Body & Dis Fig - Orchards Of A Futile Heaven - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A CELESTIAL SYMPHONIC CACOPHONY OF SUPER NOVA PROPORTIONS!Enter the dark celestial halls of the Mephistos, where the Archon reign supreme! Hæresiarchs Of Dis pushes the boundaries and conceptions of modern extreme metal by arranging soundscapes and atmospheres with overflowing occult passages, acoustic intervals, ghostly & cavernous interludes, funeral organ and cello amongst other instruments, and choral vocals. Well placed atmospheric segments provide an ambiance that many struggle (or fail) to achieve, as Hæresiarchs Of Dis easily engages the listener with complex multilayered, multidimensional compositions and concepts. Following 2 successful self-produced albums HoD signed with Moribund in 2010 and embarked on a tetralogy comprising a proclamation of ash with InchDenuntiatus CinisInch (2010), supplicating InchIn Obsecration Of The Seven DarksInch (2010) and reciting the InchThirty-Eighth Sermon Of The UnbornInch (2013) with the closing chapter arriving in InchAdumbratusInch. A precursor to InchAdumbratusInch was also summoned with InchTria Prima DiabolicaInch, a special enhanced MCD (2016) which also featured 3 stunning videos and an ode to the legendary Mercyful Fate. InchAdumbratusInch is the 6th full-length opus from Cernunnos of the Seven Darks, sinister savant and sole orchestrator in Hæresiarchs Of Dis. Vicious and chaotic at times, harmonic and free-flowing at others, InchAdumbratusInch relays an advanced concept through symphonic black metal mastery and esoteric celestial prose. With this well anticipated , Hæresiarchs Of Dis offers an unparalleled advance into the Adversary's domain and a glimpse into his coronation upon the heat death of the cosmos! Cernunnos declares listeners will InchPostulate on Terminus Creation and the Satanic Cosmological ConstantInch!The US response to EMPEROR and ARCTURUS - Epic, Complex & Orchestral US Black Metal!

When talking about progressive / death metal, then DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA from Austria must not go unmentioned. With InchNot to be Undimensionally ConsciousInch, the band broke new, more avant-garde ground in 1992, without letting their death metal roots be forgotten. The individual songs of the album are characterised by a craziness rarely experienced in this form, but without neglecting the overall concept. With this masterpiece, Disharmonic Orchestra succeeded in combining avant-garde, progressive elements with death metal from the band's early phase. This milestone, which has long been out of print and is highly regarded in the scene, is now being re-released for the first time in a high-quality digipak on Metalville Records.

Pi-hsien Chen was born in Taiwan and grew up in Germany where she still lives. Among contemporary pianists she is one of the few who are really selfless for more than half a century she serves the good cause with full devotion, and without prejudices - Bach, the masters of the Viennese Classical School, the romantic heritage, or modern and contemporary music. She has become the latter's prophetic pronounciator with her authoritative interpretations of the piano works by Stockhausen and Boulez, as well as Cage and beyond. But Schubert is - as the new edition of his 'grandes sonates' proves - her 'heart music'. This bold enterprise on three albums presents those sonatas (D 568, 845, 850, 894) together that demonstrate groundbreaking progressiveness and were explicitly intended as 'grandes sonates' and published under that title. Chen underlines Schubert's emancipation from Beethoven as well as his dialogue with the titan in a manner that is discreet and sharp at the same time and herewith leads the listener into Schubert's innermost tonal language that transcends everything and articulates it's own world of real music of the future. To reveal this process until it's climax, Mrs. Chen adds two of the three 'legacy works' that Schubert wrote a few weeks before he died the sonatas in C minor (D 958) and in A (D 959) with their utmost dialectic tension who built the peak of the iceberg 'future'.... Chen leaves us without this most popular last sonata in B-flat (D 960) that conceals the abysses in enchanting beauty. She leaves us amidst the process, looking openly toward the unknown. In this interpretation Schubert's mediating function between yesterday and tomorrow becomes unmistakable in it's tragedy and greatness.
