WORM OUROBOROS – Complete Work On New Album
Bay Area chamber rock trio WORM OUROBOROS have completed work on their sophomore album “Come The Thaw”, the anticipated follow-up to their eponymous debut.
Crafting a much darker, more delicate, intricate and meticulously constructed album that raises the bar on the trio’s songwriting, “Come The Thaw” (which now features drummer Aesop Dekker of Agalloch/Ludicra fame) is a musical observation that serves its purpose as the soundtrack to modern day tragedy and longing. A more serene and haunting offering than the debut, “Come The Thaw” is a chilling and painful overbearing glimpse to the rite of finality, one which unravels…
LOCRIAN & MAMIFFER – Complete Work On Collaboration
Two of the most prominent artists within the ambient/experimental music genre today, namely LOCRIAN and MAMIFFER, have completed work on their anticipated debut collaboration album. One that seemed inevitable to happen.
Entitled “Bless Them That Curse You”, the album is a meticulous observation and marriage of both bands’ signature styles, an experiment that grew from the initial idea where both bands thought it would be intriguing to see what would happen if they collaborated. From LOCRIAN’s harsh and ethereal drawn out vast soundscapes and MAMIFFER’s elegant chamber-like cinematic manifestations, “Bless Them That Curse You” is a carefully crafted…
