Welcome to Part II. This was a project dear to my heart. While our main musical outlet is still black metal, all of us are listening to a lot of different genres and I am always fascinated by the emotional impact other forms of music can have on my soul. This is an experiment. To walk outside of the known paths, to search for other means of expression and to look at our songs of “Knochengesänge” from a different angle. We tried to tear everything down to its basic core and to create something new and different from the ruins of these songs. Every tune on this record has its root in Part I, but at least for some of it the ruins were reformed into something completely different. The idea and the feeling at its core are still the same, but the result hopefully gives you a different perspective. We know this record is a challenge. To you, the listeners. But it also was a challenge for us.
Gatefold LP
Two years after their sophomore “Cosmic Terror”, Germany’s THE SPIRIT once again delve into the vast nothingness of the universe, while capturing the fear of the unknown and humanity’s insignificance within our cosmos in their sound. On their upcoming third offering, “Of Clarity and Galactic Structures”, the duo, consisting of Matthias Trautes (vocals, guitars, bass) and Manuel Steitz (drums), hold on to their black/death metal roots yet take the progressive elements to a whole new level. Whilst the predecessor from 2019 already contained some prog elements, the brain twisting rhythm changes and virtuosic instrumental performance became an essential part of the band’s universe.
Once again recorded and mixed at the Woodshed Studio, Germany by V. Santura (with the drums being tracked at Iguana Studios by Christoph Brandes), THE SPIRIT’s lyrics usually mix a general misanthropic view on the world with cosmic metaphors and the call to see our often narrow-minded and egocentric existence in the larger context of our whole universe, where none of our daily struggles and vanities ever matter. To distance oneself from this attitude and see the bigger picture can often lead to new clarity, and this thought inspired the album title.
For „Dornenvögel“ mastermind J.J. (vocalist of Harakiri for the sky) invited a lot of guest musicians from Lunar Aurora, Downfall of Gaia, Ellende, Ancst, Amer, fut and Instant Karma to participate with guest vocals on the album.
