H.E.R.R. - 'Fire And Glass: A Norwood Tragedy' MCD (Cold Spring CSR74EP)
This brilliant new four-track EP from the Anglo-Dutch masters of Neoclassical music relates to the incredible story of the Crystal Palace, an architectural jewel in the heart of Victorian London and itself a tragic metaphor for the rise and fall of the British Empire. Welcome to the Pleasuredome!
H.E.R.R. - 'Vondel's Lucifer - First Movement' CD (Cold Spring CSR69CD)
Taken from the Dutch playwright's 17th century opus, 'Lucifer', this release tells of heavenly discontent amid a jealous tale of angelic rebellion in the face of God's love for humankind. Containing half-sung and spoken vocals, a gentle folk-like melody, baroque composition and rich musical arrangements, this album introduces the first three acts in 75 bombastic minutes. Guest appearances from members of Ostara, While Angels Watch, Belborn and Sagittarius.
H.E.R.R. - 'XII Caesars' CD (Cold Spring CSR117CD)
Based on Suetonius' De Vita Caesarum (121 AD), this wonderful new album deals with the notorious lives of a dozen Roman emperors and leads you on a gripping musical adventure through the greed, cruelty, fratricide and excess, which characterised their incomparable lust for power. But this is no run-of-the-mill exercise in historical sycophancy... H.E.R.R. retell the lives of the Emperors with honesty, drama and humour. This release - complete with the compositional and vocal hallmarks for which the group is so widely renowned - is set to become a true classic of the genre. Comes with an elegant 16-page booklet!
MANIA - 'Armed To The Teeth' CD (Troniks / PACrec)
Mania is Texan Keith Brewer (Taint, Sonic Sadist etc). Mania seems to be almost wholly focused on distilling violence, warfare, murder, and, more than anything else, the brutal power of firearms into blasts of twisted, ultraviolent Power Electronics. The sound isn't all that far removed from Taint, but on "Armed To The Teeth", Brewer lays a 35 minute track of scorching distortion, clanging metal percussion, harsh vocals that are treated with an overload of psychedelic effects and screeching, punishing waves of feedback that is then cut with interludes of recordings captured from weapons training presentations, shootings, and firing ranges. It's a weird mix of sounds, but if you've got a rotten tooth for this kind of grating speaker perversion, Mania brings it really harsh. File this next to TEF, The Rita, MSBR, Cherry Point, Macronympha, etc. Card sleeve.
SAGITTARIUS - 'Songs From The Ivory Tower' CD (Cold Spring CSR89CD)
"Songs from the Ivory Tower" contains 15 pieces of dark Neoclassical music and is mainly based on poems by Stefan George, Bernhard von Uxkull-Gyllenband, Gottfried Benn, Ludwig Uhland and Timo Kolling, plus a number of instrumental and Neofolk pieces. Featuring guest contributions by Marcel P. (Von Thronstahl), Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben), Damiano Mercuri (Rose Rovine E Amanti), Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R. / Seelenlicht) and Philipp Jonas (Secrets Of The Moon).
SAGITTARIUS - 'The Kingdom Come' CD (Cold Spring CSR152CD)
Recorded between 2008 and 2011 and influenced by the intellectual world of the German poet Stefan George, "The Kingdom Come" contains 18 songs with a playing time of 65 minutes. With Sagittarius now grown to a full four piece line-up featuring new members Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben) on vocals and Theresia W. on oboe, and once again assisted by a number of highly gifted guest musicians, including sG (Secrets Of The Moon), Dev (While Angels Watch) and Josef K. (Von Thronstahl), Sagittarius has managed to conceive a unique and outstanding album in the tradition of the classic European Art Song, blending sophisticated neoclassical compositions with a touch of suicidal folk noir.
SEELENLICHT - 'Gods & Devils' CD (Cold Spring CSR86CD)
This stunning debut release from a project of Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Butow Maler (Kammer Sieben) contains 14 darkly satirical compositions that strip bare the mechanism of human nature and the madness of the contemporary world. Comprised of Gothic murder ballads, electronic, folk and neoclassical elements, this album is brimming with originality, enthusiasm and creativity. Guests: Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben), Maria Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Eustacia Vye (Horologium). Digipak with booklet.
Seven 'rooms' described through the visual essence of sober and linear photographic black and white images, and through sonorities based on whispered and discrete synthesis, often bordering on silence, violated by occasional harshness, chimes of plucked strings, hissings, cracklings, electrical tensions, gurgles and digital creaks. An intimate and introspective path, through long and deserted corridors, entering spacious and bright rooms surrounded by white large walls, walking on reflective polished floors, cold and aseptic just like the sounds that Gianluca Favaron and Stefano Gentile chose to fill with vibrations of their spaces and architectural forms. Ltd x 300 hand-numbered copies in an outsize 6-panel sleeve, including a unique slide with each copy.
