SHIBALBA (Acherontas) stream new song “Aether Ananda Aiwass”


The secretive Greek/Swedish collective of SHIBALBA, has shared another new taste of their upcoming work of meditative dark art, featuring traces of ritual, ambient, trance and shamanic  music. The song  “Aether Ananda Aiwass” comes from the “Psychostasis – Death Of Khat” album, set to be released on April 30th via Agonia Records. Listen to the song here:

SHIBALBA is Acherontas V.Priest (Acherontas), Karl NE/Nachzehrer (Nåstrond) and Aldra-Al-Melekh. Their music is saturated with the mysticism of the East. It’s richly detailed and multidimensional, while layered with chanting and broadly defined elements of traditional ritual and shamanic music. Apart from contemporary synths and guitar drones, the band makes use of bones and skulls as percussion instruments, Tibetan horns, Tibetan singing bowls, bone & horne trumpets, darbuka’s (goblet drums) as well as ceremonial bells and gongs. The band’s intention, in their own words, is to “guide the subconsious of the individual to dream beyond the skin of matter & to dream in ecstasy and exult”.

“Psychostasis – Death Of Khat” was recorded by the band themselves in Greece and Sweden, in a manner in which sound vibrations have been registered in a form analogous to the way in which the human ear perceives sound. High standards were provided especially for the vinyl edition of the album.

ZARAZA: Full stream of “Spasms Of Rebirth”


Ecuador’s doom metal duo ZARAZA have published the full streaming of their latest album “Spasms Of Rebirth”.

The result of this is “Spasms of Rebirth”, the new album released on April 4th, 2017; a head on collision of all the musical influences that have shaped ZARAZA: doom metal, sludge metal, death metal, old-school 1980s industrial, experimental music. Everything from Cocteau Twins all the way to Napalm Death and  SWANS… and many others. No boundaries, no limits.

ZARAZA were formed in 1993, in Montreal, Canada after newly arrived polish immigrant Jacek moved to the frozen wastelands of Canada in the bitter cold winter of 1990.

In a uniquely ZARAZA move, the album “Spasms of Rebirth” is released in a dual master edition. The default master is typical of how most metal albums are mastered today, i.e. geared for maximum loudness and impact, but at the cost of dynamics within the music. The second master is geared instead towards audiophiles who prefer Full Dynamic Range and value dynamics in the music over just pure loudness. Pick whichever master you like.

ULSECT stream third track of debut album


unnamed (11).jpg

ULSECT are releasing the third new track taken from their self-titled debut album, which has been slated for release on May 12th.

The Dutch death metal innovators are now streaming “Unveil” at the link below, which can be freely used and spread.

Regarding the track, ULSECT comment: “Our song ‘Unveil’ speaks of scorned omens and the revelation of inevitable consequence. The chaos and sudden transitions that initiate this track are contrasted by a moment of clarity, ultimately leading to a crushing and repetitive mantra; a symbolization of the vicious cycle in which death is a necessity for life to bloom.”

Artwork and track-list of ‘Ulsect’ can be viewed below.
