SEPTIC MIND
"Rab"

Format: CD
Veröffentlichungstermin | Release Date: 06.10.2014
Land | Country: Russia
Genre: Funeral Doom Metal

Das dritte Vollzeitalbum der russischen Band setzt das Studium der Probleme fort, welche im Zusammenhang mit dem Wahnsinn der modernen Gesellschaft und apokalyptischen Erwartungen stehen. Jene findet man in der Gesamtstimmung des Albums und den Songtexten wieder, aber auch in den musikalischen Arrangements.
Dazu gehören die abwechslungsreiche Gestaltung der Tempi, Passagen, die von Meditation bis Raserei reichen, von stilgerechtem Funeral Doom Metal bis hin zu avantgardistischen psychedelischen Experimenten. SEPTIC MIND beeindrucken mit schwerer und düsterer Musik fernab von irgendwelchen Standards. (SM)


--------------------------------------

ENGLISH

The third full-length album by a Russian band continues to study the problems of insanity of modern society and apocalyptic expectations which were embodied both in the general mood of the album and its lyrics, as well as in in its musical part: tempo variations, passages from meditation to fury, from canonic funeral doom metal to avantgarde psychedelic experiments. And again Septic Mind amazes the fans of heavy, dark and nonstandard music.

New album "Sumerian Chants" of Italian Doom Metal band Enoch released



Satanath Records co-release with Niberu Records (label from Russia) the new album "Sumerian Chants" of Italian Doom Metal band Enoch released in the last days of 2013.

SUMERIAN CHANTS is Enoch's last studio work. The 8-tracks is a blend of old-school doom and death metal, with a well-defined sound, thus far from polished and flat-sounding modern productions. Sumerian and Babylonian myths play a fundamental role in Enoch’s music, linking all the songs with oriental melodies, using byzantine scales as something of similar but still different from other oriental melody patterns used by bands as Nile or Orphaned Land. The final result is a constant background feeling of dark ancient landscapes, giving something new and unique.

Enoch hails from Italy dating back their roots in 1998 and “Sumerian Chants” is the fourth studio work, following milestones as “Enuma Elish La Nabu Shamu”, “Tetragrammaton” and the EP “The Dreaming City”. All the releases have always been hailed by positive reviews from many ‘zines, leading the band to continue the songwriting keeping a firm hold on the underground, where the band itself was born and want to resist.

On this recording:
Lorenzo plays guitar and all vocals.
Leonardo plays all keyboards and samples.
Daniele plays lead guitar.
All other stuff is contribution of the whole band.

All music by Enoch.
All lyrics by Lorenzo.

    New album "Nightfall" of THE HOWLING VOID released on Solitude Productions



    Format: Digi CD
    Release Date: 02.12.2013
    Country: USA
    Genre: Symphonic Funeral Doom

    Buy CD

    The fourth full-length album from one of the best funeral doom metal bands is ready to surprise the listeners. Although the style of the talented multi-instrumentalist Ryan hiding beneath the name of The Howling Void is kept, this album features new colors and musical impressions. This time clean melodious vocal employed at the previous EP “Runa” supports cold cosmic and majestic symphonies. Given the overall monolith of sound, diverse keyboards and guitar parties combined with ambient interludes make “Nightfall” vivid and rich. And from the first tones one can reveal behind detached sadness and reverie one of the unique bands of the genre.
    Following the tradition, the artwork again features a painting by a famous artist, this time Caspar David Friedrich, an outstanding representative of German romanticism.
    The first 100 copies of the album come as a noble strictly limited digipack.

    Tracklist:
    1. A Long Day’s Journey Into Night
    2. In Subterranean Temples
    3. God of the Gallows
    4. Mist and Moonlight
    5. The Chaos Beyond The Stars

    STATION DYSTHYMIA: "Overhead, Without Any Fuss, The Stars Were Going Out" released on Solitude Productions



    Format: CD
    Release Date: 01.07.2013
    Country: Russia
    Genre: Extreme Funeral Doom

    Buy CD

    The long awaited full length album from Siberian (Russia) funeral doom metal band Station Dysthymia rises this conservative genre to a higher level. Inheriting the album name from the «The Nine Billion Names of God» by Arthur C. Clarke this unpredictable album crafted in traditions of funeral doom inters the area of science fiction combining musical genre with fictional scientific theories. The musicians themselves treat the main idea of the album as perspective of human personal tragedy at the background of the tragedy of human society as a whole which tends to self-destruction. This is the band’s vision of the story of the World’s end: solid guitar sound combined with growl in different emotional tones draw the senses of mankind fallen into apathy and drifting towards self-destruction. The dark soundscapes were created with help of Greg Chandler from Esoteric who performed mastering at his studio in UK, M. Hater and I. Stellarghost from Abstract Spirit appeared as guest.

    Tracklist:
    1. A Concrete Wall
    2. Ichor
    3. Starlit – A Rude Awakening

    Country: Russia
    Genre: Melancholic Metal

    New extraordinary work from a famous melancholic metal band from Moscow, The Morningside. As we were told by band members the idea of this release appeared quite a long time ago as the story behind “The Trees” song was longer than the song and now it has its final. TreeLogia was step by step gaining its present form and finally appeared as a tale. The listener could make a decision himself if this is a story of a man lost among the trees and permanently became one of them or a stort of man fleeing from something, perhaps, his past, who found the harmony or loneliness or… gone insane. Or is it a very different story? One of band member considers The Trees Part Three as a chronologic beginning of the story, not a final.
    The second album title “The Album As It Is Not” also has some idea behind it as there is actually only one song at the album, despite of its diversity. Thus, The Morningside are ready to present their first CD-single which lasts for more that 50 minutes!
    The CD is issued as a limited digipack including an inlay with band photo, individual copy number, and original signatures of band members.

    Tracklist:

    1. The Trees Part One
    2. The Trees Part Two
