Vale of Pnath - The Prodigal Empire - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A versatile Mass setting for use throughout the liturgical year, Mass of the Sun of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia is fully bilingual, singable entirely in English or in Spanish, or any pastoral combination of both languages. At it's core, this setting is built on assembly-minded melodies. Much of the choral writing is two-part, albeit spelled out in four voices, whereby the basses frequently double the soprano melody, and the alto and tenor lines essentially share a single harmony in their respective ranges, splitting only at cadence points for a fuller effect. Optional descants and divisi further expand the voicing possibilities. The additional instrumentation is particularly spirited, further enhancing these sung texts for solemn occasions. InchSun of justiceInch is a term used to reference Christ with respect to his second coming, as found in the ancient InchOInch antiphons. This title appears in the Lectionary among the Alleluia options for the common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is, in fact, assigned to the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, celebrated within the Advent season. As such, the music is InchAdvent-likeInch in nature, joyful and filled with hope.

2019 . The band's second EP following two acclaimed full-lengths (2011's The Prodigal Empire and 2016's II), Accursed is fueled with Tech Death adrenaline and shrouded in black metal's iniquitous aura. The picture painted is a bleak one, the intensity unleashed nothing short of devastating to the nervous system and traumatic to the psyche.

Vale Of Pnath - InchBetween The Worlds Of Life And DeathInch / Between The Worlds Of Life And Death is an album that continues what Vale of Pnath started with their last EP, Accursed. Blending more black metal and atmosphere into their classic tech death approach, it captures the band's core sound, but also brings a new, bold take on this brand of metal, resulting in the most approachable album the band has made to date that will suck fans in immediately.
