Spectral Voice - SPECTRAL VOICE / UNDERGANG - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Spectral Voice's Sparagmos unfolds as a momentous second full-length offering under the banner of Dark Descent Records, marking the culmination of a period devoted to katabatic immersion into the material. The title itself, alluding to the Dionysian rite of being torn limb from limb, sets the stage for a profound exploration of life, death, and the untamed essence within.InchThe content of the album oscillates between lamentation and exaltation. An immersive, morbid atmosphere of funereality longs for the liberation of death and mourns the agony of life. Coupled with moments of frenetic madness, grandeur, terror and ecstasy, the point we are trying to get to is the moment in which-through sacrifice-atavistic wildness is unleashed, and the ultimate exaltation of life through death is realized,Inch reflects drummer /vocalist E. Wendler. Influences drawn from the esoteric realms of death, black, doom metal, dark ambient, and arcane literature converge to shape Spectral Voice's most realized manifestation. Featuring the sonic prowess of M. Kolontyrsky (guitar), P. Riedl (guitar), and J. Barrett (bass)-also of Blood Incantation fame-alongside the drummer / vocalist E. Wendler, Spectral Voice weave a sonic tapestry with a level of excellence that surpasses even their own formidable standards. Sparagmos unquestionably stands as a definitive death metal highlight of 2024.

Doris Day - Early Day-Rare Songs from the Radio 1939-1950 - Wanna know'and wanna hear'how Doris Day became one of the biggest multimedia stars on the planet? This 24-track collection carefully culls Doris' finest and rarest performances from over a decade of appearances on the radio, where her star first really began to shine. First, we begin with a 1944 rendition of one of her signature songs, 'Sentimental Journey,' with the big band that really vaulted her into the stratosphere, The Les Brown Orchestra. Then we double back all the way to her very first radio performances with local Cincinnati bandleader Barney Rapp, who was the man who urged Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff to change her name to Doris Day. After that, we're off and running with more mid-'40s appearances with Les Brown, 1950 duets on The Bob Hope Show with Bob ('Sunshine Cake') and Jimmy Wakely ('Slippin' Around'), and a lot more songs from The Bob Hope Show that reunited Doris with Les Brown, who served as the show's musical director. We've found period pictures galore for the package'which, by the way, was put together with the full knowledge and consent of the late, great lady herself'and have commissioned liner notes by Joe Marchese that chart the steep trajectory of Doris Day's career through these radio recordings. Remastered, like our other Doris Day rarities collections, by Mike Milchner at SonicVision'a perfect way to celebrate the Doris Day centennial!

Chicago's Warforged is looking to carve out their own spot within the world of progressive death metal.Through the years, the band has developed an underground hype within their niche, opening up for national and international legends THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DYING FETUS, THE FACELESS, DECAPITATED, HATE ETERNAL, NE OBLIVISCARIS, BEYOND CREATION, AND DECREPIT BIRTH, among many others.The quintet made waves in 2014 with their first Essence Of The Land - a 14 - minute, four song ghost story through the swamps of old time America - and again in 2015 with their eight minute single Two Demons. The releases laid the foundation for the band's songwriting ethos and concepts horrifying & beautiful, dynamic & aggressive, harmony found through dissonance, an ebb and flow through drama and resolution, a flirtation with memory, a call for collaboration, personality and reality - immense emotional energy seamlessly woven within the death metal genre.Warforged works to put out deep, powerful music and visual content in hopes of pushing the genre forward and providing inspiration for the next generation of metal musicians & songwriters.
