Selling vinyl - Extreme Metal and Dark music
“The Long Defeat” unfolds over three parallel storylines told via three different mediums. Two in writing: the lyrics, as well as a fable. The third speaks through the artwork – two metres’ worth of maniacally detailed visions depicting the same premise its written content draws from. All three are fundamentally entwined but diverging in narrative, each complementing or contradicting the others.
Black vinyl, 6 panels folded booklet.
Gatefold cover with 2-sided poster and insert.
White Vinyl
Green, white & black marbled 12" double vinyl in deluxe gatefold (with linen laminate) with 2 double-sided inserts.
Limited to 350 copies worldwide.
There are few funeral doom bands out there that manage to express sorrow and despair in such a majestic and beautiful manner as Finland's SHAPE OF DESPAIR.
SHAPE OF DESPAIR’s latest full-length is a product of their environment, enveloping the listener in cold, eternal darkness like a lonely Finnish winter. And much like the long, funereal winters of their homeland, the atmosphere in ‘Return to the Void’ is bleak but ethereal.
The funeral doom icons do not merely offer a soundtrack to one’s agony, but also demonstrate the beauty that can often be found in misery.
For fans of FUNERAL, MOURNFUL CONGREGATION, BELL WITCH, AHAB, SKEPTICISM.
