Dathura Suavolens - Averni (2010)


Tracklist:

1- Offering
2- Evocare
3- Zazas Zazas
4- Rei da Encruzilhada

 "Having been contacted by those responsible for this new musical project, i was curious about what it was, and i must indicated that this is a very interesting musical work. Dathura Suavolens is a join project conceived by members of a Brazilian Coven (Falciferi Cathedrals) associated to traditional Witchcraft, having as main objective the creation of sounds for use in magic rituals.The sound created wanders by the experimentalism adorned with tribal rhythms, using music and songs of magical practices typically Brazilian (usually the Kimbanda and Catimbó) fused with dark ambient atmospheres. The project name comes from the plant Datura Suavolens, plant that the Aztecs used to start the men at maturity and in the mysteries of Mother Nature.This work envisions and advocates the use of Word and Silence in magical practice"

Tzolk'in - Tonatiuh (2010)





Tracklist:

01. Tonatiuh
02. Quetzacoatl
03. Mictlantecuhtli
04. Tezcatlipoca
05. Tlazolteotl
06. Xipe Totec
07. Nanahuatzin

Tzolk'ins third album's concept is the aural implementation of aztec mythology's deities. besides tonatiuh as the title, the gods chosen by the flint glass / empusae collaboration are: quetzalcoatl (the god of arts, crafts and knowledge, mictlantecuhtli (god of the dead and the king of the lowest and northernmost section of the underworld), tezcatlipoca (a central deity, associated with a wide range of concepts including the night sky, hurricanes, obsidian, enmity, discord, governance, divination, temptation, sorcery, beauty, war and strife), tlazolteotl (a goddess of filth, sin, vice, and sexual misdeeds), xipe totec ('our lord the flayed one', a life-death- rebirth deity), nanahuatzin ('the sun god', represented as a man emerging from a fire, originally interpreted as an illustration of cannibalism).


The idea that people were servants of the gods was a theme that ran through aztec mythology. humans had the responsibility of keeping the gods fed - otherwise, disaster could strike at any time. the food of the gods was a precious substance found in human blood. the need to satisfy the gods, especially the sun god, gave rise to a related theme: human sacrifice. from the onset, the listener is immersed into an inner vision of beauty, atrocity. darkness, emotional soundscapes, ambient spheres and pounding rhythmic patterns. overall the effect is that of fusing meditative tribal atmospheres with dark voids. ceremonial deep tones merge with dark ambient industrial music - which is all kept together by tribalistic electronic grooves and acoustic percussion. once again tzolk'in achieves musical, technical and spiritual success without sacrificing critical artistic engagement with apocalyptic motifs. tonatiuh is an idiosyncratic, ritualistic vision of post-industrial divination.
translating the atmosphere of an ancient mythic age for the listener of today - while perfectly using today's technology.

TenHornedBeast - Hunts & Wars (2010)


Tracklist:

1. Reaching For The Stars We Blind The Sky
2. Hilnaric
3. Father Of The Frosts
4. Ironborn
5. I Am The Spearhead
6. Season Of Wars
7. Hunts & Wars

Hunts & Wars is another great release from Christopher Walton. The first twelve minutes are "Reaching for the Stars We Blind the Sky" which after about five minutes introduces some strong percussion and drumming adding a new dimension to previous drone tracks. This makes for an interesting listen - at some points itfelt like Walton was going to introduce a massive drum solo. The track eventually filters out into a distorted drone. Hilnaric takes us outdoors with some birdsong looming into darker ambience. This track sounds different from previous TenHornedBeast compositions.


"Hunts & Wars" has moved on from previous recordings and is sounding more atmospheric bordering on some dark ambient themes. The nineteen minute outro, that is the title track, leaves me feeling I have listened to an album that feels more mature than previous work, although I really enjoy listening to albums like "My Horns Are a Flame to Draw down the Truth" and "The Sacred Truth".

1. Chapter I: Damballah Wedo (I. The Whispering Soil, II. The Serpent) (36:12)
2. Chapter II: Ayida Wedo (I. Rising Through Earth, II. The Rainbow) (39:24)


Kaniba's Dark Ambient Presence Will Absorb and Shroud the Listener into a Reverie...A Blanket of Fog and Mist That Does Not Give Way. Thematically, The Serpent is of the Earth and Shub-Niggurath; the Womb of all, the grave of all. Life and Death, creation and destruction, the Alpha and the Omega. The Serpent represents the return to the Source from whence Kaniba came, as Terrorgoat, and a reflection upon the journey from that moment to what is now. It is a union of old and new elements, of old and new themes. The Serpent represents good and evil, light and dark; the giver and taker of life. The Serpent celebrates Life as the gift which comes from the womb of Shub-Niggurath, and The Serpent celebrates Death as the sacrifice craved by the jaws of Shub-Niggurath. The Serpent is the grave, which is a womb, The Serpent is the birth occuring through demise. The Serpent is the undoing of death, and the elevation of the soul that is ascendancy. Most of all, The Serpent is the end.

Michael W. Ford - Lilith - Rituals of Night (WMA)


The Rituals of Lilith provides a powerful working for any Left Hand Path or Luciferian practitioner who seeks the Adversarial Spirit of Lilith. Called the Mother of Demons, Lilith is explored within a Sonic Black Magick or Ritualistic Context. Numerous sounds associated with Lilith are presented here as powerful aspects to accompany invocations or astral workings towards Lilith. The Music compositions by Michael W. Ford explore dark ambience, ritual soundscapes blending with middle eastern influenced music. Invocations performed by Satrina, a Priestess of The Order of Phosphorus are woven in delicate and murderous tones to give honor to She who Devours and Creates. This recording also features the horrific terror-noise track “KALI - The Rite of Vagina Denata” as an apocalyptic outro. Ritual Workings with limited voices with ghostlike soundscapes, daemonic and beastlike sounds, machinery and human bones fuel the ritual recording of LILITH - Rituals of Night.

Michael W. Ford - Ahrimanic Yoga & the Law of Staota (lecture - WMA)



A lecture by Michael W. Ford on the process of Ahrimanic Yoga - a luciferian perspective and practice on yoga, sorcery and the Law of Staota, or vibration and sonic Black Magick. Based on Luciferian Witchcraft and Liber HVHI. A 35 minute lecture spoken by Michael describes the foundations of magickal practice in regards to preparation via the Chakras from a Luciferian perspective, leading to the Law of Vibrations, the focus of sound in ritual to align the mind to Will to Flesh.

Michael W. Ford - Malkuth - Nahemoth (Qlippothic Meditation)



MALKUTH - NAHEMOTH is a ritualistic recording for the exclusive working of Luciferians entering The Order of Phosphorus or working solo with the Qlippothic sphere of Black Earth, whose Goddess is Nahemoth. Sonic Black Magick designed to assist in meditations, astral projection, establishing real world goals and your foundation of primal id. Track one explores sonic satanick ecstasy, the therionick aspects of the shadow and the desires which should manifest in the earth. Track two is structured around middle eastern drumming for trance and the symbolism of the Dance, sacred to Nahemoth and Lilith. Ideal for Sexual Magick as well.

Aeshades - Nigredo and Thagirion (2009)





Nigredo and Thagirion is an Archetypal fusion of various Ritual Dark Ambient tracks that seeks to break the boundaries of consciousness and perceptions. The project has come into being with the specific purpose of sonic induction into a state of “nothingness” during meditation – Shunyata. Shunya trascends the mere nothingness, void or emptiness – It is the Adamas Ater, a state of Trascendence beyond openess, only described by negations : Neither Movement nor non-Movement nor both Movement and non-Movement nor something other than Movement and non-Movement.

A Reality beyond everything that embraces, includes, destroyes and transcends all.

Splendid collaborative work between Gustaf Hildebrand and Amanda Votta, Lacus Somniorum emerged as a mutual desire to convey a suggestive concept of what lies hidden and unseen by the eyes of modern civilization--beneath the waves in murky chasms, or perhaps in places not anchored within our concept of reality. Airy flutes and choirs hover above sometimes distant, rumbling sound textures, hinting of corroded machinery and unseen presences but also emphasizing a sense of serenity and peace of mind. The underlying concept is not fear of the unknown, but rather of a hidden beauty within those places where none of us will ever venture.

"Inspired by murder ballads and traditional Folk songs of death, Death Songs draws from a rich and incredibly powerful tradition, re-creating the darkness of age-old Appalachian murder ballads in an Industrialised Dark Ambient/Drone-form. Death Songs is the beautiful death, the terrible death, the welcome death, the unexpected death. It is murdering your own child in cold blood, it is beating your lover to death with a stick of wood, it is dying slowly and painfully from a disease, it is the quick and peaceful death in your sleep. Death Songs explores the grand mystery of death in all its aspects. At the same time, it is a 'Death Song' in an even more literal sense, being the last chapter of Kaniba."

This is the new doublealbum, and possibly the last, that will be released as Nordvargr. Henrik has expressed that he has nothing left to give as a darkambient composer, so this might be his final stand.
Disc one of Evolution is firmly rooted in classic Nordvargr territories — darkambient but with a slight MZ. 412 touch, as it has some more bombastic and noisy elements to it than what we are used to hear from him. Disc two is divided in two parts — first 8 tracks from the


AVART sessions ("Music for movement").


Part two is four tracks which are more "elektronika"-styled tracks, and shows another side of his personality.

Evolution is best described in Nordvargr´s own words:


"Evolution contains elements of music I have recorded over the last ten years as well as completely new material. If you are familiar with my previous albums you will find sounds you have heard before, but in a new setting. But Evolution is not to be confused with a "best of" album — it is a distilled and refined album of my inner visions and feelings, filtered through my past to show the future, and possibly the end."
