Aleph Null - Nocturnal - VINYL LP

With their seventh full-length InchNocturneInch, Hexvessel explore the liminal spaces between light and darkness, nature and solitude on an epic album. The ever evolving and shifting Finnish band has reawakened their treasured roots in folk music and psychedelic rock as they artfully weave acoustic interludes, cosmic synths, and spectral piano into the frost-spun threads on their black metal loom. InchNocturneInch sounds both familiar and fearlessly progressive as echoes of tradition entwine with a fresh reinvention of their characteristic sound. The seed of this masterpiece was sown by the performance of a commissioned work at Roadburn Festival 2024 that was originally entitled InchMusic for Gloaming A NocturneInch. With this album, it arrives fully fleshed in recorded form. This opus magnum blends the raw spirit of Quorthon's black metal with the intricate minimalism of contemporary composers such as Philip Glass, György Ligeti, and Avro Pärt. It's eclectic nature is elevated and underlined by select guest performances, including the vocals of Saara Nevalainen, as well as the avant-garde black metal luminaries Yusaf Vicotnik Parvez (DHG/DODHEIMSGARD), and ORANSSI PAZUZU's Juho Vanhanen. While Hexvessel are based in Tampere, Finland, they were founded by English singer & songwriter Kvohst aka Mat McNerney after he moved to the country in 2009. In many ways, Hexvessel reflect their founder. The vocalist and songwriter has instigated and been involved in various bands ranging from UK black metal act CODE, a stint in Norwegian legends DODHEIMSGARD, and to rock shooting stars BEASTMILK - Inch later 'continued' with GRAVE PLEASURES to name but a few of his success stories. With InchNocturneInch, Hexvessel invite all souls on earth to a transcendental night ritual that is imbued with DARKTHRONE, TANGERINE DREAM, Philip Glass, and sounds unearthed from the dead past, now

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 . In 1989 the Swedish band Stillborn released an album called Necrospirituals. Today it's seen as a cult classic and probably the first gothic metal album ever made. In fact, the term gothic metal was not even invented at that time. However, it's far from what today could be labeled as gothic metal. The one who managed to best describe the band is probably the signature Zodijackyl at the Metal archives InchStillborn meld the gloomy horror film origins of doom metal with the morbid aesthetics of gothic rock and create something special..Inch Although the band is relatively unknown to the vast majority, it has influenced important artists such as Paradise Lost, Entombed and Cathedral. During 2016 and 2017, the band's original members got together and recorded 10 new songs (47 min) in the spirit of their debut Necrospirituals. The songs were recorded and mixed at studio Juicy Halftone in Copenhagen by Henrik Stendahl. The band are also planning to do a reunion tour in the autumn of 2017. On their new album Nocturnals, the band has refined their sound and style even more but old fans will still recognize the original essence of Stillborn. The lyrics are still sinister and eerie with a subtle twist. The music is loud, sturdy, dark and heavy as a monolithic stone. Since the band announced that they will play again and giving hints that they will a new record, they have received a very positive response. Many fans have contacted them to tell how excited they are. Album Tracks 1. 1917 2. Dresden 3. Oblivion Reloaded 4. The Animal Within 5. They Forgive Nothing 6. Lorelei 7. Maaemo 8. Fata Morgana 9.
