ColdWorld – Autumn

coldworld

The eight years since ColdWorld’s debut Melancholie² has only served to increase the attention on Georg Börner’s one man project, and while the somewhat enigmatic German hadn’t outright said the band was over, the hope for a follow-up dwindled with each passing year. Melancholie²  is a record that speaks of emptiness, despair and sadness and is often deemed a starting point for anyone interested in depressive black metal. It’s by no means perfect, but the atmosphere that is captured is one of an artist using his medium to guide him through moments of anguish and with new record, Autumn, that feeling is wrought in ever more stunning ways.

This One Time, On bandcamp……

cherylprimeLeave a comment

So, bandcamp. A site more and more artists are using in order to distribute their music digitally. It’s a nice little set-up with bands able to either give the music away for free, for a sum decided by the consumer or for a reasonable set price. If the band give you the option of paying what you want, you should probably donate a small amount. Be cool.

Here’s some pretty awesome bands that are doing just that. Check them out, you won’t regret it !

Cheryl Prime Attempts A ┼op ┼en Favovrite Albvms Ov The Year So Far List.

It’s nearly the middle of the year. And what better way to celebrate than with a nice list of brilliant albums that have come out already. There’s probably better ways to celebrate this passage of time, but it’s a Sunday and I can’t be bothered. I could easily have expanded this list to a top twenty. But that seemed like a lot of effort.

This list will be alphabetical, for the sake of fairness. And also because it’s too hard to choose a number one. Sorry.

Oskoreien – Oskoreien

cherylprimeLeave a comment

I first heard about Oskoreien after acquiring a pretty sweet compilation album by the name of Der Wanderer über Dem Nebelmeer. The title is taken from a famous painting, The Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog, translated obviously. And also a Wolves In The Throne Room track. And if you know anything about Wolves In The Throne Room, then you’ll have a rough idea about what kind of musical stylings to expect from Oskoreien.

1. Illusions Perish

2. Entropic Collapse

3. River Of Eternity

4. Transcendence

5. Ashen Remains
