Consciousness Removal Project - Tides of Blood Part II

Tides of Blood Pt. 2 cover art


Well executed post metal by one man project of Antti Loponen of Finland. Measured, graceful songs that capture the atmosphere of evening. One step further and you're into the abyss, one step back and you're in the glaring sunlight of oppression. Album ends strong with the doom riffs of Dark Horizon giving way to resolution.



 




Tracklist:

1 (peace)
2 Z
3 Valediction of a Victim
4 (understanding)
5 Dark Horizon




Release Date: May 2nd 2016

M.S.W. - Cloud : Musica Pro Lapsu

CLOUD cover art



Cloud is the latest cassette release from M.S.W. of Salem, Oregon. This differs from his other project Hell as it has no sludgy doom riffs but it is heavy in it's own right. The two neo-classical piano tracks are at times contemplative, warm, beautiful and ominous and it is very easy to let yourself be swallowed up by the sound. A healing salve for psychic wounds.



Tracklist:

1 Musica Pro Lapsu
2 Musica ad Frigore Hiemes

Saor - Roots




Saor, formerly known as Arsaidh is the latest project from Scotland's Andy Marshall and it is a sweeping release of atmospheric, epic, celtic metal replete with melancholy and post black metal influences. The album flows nicely with three lengthy tracks and a short interlude that are able to paint a picture of a Scottish countryside filled with sorrow. One of the better releases so far this year.



Tracklist:

1 Roots
2 Carved in Stone
3 Saorsa
4 A Highland Lament

Clara Engel - I Keep On Trying






I Keep On Trying is the latest single release from Clara Engel and it is absorbing in it's sad beauty. This is music that speaks to my soul; the poetry, the chords, the bass and cello of Kyle Johnston and Tilman Lewis. It's dark and acoustic and angry and hopeless and absolutely amazing. The raw emotion that emanates from these songs blows me away but I'm used to that from Clara. I love this release and I want more.


Tracklist :

1 I Keep on Trying
2 How Fast My Tears Float Away
