DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED - 'Vanitas Vanitatum' CD (Twilight Records)
Re-release of "Vanitas Vanitatum", originally issued on Aube Et Crépuscule (2007, Ltd x 99). Six songs of decadent and gloomy atmospheres, now with three exclusive new versions of songs originally featured on “The Hikimori songs” 10". The revered French project Dawn & Dusk Entwined follows its uncompromising path of heavily atmospheric and dynamic soundscapes, mixing cinematic dark ambience with forceful, at times martial, rhythms, neofolk nuances and strong orchestration, carefully avoiding the clichés of all those styles. In an era where man was placed at the center of creation, vanities paintings in the 16-17th century were meant to recall him his mortal fate and greater values, God at the time, than human pretension, consumerism, cheap entertainment... Maybe now it's questioning time again? Digipak.

Skillfully filmed and tastefully produced by a professional German TV- and multimedia company! Comes in a luxury 6-panel DVD digipak with 8-page booklet.

LULL - 'Continue' CD (Release Entertainment)
A cavernous soundscape composed of spacious drifts and dense, rumbling drones. This is the fourth full-length from Mick Harris under the Lull moniker. "Consisting of a one-hour-long track that unfolds excruciatingly slowly, Continue could be the soundtrack for a '90s version of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was equally unnerving for its vast expanses of nothingness. Where Scorn can be the horrific equivalent of a musical Freddy Krueger - getting in your face to tell you how badly he's gonna mess you up - Lull's approach is more subtle and seductive, soothing your nerves before slitting your throat while you sleep" (All Music Guide). Hypnotic journeys into the abyss.
