Bell Witch / Aerial Ruin - Stygian Bough Volume I - VINYL LP

On Stygian Bough Volume II, the collaboration between Bell Witch (Dylan Desmond, Jesse Shreibman) and Aerial Ruin (Erik Moggridge) enlivens it's unbodied presence resembling both collaborating projects as a conduit in it's own separate entity. In the course of an hour, four musical pieces set themselves apart from the catalogs of both individual bands and branch into new territory all the while threaded to the original encounter. Over the album a cyclical world unfolds in which different perspectives of how various forms of worship empower, eclipse, destroy and feed on each other is explored.InchWaves Became The Sky,Inch the opening track on Volume II, recalls InchRows (Of Endless Waves)Inch from Bell Witch's debut album Longing. It was here that Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin had initial contact, while InchKing Of The Wood,Inch quickly lurks into an abyss death-doom fans of Thergothon and My Dying Bride will find familiarity in. Track three, InchFrom Dominion,Inch opens to the power trio resembling the elements of Aerial Ruin's dark folk temperaments. With a voice one can imagine emerging from some forgotten dimension in ancient Albion, Moggridge pulls thread as much enchantment as song. InchThe Told And The Leadened,Inch the album's closer and longest track clocking in at just over nineteen minutes, is about the cycles of power and how they eclipse and prop each other up.The result is a commanding four songs steeped in mysticism, legend, and the examination of the connective threads that shape and influence the culture, mythology, and customs of all human societies throughout time in unique, localized ways.

*BACK IN PRINT!!! Note new price. Bell Witch's Mirror Reaper is one of the best metal albums of 2017. A single monolithic track, it pays tribute to the band's former drummer Adrian Guerra, who tragically passed away in 2016. The band initially made their presence known in the US doom scene with a well-received demo in 2011. At thirty-seven minutes, this recording is a massive statement of purpose which far-eclipsed the InchdemoInch status implied by it's name. It was recorded by Brandon Fitzsimons (Wormwood), the same engineer behind the band's first effort, Longing. Demo 2011 showcases Bell Witch's heavy-yet-minimalist sound now lauded as timeless, relevant and undeniably sorrowful. The Flenser is proud to unleash this new pressing of a classic moment in contemporary US doom with artwork by the band's own Adrian Guerra (RIP).
