Mosaic Window - Hemasanctum - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

VNV Nation - Construct [VINYL LP] Colored Vinyl, White date 07/25/2025

Deluxe hardcover CD edition. An homage to Winter in conception, an explosion of expressions in perception, Old Man's Wyntar is an astonishing masterpiece of soundscaping. It's highly complex structure takes the listener onto a many-faceted journey into the deepest realms of ice, snow and darkness. With a unique mix of Black Metal, Avant-garde, Neo-folk, ambient, Neue Deutsche Todeskunst and many other elements and influences, it lures the mind and beckons to venture beyond the borders of it's usual conversance. The course of the EP is shapeshifting between incantation, melancholy, desperation, fierce bitterness, harsh coldness and enticing tranquility. It's frostbitten, sharp sound entwines and channels the lyrical concept and musical fabric in towering manner toward the ecstasy of white, hostile solitude. Old Man's Wyntar's grave repercussions echo forth a long time after it's last note has died away; it's hard-to-grab multidimensionality and eerie temptation inflict succumbing to revisitating the ephemeral spheres this record conjures. This very special, extended version finally turns the EP into the treat of a Full-Length. Enhanced with an additional chapter, the total playing time advanced to an incredible 74 minutes of allurement that will see the last unfrozen souls enchanted. Complete with a thick A5 book, reworked and extended artwork and booklet, as well as full English translations of all lyrics for the first time ever.

Mizmor, is a one-man heavy music exploration that began in 2012 as a way of dealing with the mental and spiritual anguish mastermind A.L.N. feels as a person. More specifically, the content behind the project is that of the existential / primal and innate musings about cause, purpose, and self. It is the search for light and truth, or the fact that there is none. It comes from an embittered, burned, confused, and broken heart. It is the fight for survival when reason and foundation has turned to nothingness. It is the crashing down of towers of falsehood and the freedom that comes through a certain kind of grief. Ultimately, Mizmor is the manifestation of a long-felt depression which doesn't have an end in sight.In A.L.N.'s own words behind the new Mizmor album Prosaic InchThe idea behind Prosaic was to make an intentionally less conceptual, more slice-of-life record. I wanted to make an album that was less precious and obsessed-over, more honest and real; less grandiose and more human. I found it an interesting challenge to find the line between 'you can do better' and 'you're beating a dead horse.' I tried to make my process more efficient and even fun at times. I simply wanted to share, but if that meant exacting all-out perfectionism, I wasn't going to make a record. Right now I'm interested in making less self-indulgent music. The themes are the absurdity / futility / purpose / meaning of work, mindfulness / consciousness / living in the present moment / shedding illusions, depression / acceptance / contentment. This is the first Mizmor album without any content relating to god / atheism. You also won't hear any shrieks.Inch
