SP. 030-09 Nox Aurea – Via Gnosis

Format: CD
Release Date: 31.08.2009
Country: Sweden
Genre: Doom Death

The debut album of a young Swedish band Nox Aurea is specially created for those ones seeking for combination of aesthetic sophistication with solid sound and deep sense in doom death metal. “Via Gnosis” album is close in musical sense to the early works of Swallow the Sun being pierced by the gnostic philosophy veil and creating a unique atmosphere. Members of Nox Aurea earlier played in several black metal bands while now they try to create the very traditional doom death sound with its own mentality. Nine album tracks based on atmospheric keyboard sound are opened up before a listener as the pages of ancient book carrying esoteric wisdom in lyrics sung by vocals varying from growling to clean male and female vocals.
The album was recorded and mastered at Sonic Train Studios, in collaboration with Andy LaRocque (King Diamond)!

Tracklist:

1. Opus Draconus
2. The Funeral Of All
3. Suffer
4. Odium Divinum
5. Nights In Solitude

SP. 029-09 S:t Erik – From Under The Tarn

Format: CD
Release Date: 30.08.2009
Country: Sweden
Genre: Psychedelic Doom Metal

Debut full-length album “From Under The Tarn” is a brilliant first step of a Swedish doom metal band S:T Erik towards the top of the genre. The music is mainly inspired by bands like Ufomammut, Sleep, Om, Electric Wizard and High On Fire. But the combined influences of the members’ previous engagements (ranging from death metal and stoner to post-rock), extensive use of spacey synthesizers and something as rare as a talented vocalist, result in an interesting sound, quite unique to the genre. Psychedelic doom metal filled with dense riffs performed by S:T Erik is an outstanding discovery for adepts of the genre.

Tracklist:

1. Goddess
2. The Search
3. Your Highness
4. Black Wall
5. Swan Song

First four Art Of Silence releases out now!

BMM ART 01 Voida – Voida

A new project of the talented artist known as Prog-Jester (Funeral Of The Sun (funeral doom), Krobak (post rock), Stoned Jesus (stoner metal)) presents dark ambient style being a new experience for the musician. Three tracks of the debut album will lead you from traditional ambient through post-rock motives peculiar to the musician to drone ambient in the vein of recent Lustmord experiments.

BMM ART 02 Odio Vestri – Darkness Of Sorrow

A debut album of a young Russian band combining funeral doom with ambient in their music and thus approaching some Stijn van Cauter works. Raw and melancholic funeral doom by Odio Vestri is a potential new step towards depression for an unskilled listener.

BMM ART 03 Asklepia – Cold Of Solitude

A full-length album from a Russian band fitting the frames of depressive black metal in their creativity. Cold and raw album sound with Russian lyrics pierced by yearning of loneliness will surely attract fans of the genre.

BMM ART 04 Dispersive Light – Dispersive Light

Ukranian band presents crushing material based on combination of drone and dark ambient enriched by severe black metal atmosphere. Two endless morbid tracks from Dispersive Light turn to two enormous black waves taking the listener to the depths of the void…forever…

All Cds are limited to 100 copies. In this series we present the records which can hardly attract wide attention by some reasons (like experimental character of music or record quality), however, are worth listening to our mind. We have developed a special thick cardboard sleeve being a small LP sleeve replica for these series; special packages are made in Japan. Each release includes a sticker, a small booklet and a card with copy number.
