Dune Mear - Crucifix Wound (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-23 | I am very proud to present the debut full length album from Washington one-man band Dune Mear, to be released on cassette through Grime Stone Records imminently.This full length extends, expands and all-round obliterates last year’s already excellent Cascading Fields of Infinite Melancholy EP. The eerie reverb which haunts the core of savagely raw melodic black metal cloaks an album of many layers of sonic revelry and thematic nuance, with notes of medievalism, mysticism, nature and black magic boiling together in poisonous clouds of nonpareil potency with the parched guttural bark of the vocals holding unnerving eye contact with the listener.I have had this on hard repeat for many weeks, itching for the moment to unveil it, because I am very certain this is going to hit a sweet spot for many people.Get it from Dune Mear: dunemear.bandcamp.com/albumAnd keep your eyes on the Grime Stone page for the tape: grimestone.bandcamp.comBand: Dune MearAlbum: Crucifix WoundYear: 2022Label: Grime Stone RecordsCountry: USAGenre: Raw Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: dunemear.bandcamp.com/album/crucifix-woundTracklist:1.

Vitriolic Sage - Feuerschlucker (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-22 | "This is the principle, the Only principle..." said the transcriber, sitting in that cramped attic which used to bear the name of "his spiritual safehouse", but had long been transformed --- transformed as gotten smothered, engulfed, or completely taken control, inside out --- by heaps of scrolls and notes accumulated over decades of his so-called "purest chasing of the enlightenment"Vitriolic Sage is a one-man project from Zhejiang, China, delivering an elegantly acerbic form of melodic black metal, whose aggression is channelled with a powerfully calm focus. As the inimitable @neheroth of Under the Dark Soil puts it; “Vitriolic Sage provides here an articulate and eclectic variation of sounds across long song spells and avant-garde aura, one that provides an experience laden with sadistic wonder and inner turmoil digression.”The album is available to order now in CD format from Pest Productions in a limited run of 300 copies: vitriolicsage.bandcamp.com/album/feuerschlucker and will be released in cassette by Under the Dark Soil, in an undisclosed number of tapes at the end of November (though early expressions of interest will be entertained)underthedarksoil.bandcamp.com/album/feuerschlucker Band: Vitriolic SageAlbum: FeuerschluckerYear: 2022Label: Pest Productions / Under the Dark SoilCountry: ChinaGenre: Melodic Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: vitriolicsage.bandcamp.com/album/feuerschlucker Tracklist:1.

Luces Lejanas - Partida (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-19 | The list of excellent projects Morthalion is responsible for grows again, with the release of the full length album from Luces Lejanas, featuring guest drums throughout from the enigmatic M.W., and guest vocals on the track ‘Mirage’ from Karu.Another new sound to emerge from his White Falcon studios to go alongside the raw, cosmic, and rugged black metal of his other projects Bastard of Loran, ARNA, and Stellar Tomb , this is an airy, heavily melodic incarnation of his multi-faceted forms; layering thick fuzzing gothic shoegaze over the ominous undercurrents of blackened post rock, and keeping everything on a skyward trajectory towards epic grandeur.All wrapped in some stellar artwork from @aethelwulf_art and a suitably gorgeous logo from @moonrootart too!Currently self-released in digital form on the Bandcamp: luceslejanas.bandcamp.com/album/partida There is a physical release on a very recognisable label in the works, but not wanting to jinx the progress of that, I will not reveal more details, and leave it to Morthalion to make the announcement in due course.Band: Luces LejanasAlbum: PartidaYear: 2022Label: Self-ReleasedCountry: SpainGenre: Atmospheric Post-Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: luceslejanas.bandcamp.com/album/partida Tracklist:1.

Pale Herald - Architects of Loss (full ep, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-17 | Architects of Loss is the debut release from Polish one-man band, Pale Herald.An EP of five single-word titled tracks, that convey an enigmatic sense of foreboding and melancholy – and as the EP title suggests, loss, longing, yearning that are further defined by the band’s own description of themselves as coming from the “concrete landscapes” of Kraków – and the are few things that catch my attention quicker than “urban Polish black metal”.A story of the successive stages of the collapse of the world, nature and humanity, the EP is as uplifting as it is dismal, in all the right ways, with the grand instrumentation complemented by a range of vocal styles, from the ethereal to the guttural, that make for an intriguing, promising and powerful debut.Self-released, the album is available in digital, CD and cassette formats from the band directly: paleherald.bandcamp.com/album/architects-of-lossBand: Pale HeraldEP: Architects of LossYear: 2022Label: Self-ReleasedCountry: PolandGenre: Atmospheric Post-Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: paleherald.bandcamp.com/album/architects-of-lossTracklist:1.

Nimetön Hauta - Huntu järvien yllä (full ep, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-14 | The new Canti Eretici label has really introduced themselves in spectacular form, from the dungeon psychedelia of Wizardkeep, through theatrical sorcery of Xanathar, and now a turn to the wilds, with the next set of tapes.Inspired by nature and human struggle, Nimetön Hauta’s debut EP is an evocatively harsh atmospheric black metal release, roughed by the wilderness, hewn by calloused hands from bone, bark and the blood of survival. It exudes a sense of melancholia, through the reverbed melodies, while the screeched vocals burn with a tense, terse fire. In parts it reminds me of Dodsrit, with strung-out post-rock riff progressions; and at others its somnolent folk haze recalls the nostalgic rural reverence of Grift, conveyed thorough the sepia hues of the cover art, and the long-range landscape photography. The view from a detached observer.Available to order in a limited run of tapes on 2nd December from Canti Eretici:cantiereticiproductions.bandcamp.com/album/huntu-j-rvien-yll-2 and digital NYP from the artist: nimetonhauta.bandcamp.com/album/huntu-j-rvien-yllBand: Nimetön HautaAlbum: Huntu jJärvien YlläYear: 2022Label: Canti Eretici ProductionsCountry: FinlandGenre: Atmospheric Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: cantiereticiproductions.bandcamp.com/album/huntu-j-rvien-yll-2 Tracklist:1.

Trhä - Endlhëtonëg cassette (Flowing Downward, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-12 | Today I received another of my most favourite albums of recent years; the Flowing Downward cassette edition of Trhä's Endlhëtonëg. First released to tape by Labyrinth Tower, then a vinyl edition through Ixiol, and now CD and a new cassette edition from Flowing Downward. There are many ambient atmospheric bands out there, but none channel the cosmos into electrified skeins of blackened energies quite like Trhä, and this album in particular is especially mesmerising and hypnotically engrossing.CDs and tapes are available to order from the label here: flowingdownward.bandcamp.com/album/endlh-ton-gBand: TrhäAlbum: EndlhëtonëgYear: 2021/2022Label: Labyrinth Tower / Ixiol Productions / Flowing DownwardCountry: USAGenre: Atmospheric Black Metal - Trhä -Bandcamp: trha.bandcamp.com Metal Archives: metal-archives.com/bands/Trh%C3%A4/3540466046 - Flowing Downward -Web: http://www.avantgardemusic.com Bandcamp: flowingdownward.bandcamp.com Instagram: instagram.com/flowingdownward Facebook: facebook.com/flowingdownward Metal Archives: metal-archives.com/labels/Flowing_Downward/46912 #Shorts #MailDay #AtmopshericBlackMetal #BlackMetalTapes
Spider God - Fly in the Trap (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-12 | I am very pleased to present the debut Spider God album, Fly In The Trap; released by Repose Records in 12”, CD and cassette formats yesterday.For this long-awaited release they have chosen a suitably enigmatic topic to base their concept around. Recounting the strange, mysterious, and possibly supernatural death of Elisa Lam in the Cecil hotel in 2013, with its curious parallels to Dark Water (check here if you are unfamiliar: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elisa_Lam), the eeriness and oddness of the story are the ideal base for some explosive off-kilter black metal.Musically, thematically, one of the most interesting bands around the black metal scene, be it UK or beyond, this band have been producing some of the most naggingly infectious hook-heavy EPs, especially Skugglösa ljuset plus a run of singles that lead up to the full pop covers compilation last Christmas (pretty wild that was almost a year ago tbh), spiking their raw, intense black metal with perfectly juxtaposed barbs of sugary melodicism.It all most definitely comes together over the extended for of a full length, and is way more fun than black metal or the theme of the album should be; or indeed, much of the music should allow, with it still retaining a raw visceral, unsettling darkness at its core but the band plays with it with an awareness and uncommonly adroit ability they constantly blur the dark and light together.The album is available now in a range of formats and vinyl colours, from the Repose Bandcamp and website now: spider-god.bandcamp.com/album/fly-in-the-trap-2Band: Spider GodAlbum: Fly In The TrapYear: 2022Label: Repose RecordsCountry: UKGenre: Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: spider-god.bandcamp.com/album/fly-in-the-trap-2Tracklist:1.

Ayyur - Hidden Rooms Sessions I (full ep, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-11 | I am very proud to present Hidden Rooms Sessions I, the new EP of ancient mystic atmospheric doom, from Ayyur – the work of solo practitioner Angra Mainyu – which comes two years after the sumptuous desolation of the Balkarnin EP, which I featured on the channel on its release.The four tracks of Hidden Rooms offer a deliberate, ominous procession of bleak melodicism, which seem sparse on initial approach yet patiently intensify to building up layers of detail as each song develops, and revealing hidden depths over repeated listens (of which I have been giving this EP over the last couple of weeks). A very limited edition tape, housed in olive-wood box with carved sigils, was co-released between Xenoglossy Productions and Hidden Rooms Recordings (Tunisia), in a run of 50 copies. Sold out from Xenoglossy, but some are still available from Hidden Room and Ayyur: hiddenroomsrecordingstn.bandcamp.com/album/hidden-rooms-sessions-iayyur.bandcamp.com/album/hidden-rooms-sessions-i Digital copies from either label or artist.xenoglossyproductions.bandcamp.com/album/hidden-rooms-sessions-i Band: AyyurAlbum: Hidden Rooms Sessions IYear: 2022Label: Hidden Rooms Recordings / Xenoglossy ProductionsCountry: TunisiaGenre: Atmospheric Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: xenoglossyproductions.bandcamp.com/album/hidden-rooms-sessions-iTracklist:1.

Primordial Serpent - Kingdom of Darkness and Despair (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-10 | I will never fail to lend my support to the mighty Primordial Serpent! One of the greatest one-man projects in the scene, delivering full-band scale old school melodic black metal that deservedly picks up hordes of new listeners with every release.It has been great to see this album in particular catching so much attention - in part, that striking evocative artwork by Hay Seed demands listening to, and as soon as you hit play the hooks keep coming thick and fast, like that murder of crows exploding from the gnarled towers depicted on the cover.Another masterful series of ice-cold black metal tracks that make this album more than worthy of a physical edition, and I am sure there are labels considering how to do it justice as we speak.

Starting in 2020 with Schizomenous, the project delivers the listener into a barrage of hallucinatory visions; of twisting stone corridors of cavernous and chaotic sound, accentuated by unnerving samples and sound effects that flit and flicker among carnage of rhythm and riff.Check out Canvas of a New Dawn, here: youtu.be/Ch4ikNRXAA4The occasion of these uploads is the set of physical releases of the albums by the mighty Onism Productions.

Araduous - Sorrow (full ep, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-08 | Superb three-track opening statement of intent from new Syrian two-piece band, Araduous – a project which marks my first feature of a Syrian black metal band.

Grave Pilgrim - Molten Hands Reach West (full ep, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-04 | My final Death Prayer feature of this week marks todays drop of label releases, which features a staggering 13 albums, several new ones I have posted this week, plus more new albums along with some killer represses too.Four tracks of malevolent black metal melodicism, punctuated by cavernous acoustic americana-blues interludes that build on the full length from last year in an intensely satisfying form. Grave Pilgrim expand on the burgeoning subgenres of alternative and roots black metals from bands such Till, Ink & Fire (from this Death Prayer drop), and styles of swampy blackgrass from bands like Vide and the Moonlight Cypress Archetypes roster. There’s also some similarity to the first Uada album in the subtle integration of hard rock melodicism, but this is that much more claustrophobic and viscerally raw.Black metal will never cease to be the most fascinating of all musical genres to me, when it keeps managing to create such vitally warped permutations of progressive primitivism like this.Digital and 12” vinyl are available now, with the records limited to 200 copies, that will not be around for long.gravepilgrim.bandcamp.com/album/molten-hands-reach-westBand: Grave PilgrimEP: Molten Hands Reach WestYear: 2022Label: Death Prayer RecordsCountry: USAGenre: Melodic Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: gravepilgrim.bandcamp.com/album/molten-hands-reach-westTracklist:1.

Ancient Mastery - City of Broken Dreams (single, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-04 | I am very proud to present ‘City of Broken Dreams’; an advance track from the second Chapter in Ancient Mastery’s four-part realms of Valdura saga.This is a blistering, emotive, hi-octane blast right from the start, that combines some of the sounds Erech has been experimenting with in recent projects like Bergfried and Golden Blood, adding melodic power metal and folk flourishes along with the epic black metal, that naturally characterise an album titled “The Resistance”“...While “Chapter One” told about a group of adventurers and their travel to distant Valdura, “Chapter Two” focuses on the arrival of Aryun and his companions in that mythical realm. Unexpectedly drawn into a long simmering conflict between the corrupt government and the resistance in Valdura’s capital Tordal, they meet the female resistance leader Tabe who informs them of the plight they just encountered...”The full album is released on 2nd December through Northern Silence Productions.

The second full length from this Canadian one-man band, following last year’s self-titled, and presents the band in a starkly imposing light – a fearsome, seething mass of shifting shadows and darkness, silhouetted against the bruised sky, as evocatively depicted in this immense cover art. A sense of blistered aging and biting chill conveyed through the imagery, into the music and in to you, as the slowly choking sense of dread seeps from the speakers through your soul.A perfect balance of cold atmospheric winter metal and raw melodicism.The album is available to pre-order now in digital form, releasing in full tomorrow, Bandcamp Friday 4th November: o-ver.bandcamp.com/album/giants-of-mirkBand: VérAlbum: Giants of MirkYear: 2022Label: Self-releasedCountry: CanadaGenre: Raw Atmospheric Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: o-ver.bandcamp.com/album/giants-of-mirk Tracklist:1.

Count Vornok - Towards the Black Vaults of Angorn (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-03 | Presenting Count Vornok’s The second part of the "Age of Blight" trilogy , following Guided by the Light of Felrisian's Staff, and my penultimate Death Prayer Records feature this week in the run up to their major release day tomorrow.Where that evocatively raw album, was a more minimal and wintery expedition, it still painted a characterful and detailed vision of a world (helped along by narration from Mortiis) that now opens up into a widescreen Panavision-scale epic chapter in Towards the Black Vaults of Angorn.Our heroic adventurer, emboldened by bountiful deed and meade, arrives deep in a world of ancient, arcane lore, blood magick, ferocious battles and a rising blighted sun.On a note that crashes us back into reality; The Count dedicates this album to Stuart Anstis, who was set to appear on the final track, but sadly the universe had other plans.The album will be released in a limited run of 200 records, pressed on 140g black vinyl and housed in a reverse-board print outer-sleeve with double-sided insert – available to order from the Death Prayer Bandcamp, 11am UK time on Friday 4th November.Band: Count VornokAlbum: Towards the Black Vaults of AngornYear: 2022Label: Death Prayer RecordsCountry: UKGenre: Epic Black Metal Transmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: countvornok.bandcamp.com/album/towards-the-black-vaults-of-angornTracklist:1.

Ink & Fire - Execution of Spirit (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-11-02 | Today’s Death Prayer full album feature is the debut from new Chicago, US one-man band, Ink & Fire, and though I can hardly pick a favourite from this batch of albums, this one has been burning a particularly fierce presence into my psyche over the last few weeks.Anyone following my various strands of enthusiasm over recent years will know I am particularly keen on this emerging garage psych styles of black metal – bands like Pyre of Black Roses have been kicking out some loose, raw, ramshackle jamz, and this album from Ink & Fire has me wondering whether John Dwyer has turned his hand to black metal, such is the hedonistic, but tightly played rhythmic infernos detonated by this artist.The title track is just a ludicrously free-spirited ride of wild abandon, completely feral and detached from any typical genre moorings you’d try and pin it down to – yet still resolutely black metal, despite the hyperactive blur.Yeah, I like this one a lot. 10/10, highly recommend.Limited edition vinyl copies will be available to order along with the full digital album this Friday, 4th November at 11am UK.

Lily Of The Valley - Eiskart (full album, 2022) Transmissions from the Dark 2022-10-30 | October's final edition of Dungeon Synth Sunday begins with the recent album from Hungary's dark nature ambient artist, Lily Of The Valley, and the final Arthur Rackham illustration intro banner, using 'The Gods grow wan and aged at the loss of Freia' from "The Rhinegold and The Valkyrie" by Richard Wagner.As Halloween looms large (if not already underway with a weekend of spooktacular revelry), I have two unsettling but pleasingly ambient nature noise releases for you, with a haunted compilation climax to get you in the mood for the tricks and treatsLet’s start with Lily of the Valley. Following the beautifully ethereal Colocan Alley I featured on the channel in May, Eiskart is a far noisier, gnarled and earthen encounter with the powers of the forest; a tangled mass of icy and dissonant vibrations that loose the soil from roots. ""Clear your mind and let the frost and darkness quietly embrace you."Released at the start of October in a now sold-out run of tapes and special hand-made relic boxes by Kajdum’s Tower, the album is still available in digital format from the Lily bandcamp: https:lilyofthesynth.bandcamp.com/album/eiskartBand: Lily Of The ValleyAlbum: EiskartYear: 2022Label: Kajdum’s TowerCountry: HungaryGenre: Nature AmbientTransmissions links: https://linktr.ee/transmissionsftd Album: lilyofthesynth.bandcamp.com/album/eiskartTracklist:1.
