The Vision Bleak - Set Sail to Mystery - VINYL LP

Twisted Sister - Greatest Hits [VINYL LP] Clear Vinyl, Gold, Ltd Ed, Anniversary Ed date 01/30/2026

On their fourth studio album, The Vision Bleak are coming full circle. InchSet Sail To MysteryInch unites the driving Goth-rock energy of InchThe Deathship Has A New CaptainInch, the dramatic heaviness of their sophomore InchCarpathia - A Dramatic PoemInch, and the Nordic aggression of InchThe Wolves Go Hunt Their PreyInch. Lyrically, it is a journey into the realms of the supernatural and the abysses of the human mind, once more inspired by masters of weird fiction such as H. P. Lovecraft and E. A. Poe. This year will see The Vision Bleak return to the stage of Horror Metal - more ghoulish and more poetic than ever before. After they journeyed through the underworld on the rotten planks of a deathship in the year 2004 (on InchThe Deathship Has A New CaptainInch), befittingly travelled the calamitous Carpathians in a black carriage in 2005 (on InchCarpathia - A Dramatic PoemInch), and sorted with wolves in 2007 (on InchThe Wolves Go Hunt Their PreyInch), our necromancers Schwadorf and Konstanz are coming full circle in 2010. On InchSet Sail To MysteryInch, they once again set the tattered, ashen sails of the deathship and head towards midnight, death, and doom. Of course, the last few years have left their mark on the ferrymen. As if The Vision Bleak were leafing through the pages of a leather-bound tome on their history thus far, InchSet Sail To MysteryInch is cruising through many of the lethal waters they have sailed through in previous lifes the driving gothic-rock energy of their debut, the dramatic heaviness of their sophomore, and the Nordic aggression of the last album are resonating on this, their fourth opus, like the death-knell of a cemetery chapel. Yet, InchSet Sail To MysteryInch is much more than just the sum of it's predecessors. Proof for this is the foreboding introduction, InchA Curse Of The Grandest KindInch, where a magical invocation written by

A Horror-Metal concept album par excellence InchCarpathia - A Dramatic PoemInch, the second album by The Vision Bleak, is a unique dark musical drama where Konstanz and Schwadorf have exceeded themselves. Even though the Shadow Philharmonics - who already provided the majestic textures on InchThe Deathship Has A New CaptainInch - have been increased in size, it is Death Metal that rises erratically above all forceful, black riffs, heavyweight drums, full and many-facetted vocals... All this makes for a more homogenous and at the same time more complex overall picture than you would have expected after their debut. Each track is vibrantly brimming with sheer intensity and energy. InchCarpathiaInch is nothing less than a Horror-Metal concept album par excellence!
