Formed in the early 2000s, the band harnessed their experiences with mental illness and the unsettling backdrop of Middlesbrough to craft a sound that melds dissonance with visceral intensity. Their early releases, like The Ichneumon Method and Deleted Scenes From The Transition Hospital, showcased their ability to blend harsh industrial elements with intricate metal compositions, earning them critical acclaim and a devoted following. The ambitious concept albums Urfe and Tenements pushed the boundaries even further, weaving a nightmarish narrative that reflected their unique aesthetic. After a brief hiatus and eventual dissolution, the duo's return in 2019 marked a resurgence of creativity, culminating in the 2024 release of Apertures. This album not only encapsulates their signature sound but also pushes into new realms of surrealism and atmospheric depth.

However, in 2021 they emerged from the enforced isolation of the global pandemic as a fully formed trio, joined by bassist Skyler Rezendes and took their art to the stages of Boise, in all its dread and despair, a tormented hybrid of drone, doom and death. An eponymous single was released in 2023, 10+ minutes of soul scouring terror that caught the ear of Apocalyptic Witchcraft, with label head Conor Droney describing the band as producing “music for the end of all things, and the silence that follows.” Now the first fruits of this new alliance are about to be revealed…Old Year’s four track debut album of monolithic menace, No Dissent..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pressure begins to build as soon as ‘Death Frequency’ steps from the silence in an excoriating flood of feedback and blood. The unease starts to transform into terror and a need to escape, to turn your head from this visceral vision of dystopia. But your free will drains away into the morass of world eating sound. Gargantuan chords progress like tectonic plates over drum beats which summon visions of the fading heartbeat of a dying universe, deep, dispassionate vocals deliver unbearable truths and lead guitar notes bring a razor blade sharpness to the overwhelming desolation. Old Year drag you, lethargic and lifeless, through broken landscapes under a burning, acid sky and as you reach the monumental oppression of ‘Lock Step’ you can feel yourself dissolving into the awesome mass they have created. All sense of self dissipates, bleeding into an ocean of decaying souls and rotten dreams. Old Year have created a formidable edifice of bleak portent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo Dissent is the sonic realisation of an uncompromising vision, unflinching in its harsh presentation of the ongoing, inevitable deterioration and putrefaction of the human spirit.

They have also built a reputation for intense, diabolical live performances, appearing alongside the likes of Esoteric, Ghost Bath, and Møl.

This city is no dormant collection of bricks and metal…it lives, feeding on human emotion, on our avarice and anger, on our desperation as we run like trapped rats through a maze, locked into the bizarre and broken lives we have constructed. The powerful, driving rhythms of ‘Gristimmar’ hound us through this thrilling, terrifying dream world of shadows and neon light, Vaarwel’s imperious voice, black as night, carried on dancing keys and elemental guitars. ‘I lyktornas sken’ (meaning ‘In The Light Of Street Lamps’) conjures the imagined sanctuary of those pools of illumination, yet also the way the darkness deepens at the limits of their radiance. The cold sadness, the absolute aloneness of ‘Köttkvarn’ bleeds through the skin, transporting the listener far from any lingering perception of the world outside Askdrömmar’s cityscape.

It is rare for a band to return from years of silence with an album that represents a new creative peak in their story, but with A Cry For The Slain that is exactly what Cnoc An Tursa have achieved.

Steeped in bardic tradition and storytelling this majestic track introduces the listener to a highland banshee who foretells death and tragedy and sings her laments beside the deep lochs and chill waterfalls. With the Caoineag’s song atmosphere rises like mountain mists, enshrouding and transporting while the captivating melodies conjured by Cnoc An Tursa lead us into a different world. ‘Cailleach And The Guardians Of The Seven Stones’ is a magnificent, sweeping tribute to the goddess of winter who shapes the landscape with her hammer, the ghost of Thin Lizzy’s ‘Emerald’ dancing in its Gaelic reels. A stunning guitar solo adorns the multifaceted track that captures the power, allure, mystery and terror of the blood thirsty ‘Baobhan Sith’, while the thundering energy of ‘Am Fear Liath Mòr’ takes you to the mountain passes of the Cairngorms, haunted by a giant presence…“I can hear the footsteps behind me, I can see the Big Grey Man”… And nestled amongst all the stories and ‘Address To The Devil’s epic dark poetry, we find first single, ‘Alba In My Heart’ – a pledge of allegiance, a song of devotion to Cnoc An Tursa’s beloved Scotland. There’s a raised fist and a strength of spirit in the blood stirring melodies and the rolling rhythms, in the riffs tumbling down like mountain streams. The authenticity of emotion in this song is undeniable. By the time ‘The Nine Maidens Of Dundee’ leads us down from the peaks once more, with a head full of dreams and a belief that magic may still exist in the less travelled glens of the northlands, the sheer power of Cnoc An Tursa’s return has become abundantly clear. A Cry For The Slain is a breathtaking album, a beacon burning in the night of mundane modernity, calling to those of us who want more than we’ve been sold.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWith the intuitive mastering of Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Primordial, Hexvessel etc) bringing depth and vigour to every note, A Cry For The Slain smoulders with sonic intensity and all the emotion and secrets of its narrative are captured in the evocative artwork of Olga Kann (Winteria, Withered Land, Ruadh etc) that adorns its cover.

A combination of powerfully evocative lyrics and soul scarring music creates an unequivocal, yet irresistible invitation to damnation. From the indefatigable velocity of the wicked 'Cephalophore' to the precision guitar patterns and chanted revelations of 'Immaculate', the cruel, haunting and surely damned 'We Do Not Use Names Here' to the cold menace of 'Tenements (Only The Wicked Walk In Circles), steeped in the sweat and stench of terror, every moment of Parable Of The Sewer is a masterful expression of black metal art.

It seemed that this remarkable work of blackened art was destined to remain an underground secret, its desolate sonic landscape largely unexplored. However, an alliance between Flowers of Rust and international label Apocalyptic Witchcraft is set to bring richly deserved new life to this monumental collection of soul-scarring hymns. The following statement regarding the signing was issued under the Flowers of Rust name: “The journey continues. Flowers of Rust is honoured to join the Apocalyptic Witchcraft family—a collective bound by vision and intensity. Together, we move forward, gathering momentum toward an uncertain and looming future.” While Conor Droney, head of Apocalyptic Witchcraft stated: “Signing Flowers of Rust feels like the beginning of something raw, honest, and impossible to ignore.” So now the time has come to discover the secrets of Crude Exhibitions Of The Soul…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music of Flowers Of Rust has been described by the artist as a 'journey into the forgotten, the forsaken' and with the first, haunting notes of the introductory 'Eigengrau' a pall of solitude descends, a feeling of intense loneliness - and the gate to Crude Exhibitions Of The Soul swings open… The title track that follows is a richly organic creation, formed from the essence of despair and hopelessness. The riffs seem to breathe, the rhythms like a heartbeat - alternating between frantic anxiety and utter despondency - while the vocals are unvarnished, harsh and bitingly real. Our descent into shattered abandonment continues through 'Sour Mercy', a step into emptiness that begins with a feeling of being helplessly lost, before the guitars take on more menacing and dangerous shapes, delivering sharp injections of jagged pain. 'Brave New Corpse' summons an oppressive, soul-crushing weight and all consuming, impenetrable blackness through anguished, agonized riffs, colossal chords and razorblade guitar motifs; then explodes into a rush of bleak exhilaration with melancholic melody winding wormlike through its heart. 'Bright Violence' offers stately dread and imperious dissonance, fraught with a sublevel of desperation and perturbation, before casting us into the freezing torrents of 'Mother Atrophy'. An absolute highlight amongst an array of blighted, splintered treasures, 'Mother Atrophy' drags us down into its raging, shadowed depths before casting us upon a distant shore - cold, alone, lost once more, howling beneath an endless, pitiless sky. It is then left to 'Driftwood' to render the perfect, broken conclusion to our journey through these Crude Exhibitions Of The Soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing the formidable drumming of J V Green (Burial Oath, Goatchamber etc) and a guest guitar contribution from Thorn Blackfyre (Black Altar, Vástígr etc), Crude Exhibitions Of The Soul is a work of incredible potency. Mixed and mastered by Thom Tadsen (Cringe, Trenchgoat etc) it has been cursed with an emotional intensity that pierces the heart like a cold, steel needle. Complete with new artwork, Crude Exhibitions Of The Soul will be released by Apocalyptic Witchcraft on cassette and digital formats on August 7th and a new host of tormented souls will be drawn to its bitter radiance, like moths to a flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRE-ORDER released August 4th\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apocalyptic Witchcraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43162345766999,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1479\/2142\/files\/APW063.jpg?v=1778591314"},{"product_id":"soothsayer-the-unbinding-limited-edition-cassette-pre-order","title":"Soothsayer - The Unbinding - Limited Edition Cassette PRE-ORDER","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Ireland's 'rebel county', Cork, in 2013, Soothsayer have built a formidable reputation, not only within the extreme metal community of the Emerald Isle, but wherever powerful, uncompromising and emotive music is treasured and held dear. After two EPs (The Soothsayer and At This Great Depth), a live album (Soothsayer Live In Malta MMXIX) and a split release with compatriots Partolón, 2021 finally saw the release of Soothsayer's full length debut album, Echoes Of The Earth. Praising the album for its ability to successfully meld “the monolithic sounds of doom with sludge, death metal and hefty doses of atmosphere”, Distorted Sound Magazine declared that Echoes Of The Earth had been “well worth the eight-year wait”. Now the time has come for Soothsayer to unveil their second album, one which builds upon the foundations laid down by Echoes Of The Earth and all that came before it, an album that absorbs and enthrals from its first note, holding you in its grasp until the very last…\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/imperativepr.co.uk\/artist-soothsayer\"\u003eThe Unbinding\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening in an irresistible shock of venom and velocity, 'Eroding The Sky' sweeps the unwary listener into Soothsayer's most compelling creation to date. Bleakly beautiful, haunted and dangerous, The Unbinding unfurls through the unpredictable power and pulsing malice of 'Sooner Acceptance', into the sombre procession of 'Endless Shesha' with its shifting movements and dark heartbeat, on to 'The Vine', a march through wind, rain and shadow, sadness and wickedness. The magnificent drumming, the colossal underpinning weight of the bass, the multifaceted guitars - fury, majesty, might and terrible sadness - and the incredible vocal performances, so wrought with raging emotion and touched by madness…each member of Soothsayer has delivered performances that lift The Unbinding to new, breathtaking levels. Final track, 'A Vague Shimmer' is perhaps the album's crowning glory, a song that captures the essence of Soothsayer, binds them to their homeland and history and engulfs the listener in momentous melancholy as it whispers of the passing of an age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith every note imbued with resonance and portent at Last Light Recordings in Dublin (Coscradh, Diocletian, Dread Sovereign etc), The Unbinding is a living entity, rife with ghosts and memories, that has the potential to offer a different experience with every immersion in its cold waters.
