CELESTIIAL / BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL - 'Celestiial / Blood Of The Black Owl' LP (Bindrune Recordings)
This conceptual and artistically groundbreaking union of like minded musicians is a rare find in this day and age, but Blood of the Black Owl And Celestiial have again assembled beneath the Bindrune banner to explore the very core of their being through ritualistic transcendence. While embracing metal as a loose framework, both artists shed the confines of "tradition" to step into the ever expansive world of atmosphere. Be it the Shamanic union with the spirit world and nature through the hypnotic rituals of Blood of the Black Owl, or the woodland explorations of Celestiial by way of environmental soundscapes and a moss laden drone, this split LP is unlike anything you have yet heard. Both bands are reinventing the way that you experience and "feel" music from the void far beyond... Ltd x 500 copies with insert. ACT FAST!

FLEGETHON - 'Behind A Side Of Times' CD (Satanarsa Records)
One of quite a few albums from this prolific Russian band, whose compelling funeral doom edges close to dark ambient and black metal at times. "Flegethon draws deep into the melodic asceticism specific to the genre it stands for and yet, when its music gets corrupted by some evil sounds, industrial stutterings, subterranean creakings, harsh blows and even ethereal female choirs (a burst of light in the dark magma), well, damn!... Flegethon paints the extreme desolation, the edge of the world" (Doom-Metal.com). File next to Until Death Overtakes Me, Beyond Black Void, Celestiial and Nortt. Finished with a nice slipcase.
