Comes in a 4-panel digipack with a 12-page booklet. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

The sublime 4th full length from UK avant-Black/Death Metal band LYCHGATE advances the kinetic potency of their 2020 DMP-debut EP, "Also sprach Futura", to a frightening level of mind-mangling intensity.

"Precipice" is progressive Extreme Metal plummeting inside a black hole: scorching, twisted and transfixing. The band have upped both the dystopic prog-Death quotient and their sense of experimentation, moving with formidable, mechanised poise and a surrealist’s sense of dread.

THE FIVE SENSES OIL WORKS BY SATURNO BUTTO’

They are a series of panels, 15 in total, divided into three parts, with a common denominator, the “5 senses”, precisely. The constant of all the works of the project is undoubtedly eros, declined in three levels, starting from the beauty and sensuality of the first series, to then move on to the 5 frames of what could be a video clip in the second part, until reaching the “pornographic echoes” of the last sequence.
However, even in this last series of works (as in the previous ones) always with an attention to elegance and compositional beauty, avoiding any vulgarity.In short, it is a revisitation of the theme, according to my personal interpretation, divided into three blocks of 5 works, making use of the collaboration of 5 models.
In the first, the subjects present on each table are two and each piece corresponds to one of the 5 senses, there is no sequentiality. In the second block (ritual) the 5 models are represented for each table who in turn mark, in an ordered sequence this time, sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, as if it were an “initiatory ritual”. The third block of works sees the presence of three models for each painting who, without a precise order (exactly as in the first series) interpret, in a much more explicit key, one of the five senses for each single work.

Raw melodic black metal with a regal disposition that carries its abrasive melancholy with an assured presence. This offering from Japanese project 侍 (The Samurai) is persisting through the veils of primitive noise, producing a succession of tracks that subtly ascend towards a long-form climax that repeats a hauntingly, catchy refrain throughout. Like a morbid mantra of nihilism this is some really well-crafted, spell-binding and atmospheric raw black metal from the highest order!
