xgrantx Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Black metal fans - I picked up some copies of SET's LP Upheaval of Unholy Darkness and ANU's Opus Funaerum LP from the band. Both feature Chad Davis of Demoncy, Hour of 13, Sabbathian, and a million others. They are some of the few copies in the US and pretty cheap too! The Anu LPs have some corner dings from shipping from Finland. The SET LPs are super nice and come with an embroidered patch and sticker. http://bittermelodyrecords.limitedrun.com/ http://youtu.be/-gVp6z9C_ZY http://youtu.be/OfCMzlyJ5XU Anu - Opus Funaerum LP From one of the former/earliest members of one of the most important USBM bands, Demoncy, spawns forth ANU! 9 obscured years since the acclaimed demo and long out of print 7" where released unto this world, the spirit that is ANU has awakened with the release of the long anticipated full length album "Opus Funaerum". Possibly the coldest release that the USBM underground has ever seen, "Opus Funaerum" is the solitary black candle that illuminates the all-consuming Darkness of obscurity and mysticism.These are some of the only and last copies of this in the US. Set - Upheaval of Unholy Darkness LP In 2008, Set released a CDR demo entitled, “Dominus Profanum,” that, due to the limited quantity in which it was produced, initially failed to generate the interest that the recording deserved. For the initiated, however, it was immediately apparent that Set would soon be recognized as a powerful current within the U.S. Black Metal underground. Immediately upon hearing the demo, YK contacted the prolific C. Davis/Drathrul, well known for his work with bands such as Hour of 13, Anu, Profane Grace, Demoncy, and Subklinik, to name a few. To further spread the darkness evoked by the “Dominus Profanum” recording, NWN! released a cassette version of the demo. Despite the promising nature of the demo, Set would be unable to record a proper full-length until earlier this year when the band delivered its debut full-length recording, “Upheaval of Unholy Darkness.” The five-year interval between the two releases, though it left fans of the band disappointed, only sharpened the edges of Set’s sound, and the quality of this debut more than compensates for the delay in its arrival. Like Demoncy, a band with which Davis has been affiliated, Set creates an oppressive atmosphere while still maintaining a delivery that is incisive and violent—a balance rarely achieved as expertly as it is on “Upheaval of Unholy Darkness.” Set’s atmospheric sensibilities are informed, no doubt, by Davis’ noise and industrial work in Subklinik and Torturecide while Davis’ excellent songwriting and riff management skills are clear from the Metal portion of his superb and diverse résumé. The accretion of Davis’ myriad influences into a stylized yet traditional sound is impressive and culminates, here, in Set’s extraordinary debut album. These come with a patch and sticker. One was missing the patch and sticker. I have noted it and made it a little cheaper.
