At the foot of the mountains, through the night air you can hear tones of deep sorrow. The mountains echo melodies, proud and foreboding, strange, beautiful songs of war and peace, of blood and steel, songs about realms and tribes and mystical beings, who are long gone or never were and yet are alive. Enter the mountain gorge and a magical shiver floats away from the dark rocks and enchanted woods into the vastness of the night sky.

released January 6, 2024

Cover art by T. S. (based on Caspar David Friedrich's painting »Uttewalder Grund«).

OBSEQUIAE STREAMS NEW TRACK "IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT"

Minnesota´s medieval metal band Obsequiae has issue dthe following press statement: 

"OBSEQUIAE, Minnesota’s organic, medieval metal outfit, is preparing for the release of their sophomore LP, "Aria Of Vernal Tombs", through 20 Buck Spin later this month. While the anxiously awaited album is already reaping critical pre-release acclaim, the physical embodiments of the record has been very slightly delayed, so in response, the band and label have issued another new passage of glorious audio from the platter to the masses. American Aftermath has lent their assistance in issuing “In The Absence Of Light” through an exclusive premiere from OBSEQUIAE’s "Aria Of Vernal Tombs"." (check below)

"Aria Of Vernal Tombs" will see CD and digital release on May 26th, and the vinyl in July, both physical versions to be delivered in gorgeous, foil stamped packages, all via 20 Buck Spin.

"The sparse, sorrowful harp pieces appearing throughout Aria Of Vernal Tombs provide a foundation on which to base the longer metal-based sagas that form the album’s core. OBSEQUIAE’s black, death and traditional heavy metal influences seamlessly merge with medieval, Middle Ages music in baroque yet abrasive reverence, resulting in a remarkably original long-player. With a wet clarity to the incandescent production that cites underrated obscurities like Sacramentum’s Far Away From The Sun and Eucharist’s A Velvet Creation, along with the early works of Varathron, Samael and Rotting Christ, the atmosphere created on Aria Of Vernal Tombs brings to 2015 what such bands strangely but sincerely captured years ago. Every sound and shimmering tone is intentional and essential to this rite of Spring".

REVIEW: THE SOIL BLEEDS BLACK - THE KINGDOM AND ITS FEY

 

THE SOIL BLEEDS BLACK - THE KINGDOM AND ITS FEY (Cruel moon Recs., 1999)

Produced by The Soil Bleeds Black

Recorded in Dungeon

This is an album originally recorded in 1995 and 1996. The music has a certain medieval feeling but with played with modern instruments that gives certain strange feeling to the tracks. This is music to listen with your eyes closed or in the darkness. The melodies are enchanting and they are designed in order to give a certain feeling to the tracks. And that feeling is music that can be classified as a mix between classical, medieval and certain touches of renacentist. A great ones for people who like something different to listen to. Favorite tracks: "Behold Thou My Crest", " The Charm of Making" and " A Hymn to Dechtire".
