AD OMBRA - 'Magna Charta Illusorum' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Ad Ombra returns with a distinguished opus, this time reaching the heights of malignant Drama, in a suite of 12 tracks of majestic excess and voluptuously carven diversity. Elegant and compelling orchestral densities full of sophisticated charm, profound recesses, heart wretching scents of tragedy, viciously intense sopranos effusions, all morphed into a dynamic and ingenious set of cinematic impulses. Ultimately emotional dramatic art with an excellent production, not to be missed by the admirers of modern classical masters, industrial, dark ambient, opera / ethereal voices, Elend, Devil Doll or The Protagonist. 6-panel digipak.

Stanciulescu. A spiral of emotions, thoughts, opalescent visions, essential recurrences, for Creation's shrine that stands as a living mirror where everyone can reflect the(m)selves.

WOLFSKIN - 'O Ajuntar Das Sombras' CD (Malignant Records)
Originally intended to be a re-issue of Wolfskin's 2001 limited release "The Gather of Shadows by the Setting Sun" (Ajna), this eventually evolved into a re-working of three tracks from that release, complimented by 7 newly recorded tracks. As the Wolfskin era comes to end, this release represents a glimpse into their past… a more organic, flowing ambient record than what you may find today. That being said, it most certainly will go down as one of their more stunning, darker visions; a masterpiece of shadowy atmospheres and drifting currents, featuring multiple layers of archaic sounds, nebulous textures and ritual invocations, perfectly combined to form a release of intense depth and complexity.
