Originally issued as a cassette EP, Plague Harvest encrypts the further transformation into pure dark ambience. Field recordings yanked from the trees like dead leaves mix with streams of electronics running beneath the soil. Included also is a bonus 10" of Ruination, The New Dawn Cometh , which was previously only available digitally, exposing again a precursor and foreshadowing of this cautionary tale that what sustains life can easily grow to smother it. Yellow paper jacket invokes the spirit of the original dead cassette.
The third album by the enigmatic Old Tower titled “The Last Eidolon” tells a sombre story of a kingdom laid to waste by its own creator through the corruption of dark magic and possession of destructive spirits. Because of wrongful decisions, spiritual rebellion and the misuse of ancient yet dangerous practices these malevolent forces started to turn against the enchanter. And so fell his once proud and powerful dominion. What was once great has now been reduced to a hollow manifestation of its old self. The long and weary process of reclaiming its former glory has begun...
Throughout the “Grim Alchemy” trilogy, smithed in conspiracy with the mighty Hospital Productions, The Specter meticulously crafted his own style of medieval dark ambient. “The Last Eidolon” is an elongation but also a new direction of this concept and will take the listener on a desolate journey spanning three, long chapters. Faded memories of a dark past will shimmer in and out of existence throughout these epic compositions yet the energy of renewal is flowing from the fountains of the old kingdom.
