Voidescent - Dust And Embers - VINYL LP

Emerging with a labyrinthine work of creativity constructed with an intensity both unrelenting and precise, Voidceremony return with their signature sound, an abstract and scathing zone of musical obscurity rife with cynicism toward humanity. Abditum, the third full length album, unfurls with a sense of arcane design where twisting riffs clash and converge in unforeseen sequences. Composed by Wandering Mind (aka Garrett Johnson) the otherworldly riffing spirals into altered shapes, conjuring tones that veer between luminous clarity and abyssal murk. Joined in the darkness by guitarist The Archonoclast (Jayson McGehee), Dylan Marks on drums and bass co-conspirators The Great Righteous Destroyer (Damon Good) and The Absent Deity (Ben Ricci), in tandem they create a cacophony of hellish jazz-inflected discord and unpredictable texture; every composition a descent into shifting caverns, where sudden openings reveal hidden pathways only to close again with finality.Existing within an unawakened mind, contemplate a journey through the landscapes of Abditum, a region replete with the harmonies of the spheres and ever evolving chaos. These elements create a world that is alien yet meticulously considered. Voidceremony once again resists easy grasp, demands immersion and rewards repeated exploration, materializing new contours perpetually. Album Tracks 1. Intro - Inevitable Entropy 2. Veracious Duality 3. Seventh Ephemeral Aura 4. Dissolution 5. Despair of Temporal Existence 6. Failure of Ancient Wisdoms 7. Silence Which Ceases All Minds 8. Gnosis of Ambivalence 9. Outro - Elegy of Finality

With InchThe Fall Of All ThingsInch the Doom veterans Dust from Bielefeld hit us with their fourth album and tear everything down without any compromises. Their ultra-heavy mixture of doom, metal, sludge and rock with lots of corners and edges wafts out of the speakers in the form of five overlong songs. The production captures the irrepressible energy and the earthy sound of the foursome gives the listener a pasting with the power of a live show so vehemently, that you're immediately up for a secret basement show where the plaster crumbles from the ceiling. This bastard from Sludge and Stoner rolls angrily over you and announces the end of all being. Even after 20 years Dust are a guarantor for infinite heavyness, downright the epitome of heavyness. The vinyl version of the album is correspondingly heavy, with special details such as bronze foil printing on the thick cardboard cover, the 180g vinyl completes the package. Album Tracks 1. Shattered Existence 2. Cloak of Silence 3. Undying Ember 4. To Bear Misery 5. The Fall of All Things

*ON LIMITED VIOLET W/ BLACK SPLATTER VINYL!!! Upon the of the first full length album Entropic Reflections Continuum Dimensional Unravel it was instantly revealed that VoidCeremony were treading a path few walk. The album proved that death metal can be performed with the gliding, controlled chaos and smooth fluidity of a jazz quartet, while still leaving the listener holed up in a dungeon, low on HP, out of spells, and surrounded by deadly demons.Threads Of Unknowing is a journey which resurrects concepts on earlier display and summons evermore progressive and technical compositions. Mastermind and guitarist / vocalist Garrett Johnson and guitar virtuoso Phil Tougas (Atramentus, Chthe'ilist, Worm, First Fragment) share both vocals and lead guitar duties here, while bass god Damon Good weaves both fretted and fretless bass mastery and drummer Charlie Koryn encompasses not only speed and brutality, but a fine mix of precision and improvisation from jazz fusion. The end result is VoidCeremony and their signature sound time-melting death black fusion. With an apt cover painting representing the lyrical and philosophical vision of an ancient and forgotten future, VoidCeremony itself seems to be operating on an alternate death metal timeline that once made itself known, but only briefly, and was soon left behind for more commercial appeal. Yet the portal has been re-opened and the merging of these boundless possibilities and directions are now being brought forth directly once again.
