VENENUM 'Trance of Death' LP / Digi-CD
(FLAME107)
and released in conspiracy with Sepulchral Voice Rex
The German band has been crafting this one for over 5 years and, as they say, the wait was worth every minute. The intensity of the last work is still present , but this one offers a bit more range of emotion and exploration. Some compare it to 'DMDS' era Mayhem of 'Sworn' era Watain, while others find expressions reminiscent of 'Formulas' era Tribulation or Morbus Chron. Others note hints of Pink Floyd in so far as the range of this one is way beyond that of most Death Metal albums. 50 minutes of music in a gatefold jacket.

ALUK TODOLO 'archives vol. 1' LP format only
(FLAME106)
and released in collaboration with Temple of Torturous
'archives vol. 1' is "comprised of rarities, B-sides, and unheard tracks that chart the first ten years of the band’s existence."
The band continues, " “We selected those tracks, because they were still in our consciousness after all these years. We approached the release as a whole, assembled the tracks focussing on dynamic, like we did for our latest studio album Voix (instead of making it chronological). For us it’s a way to revisit our 10 first years, and use recordings we made on our own, be it rehearsal tracks, or work-in-progress steps, rare tracks releases or just experimentations."
ALUK TODOLO just finished performing two nights at Stardust Fest and a string of west coast dates. They will be on tour in Europe with Oranssi Pazuzu in April with a performance of 'Voix' at Roadburn.

Lucifer Rising Side A 17:36

Lucifer Rising Side A 17:36
Lucifer Rising Side B 25:59
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Full length LP with printed inner sleeve and spot gloss jacket.
BACKGROUND:
In 1966, Bobby BeauSoleil is performing music in San Francisco and meets Kenneth Anger. Anger and Bobby agree to work together. Some music is made, some darkness befalls the scene, the two fall out. Forward to 1969, the year that Bobby ends up in prison. Anger moves ahead and in 1972 he turns to Jimmy Page to take over making the music for his film, but this pairing is doomed to fail. Ultimately the original Lucifer, Bobby, reconnects with Kenneth. Things coalesce in 1976 when, with the consent of the prison authorities, Bobby records the Lucifer Rising music with other inmates of the facilities of Tracy, CA. It’s not until 1980 that the originally pressing on LP of Lucifer Rising in an edition of 1000 copies.
Several variations of the soundtrack pop up in the ensuing years, but it is not until 2009 that an elaborate presentation of the complete Lucifer Rising Suite as a 4 album boxset manifest, with the original release and session recordings related to the original soundtrack sessions.
“When I composed and recorded the soundtrack for a reconceptualized Lucifer Rising a decade after the first abandoned attempt I drew on my own life experiences to tell the story in music evocative of the mythical Lucifer awakening in his pit of despair, rekindling his torch, and rising like a phoenix from the ashes of his own unmaking to begin his long journey from the dark recesses of the underworld — shedding his pride along the way in his uncompromising desire to regain the Beloved.”
