SONG PREMIERE: a noend of mine - Des chemins crépusculaires (I-III)

February 4, 2021

For something a little bit different today, we have partnered with Invisible Oranges to premiere the opening three tracks (as one stylistic whole) from the forthcoming "a noend of mine" record "Sanctuaires".

"Carrying echoes of the early-1990s English experimental rock scene, the delicate but electronics-heavy pulsations found on upcoming album Sanctuaires redefines this project. Reflecting memories of the specific albums which defined the use of then-new genre tag "post-rock," Sanctuaires' soft twinkling and dirge-pop songwriting isn't necessarily a full transformation for a noend of mine. Pulling from the same nostalgic, downtrodden source which defined the band's earlier career, Sanctuaires is simply a new reflection of the same object."

The release date for Sanctuaires is Friday March 12.

Pre-orders will begin soon!

(Originally posted Friday January 29)

Another video/track from the forthcoming Omination album "NGR" has surfaced, this time for the track "Apocalyptic Ignis Fatuus", the second track on the album.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Detach yourself from the madness of our domestic behavioral patterns and embrace the wild wasteland.
Kill the tamed for the rebirth.

Know the rules of this world, become masters of these rules to break ...

ALBUM COVER: Nordicwinter - Sorrow

January 26, 2021

After the releases of the "Requiem" and "Desolation" full-length albums in 2020, Nordicwinter returns with "Sorrow" this spring, marking its third release in two years and continuing a very prolific period for the project.

As with its previous records, "Sorrow" examines the darker side of the human condition through somber and melancholic music. Sticking at a mostly mid-tempo pace, the tracks on "Sorrow" (with the exception of the outro) are all between 7-10 minutes in length, and flow with se...
