore and metal scenes, Marco’s guitar playing is minimal and streamlined, more closely informed by visceral expressionism rather than technical proficiency. “A Few Meaningful Things”, his second solo work and first for Colectivo Casa Amarela, highlights string clang shining through live signal processing, providing a clear-eyed celebration of simplicity, flirting with multiple styles while not fully committing to any.
Whereas his previous work focused more on sound processing - used as a semi-generative mean to create improvised guitar music -, here crude performance takes center stage, renewing Avitabile’s dedication to the six strings and showing his most intimate approach to the instrument yet.

An abstract journey towards balance, between spontaneity on one side and meticulous craft on the other, much like the life situation that inspired these pieces: as Avitabile strives balancing the titular few meaningful things in his life - music making on one side, a day job and his family on the other-, the urge to create fights with the struggle to fulfill it, which is ultimately what fuels the urge itself the most.

Selected and edited by Avitabile himself from countless hours of home-recorded material, the tracks on “A Few Meaningful Things” were expertly mastered by James Plotkin, further underlying a lineage of post-genre, razor-sharp, instinctive guitar music the album aims at being a part of.

Premiere :  Marco Avitabile - Liminal Spaces [Colectivo Casa Amarela]

Always the vanguard of purist-yet-boundless black metal, W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the debut album of SHRINE OF INSANABILIS, Disciples of the Void. Although literally emerging from nothingness earlier this year, SHRINE OF INSANABILIS are no mere acolytes, instead evincing a master's knowledge across their debut album. Never more aptly titled, Disciples of the Void comprises six testimonies to the fiery aspiration for enlightenment through inconceivable nothingness. These testimonies are also manifested into this world by their corresponding sigils. SHRINE OF INSANABILIS vividly portray these visions through a heaving mass of obsidian black metal, forever rising and falling, surging and merging, offering glimpses of glory and valleys of despair in equal measure. Like most W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS, Disciples of the Void is impeccably recorded - bold, full-bodied, even Technicolor - with mixing & mastering done by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, and finished off with David Glomba (Teitanarts) cover art truly deserving of its malefic contents. Blinding darkness, unbearable silence, and incureable madness, all displayed for everyone to experience: this is a raging beginning on a path through the Void.

ILL OMEN - Decrepit Heart of the Shadow-Sun

From "Philosophy Of Self-Flagellation: Being and Nothing", out now through Daemon Worship Prod.

LASHBLOOD, influenced by the likes of Sartre and Burgess, dives into the grey, nauseous apathy of the urban socium. Offering a bit of an avantgarde approach to the genre, the band freely utilizes saxophone and clean, sorrowful vocals, which reach the apotheosis on "Gospel Of Death". All this routine, this meaningless emptiness of the ever-repeating cycles.... It lives within all of us and drags us deeper and deeper through the helix of the mundane existence. Verily, it is Death reaching for us from beyond the veil of illusion, can you see her bony hand?

Order through DWP here.
