ORTHODOXY RELEASE "ATER IGNIS"

PRESS RELEASE:

Ater Ignis

by ORTHODOXY

Tracklist:

1.Enter the Netherworld

2.Into Primigenian Darkness

3.Victory Beyond Death

4.Banished from My Glance 06:06

5.Masked Beast

6.Where Shadows Move Unseen

7.Ater Ignis (Covenant of Death)

It was but 2019 when Orthodoxy made their full-length debut for The Sinister Flame with Novus Lux Dominus. With members hailing from Domains, also part of The Sinister Flame's very selective cabal, it was perhaps unsurprising that Orthodoxy emerged with such impact and immediacy. Although salacious, supernatural slime had been brewing with the band's 2015 demo - and the Spaniards had formed sometime during the past decade - Novus Lux Dominus was a magickal experience: all-caps DEATH METAL, pure and proud, but with sights solely focused on the Beyond. Its incredibly dark and sinister delights were hailed far and wide.

Now Orthodoxy dive deeper into the bowels of the Beyond with their second album, Ater Ignis. Thankfully, no great changes have been made - their execution's still utterly gutted, muscularity in hideous alignment with atmosphere, and production sympathetic to both - but there's a pronounced lurking dread here. For one, the seven-song/45-minute album suggests more epic constructions, and twistingly epic songwriting one will find here in Ater Ignis' abyss. That that songwriting seems to slither and twisted in vulgar ways renders Orthodoxy's Metal of Death all the more unique when stacked against nowadays' glut of "caverncore." For another, while their attack still maintains a straightforward sensibility, there's equally a sense of the ceremonial here - of eldritch blood rites, celestial sadism, the taboo made flesh. The crisp production once again heightens Orthodoxy's subtly keen execution, with the occasional appearance of haunting leads further making Ater Ignis an otherworldly experience.

As founding multi-instrumentalist NTN cryptically concludes, "Devoted to constant transformation, under our prism and sole dictate, a phantasmagoric embrace blooms in Ater Ignis. An occult manifestation, as dynamic as relentless, a solid and ruthless force of gnarly Sinister Death Metal."

CELESTIAL GRAVE RELEASE "VITRIOLIC ATONEMENT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Vitriolic Atonement

by CELESTIAL GRAVE

Tracklist:

1.Eucharist

2.Cadaverous Solace

3.Clemency

4.The Abyss Exhales

5.Exaltation

6.Radiant Tides Below

Since their public unveiling in 2016 with the hideous & haunting Burial Ground Trance demo, Finland’s Celestial Grave have been steadily perfecting a craft that already arrived fully formed. While the band’s brand of black metal does bear some semblance to certain sectors of their native land’s long-running and -esteemed scene, Celestial Grave largely unshackle themselves from “Finnish black metal” and locate a muse that’s uniquely focused and fiercely personal. Such was the case with the epic four-song Secular Flesh debut album in 2019, and now, three years later, that case is even stronger with their second album, Vitriolic Atonement.

“Vitriolic Atonement is a sonic and visual exploration of the dreadful yet beautiful aspects of life and death,” they begin. “It was a comprehensive work for us, where not only the music and lyrics but also the artwork were really central from the start.”

Indeed, lose thyself in the hypnotic layers of that cover art and you’ll begin to understand the experience that awaits within Vitriolic Atonement. In a most disarming fashion, Celestial Grave here sound both bolder and more brittle – robust lead lines painting melancholy and might in equal measure, the execution seemingly more scattered and strident, the songwriting tending toward the anthemic yet upended by haunting twists of texture – whilst not losing that mesmerizing personality that made its predecessors so compelling. As such, Vitriolic Atonement is a full-album experience that’s paradoxically more approachable and more alien: allow that wounded melodicism into your soul, all enticingly come-hither, and then witness the swirlingly obsidian rot spread.

“Vitriolic Atonement goes through different sacraments and rites,” they conclude. “Inhale and take in the aspects of darkness, death, and the beyond that are in reach on this mortal plane. Give in, admire its beauty, and come to terms with it. Prepare for the inevitable, because the beyond will be something no mind nor soul can fully comprehend.”

EBORAS RELEASE "AND THEN THERE WERE NONE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

And Then There Were None

by Eboras

Tracklist:

1.Intro (And Then There Were None) 02:01

2.The Oak (of Viriathus) 03:21

3.Água Sobe e Água Desce (Música Popular Alentejana) 00:51

4.The Mount (Moda do Entrudo) 02:31

5.The Wolf (of Sertorius) 03:36

6.Borders (Kalandra Cover) (free) 03:26

Eboras is old Celtic for yew tree. The city of Évora (Alentejo, Portugal) once was called Ebora by the celtici (Celtic tribe that coexisted with the Lusitanians in the same period) that lived in that area. It was known by the romans as Eborae Cerialis and after they conquered it, Liberalitas Julia. Eboras is my will to keep our celtici origins alive.

"And Then There Were None" tells the story of two great heroes from the lusitanian lore. One is a lusitanian shepherd that became king, the other is a roman general that fell in love with Lusitania and its people.

released September 16, 2022

João Nova Silva - All instruments and vocals

João Ruivo - Guest guitar in track 5 - The Wolf (of Sertorius)

Sérgio Ramos - Guest vocals in track 4 - The Mount (Moda do Entrudo)

Mixed and Mastered by João Ruivo

As Eboras says:

I want to thank all those that lost a little of their time to help me. To my friends and family for the patience. To Sérgio, aka the Arghbeast, that lend me his voice on the track "The Mount" and also for promoting this project,

João Ruivo for his talent on the guitar and on producing these tracks, Carlos Silva (my brother) that will release the video clip and finally, last but definitely not the least to my eldest daughter...yeah, she sings in the "Água Sobe e Água Desce" track (one of her favorite songs) and she is the narrator on the intro.

PS - Ruivo and Sérgio are my brothers in arms on the best band I have ever played. Godofe Keios is that band...so, thanks to all members of the GoK familly (Molefas, Jô, Daniel, Kontra, Pika, Rato), one way or the other you also helped me.

GORESTINE RELEASE "WHERE ALL RIVERS MERGE I"

PRESS RELEASE:

Where All Rivers Merge I

by Gorestine

Tracklist:

1.Escaping Into The Cold Of The Night I

2.A Mournful But Fitting End 09:40

3.Caledonian Forest

4.Scorched Skies 07:40

5.The Will To Fight

6.Heresy Gate

7.Gore

Where All Rivers Merge takes on a dark philosophy of where all paths lead, whether natural, spiritual or a worriers path, all end and all essence converges to a great surging river over time. A place where all paths lead through the gates of death or greater.

The lengthy, fickle recording and mixing for this album has lead to some jarring changes in sound through it's many tracks but the themes of life, nature and many fantastical dark stories reigns true it it's walls of sound.

Some tracks were recorded, written or even mixed years apart. Though my recording styles and habits have changed over time, along with the gear I use, I still wanted to keep the same vision I had years ago and style consistency. But at last it is finally released to the world.

This is the first part of this twin concept album release of raging raw atmospheric black metal and peaceful fantasy/medieval style ethereal ambience, the second part will be released hopefully some time next year or later.
