Album: Agrion Splendens - Agrion Splendens


Band: Agrion Splenders
Album: Agrion Splenders
Label: Braincrushing Records / A L'ombre De Cette Vie
Year: 2013










Tracklist
01. Nihil

05. Embrace The Lie
Download

The band started in March 2011 after Sally and Vincent (guitars) met. They were soon joined by Damien (bass) and Colin (drums). Laurent and Mathieu (vocals) joined the band later. Due to bad timings, Laurent and Colin left the adventure, and Yoan (drums) joined the band. 

With this stabilized line-up the band started to compose its own music, mixing heavy and dirty riffs with powerful basslines and dark vocals. The idea is to keep the music simple and efficient. 

In September 2012 the band starts to make some gigs. First 5-tracks effort is has been recorded in November and released in early 2013.

News: Rosetta (Don't worry they are not splitting up...)


Friends,

We have two big announcements to make today.

First, our new album. The new Rosetta full length, titled The Anaesthete, will be available as a pay-what-you-wish digital download on August 8th. We are tracking this with Andrew Schneider at Studio G Brooklyn from July 1st-11th, and self-releasing it online in August. Artwork for the release is by Jordan Butcher/Work of Self (Thrice, Minus the Bear, Backstreet Boys) and Ryan Clark of Invisible Creature. We are not releasing this on CD. The download will be available in almost any format you can imagine, including high-definition.
We are partnering with different labels around the world for vinyl and other goodies. These will vary from continent to continent. Debemur Morti (http://www.debemur-morti.com/) will handle the European physical release, Monolith (http://monolithmonolith.com/) will be covering Australia. In North America, we will self-release a vinyl version of the album once revenue from digital sales has reached critical mass to allow us to do that.
The album is being financed entirely by the band personally. The revenue from the digital download goes 100% back to helping us recoup that cost, and then toward pressing the North American vinyl. This is a big risk for us, but we feel that our listeners are a trustworthy bunch on the whole. Moreover, we want to find out whether releasing music completely independently is a sustainable way for a small band to operate. You get to decide what the album is worth to you, and pay that amount.
Our final EP for Translation Loss has already been recorded, and will be released in early 2014. This will still be a traditional release with a CD available.
Second, we are excited to be supporting Ken Mode on tour in August.
Dates are:
8/8 - Richmond, VA @ Strange Matter (w/ Weedeater)
8/9 - Brooklyn, NY @ Saint Vitus
8/10 - Philadelphia, PA @ Kung Fu Necktie (part of This Is Hardcore)
8/11 - Cambridge, MA @ Middle East Upstairs
8/14 - Rochester, NY @ Bug Jar
8/15 - Albany, NY @ Valentine’s
8/16 - Newark, DE @ Mojo Main
8/17 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Smiling Moose
8/18 - Columbus, OH @ Kobo Live
8/20 - Cleveland, OH @ Now That’s Class
8/21 - Milwaukee, WI @ Cactus Club
8/22 - Minneapolis, MN @ Triple Rock
8/23 - Joliet, IL @ Mojoes (w/ Grace the Damned, no Ken Mode)

Hope to see you at some of these shows.

EP: Tales Of Murder And Dust - Skeleton Flowers


Band: Tales Of Murder And Dust
Album: Skeleton Flowers EP
Label: Self Released
Year: 2013










Tracklist
01. Tremblin'
02. Laid Bare
03. In Apathy
04. Like Young Gentle Beasts
Download

Danish sextet, Tales Of Murder And Dust, was formed in 2007 with the desire to play noisy and cool rock music. Drawing on inspirations from especially surf music and film scores from classic Spaghetti Westerns, the band quickly gained the attention of the Danish press. When the band released their first EP in 2009, called Peyote, Tales Of Murder And Dust was critically praised for their slow and dreamy soundscapes with attention to folk-like details. 

Tales Of Murder And Dust have spend the years following Peyote honing its musical expression even further, approaching a much more shoegazing sound, while supporting artists such as The Black Angels, Crystal Stilts, Wooden Shjips, and The Blue Angel Lounge. 

On the 20th of March 2012 Tales Of Murder And Dust finally released their long awaited debut album: Hallucination of Beauty is an awesome thought-through record in the name of noise rock and shoegaze, yet with an increasingly obvious psychedelic touch, not least in the instrumentation, which often focuses on strings, percussion and sitar.

On June, 6th they released their second EP by the name Skeleton Flowers.

Tales Of Murder And Dust is Kathrine Kaspersen, Kasper Lund Resen, Jacob Korsgaard Jensen, Kristoffer Vilsgaard, Christian Sinding Soendergaard & Simon Toftdahl Olesen.

Imagine, if you will, that something has gone terribly wrong. Beneath the incessant, howling wind from the barren terrain beyond, the only discernible sound, the rhythmic gasp for breath from your own parched throat. Scanning the distance, mirages dance like radiation on the horizon. Can you believe everything you see? Though prophets had long foretold, you cannot help but mourn the mark of time, the metronome of human history that shadowed your former existence. Now, with stumbling step you must unclench white-knuckled fists and begin to travel, never forgetting the shadowy night of the past but willing to risk this primal step into the light of day.

Bent equally on bristling psychedelic squall and driving motorik, Verma emerged in the wake of an experimental improvisational collective. Blending a wide range of influences from proto-metal, minimalism, electronic, space rock and drone, the group constructs and explores cinematic sonic landscapes. Verma is amoebic in nature, coexisting with the mechanical. The driving rhythm section creates a solid architecture for swirling guitars and haunting vocal melodies, all beneath a haze of sweeping synthesizers. This repetitive dervish of sound rises from dark roots to a meditative plane, at once the atmosphere of metamorphosis and cerebral introspection.
