Ended - Into The Nothing - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Precision and prog metal the two go hand in hand - especially in Switzerland, home to clockworks and quality craftsmanship.True to that national spirit, Appearance Of Nothing are stepping right into the tradition of outstanding and unique metal, Made In Switzerland (ever heard of Coroner, Eluveitie, or perhaps Celtic Frost?).

They can, however, announce some explosive details already the record has been recorded and produced with none other than the undisputed queen of Swiss metal, Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie) at Soundfarm Studios, has been mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Leprous, Symphony X & more), and fe

Portland, OR solo-outfit Mizmor will a highly-anticipated and massive offering titled, Wit's End on January 14, 2022 via Gilead Media. Following Mizmor's critically acclaimed 2019 full-length, Cairn, which received high praise from the likes of NPR, Metal Hammer, Decibel Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, AV Club, and so many more, Wit's End shows raw power flowing seamlessly through songwriting mastery. Merging pitch-black doom laced with hauntingly emotive and ambient sentiments, glacial yet undulating soundscapes, and personal confessions of lost faith and the disenchantment of modern society, Mizmor has created sonic compositions condemned with passages of shadowed, existential dread. Wit's End will be released in deluxe which includes an exclusive DVD featuring a brilliantly hand-drawn and animated music video by Zev Deans for the track InchWit's EndInch. The video originally premiered as an exclusive feature in the Spring of 2021 as part of Roadburn Redux.1. Wit's End2. Pareidolia Album Tracks 1. Wit's End 2. Pareidolia
