IONOSPHERE / LAND:FIRE - 'Of Mind And Of Abyss' 12" (Power & Steel / Loki Foundation)
After their well received full length works released via Tesco and Loki both German units now dig deeper into their cosmos of sound with this split EP. A brilliant slice of sonicscape-ambient, like a thick black stream of plasma crawling from places we are not yet ready to go. Places where thoughts and desires, fears and pain manifest in reality. Majestic waves of droning sound and pulsations overlayed by whispering vocal samples, cavernous resonances and dark analogue machine noises. A deep shivering cosmic ambient work beyond the edge of the imaginable. Limited edition of 475 copies.
The debut release from the Herbst9 project! Massive drones and sinister melodies rise out from the inside of a dark and bleak ground while crushing rhythms and unreal vocal shreds echoing through a wide spectrum of sounds and effects. The perfect sound journey through devastated landscapes. Ltd x 750 copies.
Coming back with an all new album after more than 5 years the alter ego of Herbst9 delivers another outstanding soundtrack about radiological warfare and it's debris during the last century. SWT is like a massive energy spike with a surrounding maelstrom of machine noises, rhythms, interferences and electromagnetic waves. The complex arrangement of technical sounds creates a deadly atmosphere of fallout and devastated landscapes with an apocalyptic aura reflected by dissonant harmonies and deep shimmering ambient scapes. Presented in a 6 panel digipak. Mastered by Andreas Wahnmann (First Law).
