Rainy late spring music
While this late May turned into the rainy and nice weather, I’ve got a package from Eternal Pride. First comes the CD I was wanting for quite tome time: selftitled All Hail Transcending Ghost. This is collaboration of Nordvargr with Tim Bertilsson who plays guitars here. This is nice mix of trademark dark ambient with guitar drones and noises. Some pieces might remind Maurizio Bianchi’s dronings but of course there’s more darkness due to presence of Nordvargr.
Next comes another Nordvargr project Toroidh – “Eine Kleine Marschmusik”. Pretty much like “Sergevittring”, this is another proper Toroidh martial industrial release. Though second track is some speech by supposedly swedish military man talking about some military operation. There’s also some ambient tracks, but background of all the album is of course martial industrial of proper kind.
Beherit – “The Oath of Black Blood”.В I’ve spotted this CD in Eternal Pride’s mailorder catalogue and decided to grab it. As I desperately trying to get latest Beherit album, I’m trying to survive getting their old stuff. В It is quite an old record dated 1990, so it’s rather harsh and raw black metal with trademark Beherit vocals. Some tracks still sound great and are really satanic. Cannot wait for the package from Relapse, there should be final album of this great act.
Bain Wolfkind – “Swamp Angel”. Decided to get this one as I liked samples on his myspace page. This is rather relaxed rock music with somewhat gangster theme. Imagine gangsters of 60s, this is what this musicВ associatedВ with for me. Add here very nice low voice of Bain and you’ll get pretty attractive mix.
Another Hau Ruck! release that attracted me after I heard their samples on myspace. Naevus – “Relatively Close to the Sea”. Some kind of neofolk with weird lyrics and nice melodies. And of course voice of theВ front man appealed to myВ senses, so i decided to buy this CD as well.
Atomine Elektrine – “Archiemtrical Universe”.В Eternal Pride kindly included this CD into the package. В This is their reissue of 1999 album. The music is very synthetic and light but brings nice spacey atmosphere. Or rather old sci-fi movies or sometimes it reminds me of the very old computer Darklight Conflict space game I enjoyed decade ago, hence it brings good mood. At least it works this way for me.
