Avantgarde Music

Tracks 1-7 are from "The Masters Empire".
Tracks 8-13 are from the "Ritual of Intolerance & Hatred" rehearsal in 2007.

"The Masters Intolerant Empire" is a compilation which has the second Drowning the Light album "The Masters Empire" on it, as well as the "Ritual of Intolerance & Hatred" rehearsal on it.
Out on CD through Dark Adversary Productions.

"The Masters Empire" has had a few incarnations, this one being its most ferocious;
Originally recorded in 2006 and only sent to a few contacts under the title "The Masters Call" it excluded the track "Waltz of Decay and Pestilence".
Later "The Masters Empire" was part of the "9 years 9 months" Asgard Musik box set (limited to 99), this time as a split with Sabnack.
Then in 2009-2010 "The Masters Empire" was finally released as it was originally intended, as a stand alone full length.

Now over 7 years have passed, and "The Masters Empire" is unleashed again, this time in its ultimate form, with the "Ritual of Intolerance & Hatred" rehearsal from 2007 as a bonus.

Obscure Abhorrence

Collection of unreleased, rare and split release tracks from powerhouse of Australian black metal. Designed for the completist fan, Amongst the Bones... captures all facets of the Drowning the Light style from ambient material to welcome the dawn to blood drawing black metal. With most compositions occurring between 2007 and 2009, the gathering provides the first ever CD issue of several highly sought after recordings as well as a peek into the early development of ideas which would later be fleshed out into finished tracks.

After "Varcolaci Rising", DTL is back on the path to the next full length (the one originally planned after "From the Abyss"), entitled "Conquer or Serve".
This path however is not a silent one.
Thus the "Paradise Slaves" EP is recorded, delving into the weakness of mankind being slaves to their delusions of paradise, enslaved by feeble dogmas of corrosive and crumbling belief systems, as well as exploring the darker mindset that some serial killers have expressed, that those they kill will become their slaves in the afterlife.

This EP is one of raw & melancholic Black Metal.

Gatefold, Black Vinyl

Originally shown the light of earth in 2008, The Serpents Reign marks a period of development and definition for Australia's Drowning the Light. Full of brooding melancholy, the ten tracks exude a hollow atmosphere and darkness that is on one hand a stark empty embrace and on the other a fully satisfy journey down the hole of despair.
