jhulud Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Ides Of Gemini - Constantinople LP SIGE Records 2012 1st pressing of 150 copies on white, 150 copies on smoke/clear 3 color silkscreened gatefold covers, extra heavyweight stock. On this recording: Sera Timms, J Bennett, Kelly Johnston Track Listing: 1.The Vessel & The Stake 2.Starless Midnight 3.Slain In Spirit 4.Resurrectionists 5.One to Oneness 6.Reaping Golden 7.Austrian Windows 8.Martyrium 9.Old Believer "The simple mix of instruments and voice gives Ides of Gemini a strangely apocalyptic tone. The end of the known world will not come in crashes of sound and fury but with whispers of unnerving strength. Constantinople is an album of sighs and esoteric nightmares, lulling with enigmatic subtleties and supernatural wonder. Ides of Gemini are deadly; allow yourself to be swept along in the swells of euphoric disaster that flow from this haunting trio." -Cvlt Nation "Guitarist J. Bennett lays down imperial metal riffs swathed in so much reverb that they seem isolated from the rest of the world. Bassist/vocalist Sera Timms layers her affectless voice in ghostly counterpoint, turning tales of spiritual discord into disturbing lullabies…If something seems missing from Ides Of Gemini’s sound, that’s exactly the point. Their accretion of small musical gestures inverts metal’s normal use of space. They imply terror without ever exposing it. Each song is an accumulation of outlines, a sort of sonic daguerreotype.” -metalsucks.net http://www.bluecollardistro.com/sigerecords/product_info.php?products_id=7204&cPath=1186_1187&store= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
