2012 debut album from the Brooklyn-based Metal band. Formed in the late '00s, Occultation released the limited Somber Dawn EP in 2011, which showcased their bizarre brand of creepy and haunting Psych Horror Metal. But Occultation has morphed into a beast in it's own right. Along with weird and unearthly guitar play, the trio conjures ethereal and ghostly female vocals, dirge-like organ sounds, pulsating bass lines and ritualistic drum rhythms. The band takes it's cues from '70's Prog, '80's Dark Rock, classic Metal (most notably early Mercyful Fate and Death SS) and Cult horror soundtracks. Three & Seven is a haunting, creepy and unrelenting venture into a cathedral of sonic horror.

Eastwood Symphonic is a tribute from Kyle Eastwood to his father Clint Eastwood. It takes the form of a contemporary musical walk into the heart of the legendary actor-director's extraordinary career. As a young man, Kyle Eastwood appeared in a few films made by his father, but what has united them above all else is their mutual passion for music. It is precisely that passion, so dear to Clint and such an everyday part of Kyle's life today, which has bound their relationship so closely over the years. As bassist and frontman of a sparkling jazz quintet, he has already released one album, 2009's Cinematic, that takes up themes written for the silver screen. For Eastwood Symphonic, which fully embraces some of the music that has figured so prominently in his father's films, Kyle has chosen to have his quintet join by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra (CNSO) led by Grammy Award-winning conductor, Gast Waltzing. This family collaboration is a unique album that comes alongside a film produced by Arte.
