  1. Pessimism can be so beautiful: German nautic doomers Ahab have not only created their very own subgenre, they are also incomparable dabblers in solemn melancholy! The Boats of the Glen Carrig is a novel by William Hope Hodgson from 1907 that tells the gruesome story of survival after shipwreck: the ice-cold embrace of the sea this as always has been turned to molten lead in the utmost atmospheric manner by Ahab! Since the band`s founding in late 2004, the four-piece has continuously worked its way to the top of (funeral) doom. The Boats of the Glen Carrig is their magnum opus and is gracefully nestled in between slow-motion anthems and haunting melodies.

  2. With "Tau", Romanian Folk Black Metal pioneers Negura Bunget not only present the long-awaited successor to "Virstele Pamintului" (2010), but also their first album for Lupus Lounge / Prophecy Productions with genuinely new song material. "Tau" also marks the beginning of Negura Bunget's ambitious "Transilvanian Trilogy", a sonic and visual tribute to the band's home country. While this first part highlights Romanian nature, parts two and three will deal with man, his traditions and practices as well as spiritual elements.

    On "Tau", each of the eight songs represents a specific natural landscape with its unique atmosphere and mystique, its legends and meanings. Musically, Negura Bunget stick to their familiar range of sounds with both primal, harsh Black Metal elements and their meditative, folkloristic counterparts. Adding to their ever since wide array of instruments, Negura Bunget add a trumpet and other brass for the first time ever, all of which enhance the group's aural scope in an original way. Highlighting its distinctive character, the album boasts guest appearances by illustrious musicians such as Rune Eriksen (ex-Mayhem; guitars on "Impodobeala Timpului") and Sakis Tolis (Rotting Christ; vocals on "Tarim Vilhovnicesc"). Overall, the music on "Tau" seems more earthbound than on any other album by Negura Bunget and depends on an expressiveness which the Romanians have not embraced since the classic "Om". Still, the music within the concept of "Tau" is only one piece of the jigsaw. The crucial point is Transilvania's breathtaking landscape, so in the end, only the imagery of the 72-page artbook edition (which also features explanatory text on the places covered and their history) and the three (!) accompanying music videos will close the conceptual circle.

    Incidentally, the title "Tau" has two meanings: on the one hand, it addresses man ("your/thy"), and on the other, it stands for small mountain lakes which are often, contrary to the seeming inconspicuousness, exceptionally deep.

  3. 20 years ago one of the most outstanding albums in Century Media’s history, one of the most diverse and daring in metal history was released and resulted in a major success for both label and band: TIAMAT’s “Wildhoney”. Now, this unique amalgamation of sinister metal and psychedelic, atmospheric and progressive elements is being re-issued on vinyl on time with its 20th anniversary. Packaged in a heavy cardboard Gatefold sleeve, the 2014 edition of “Wildhoney” also features a LP booklet (12-pages) containing the lyrics and is expanded with a poster of the classic Kristian Wahlin cover plus a detailed interview with Johan Edlund, Johnny Hagel, Lars Sköld, Magnus Sahlgren, Waldemar Sorychta, Siggi Bemm used with kind permission from renowned US mag Decibel. A stunning new edition of a stunning album!

  7. Hey there,

     

    I can verify this, during the loud passages near the centre it distorts pretty heavily on my tt as well. Now this might not be entirely the label's fault, some albums are mastered pretty loud, making it more difficult for the needle to track them. This means your system has to be aligned precisely and even then, some systems are not the best trackers. I have a Grado system, which sounds awesome on quieter records, but on louder ones, and especially during huge crescendos when many instruments come into play, it can distort pretty badly. I have noticed it with other records already and tried everything to fix this, with limited success. What system do you use? My advice would be to go for a better tracker once you do your next system upgrade.

  8. It has been seven long years since MAYHEM released their fourth and latest full-length ‘Ordo ad Chao’. Rejuvenated by the recruitment of Teloch (of NIDINGR fame) in replacement of iconic guitarist / composer Blasphemer who left the fold in 2008, the spearhead of Black Metal is back stronger than ever before with a new album. ‘Esoteric Warfare’ demonstrates how perfectly Teloch has captured the essence and spirit of the Norwegian legend by linking the band back to its roots, while at the same time taking a step forward into the leading position of the genre instead of dwelling in nostalgia. ‘Esoteric Warfare’ is a full-scale assault of total dark savagery, where Attila's inhumane vocals are entirely based on a concept dealing with the esoteric experimentations of the nuclear powers during the cold war. The album proves once again and beyond doubt that MAYHEM are the Alpha and the Omega of black metal!

  9. Guys, does anyone know another way to make contact with those bandshop fucks besides e-mail? I'm STILL waiting for my goddamn box set and I already wrote 4 mails without getting any reply. I already received shipping notice but the status of the USPS site just never changed, and now the link doesn't even work anymore. Anyone else still waiting?This is really fucked up! :angry: :angry: :angry:
