2023 reissue

Ambient, dark ambient, drone

Emerging from the edge of the ancient forests of the Veluwe, Solar Temple offers their debut full length. 'Fertile Descent' lures you in with its direct yet swirling black metal impression and unique approach. Like something sinuous at the edge of your vision but not quite perceivable, the two tracks of this album twist and bend with a dizzying ferocity. Pummeling sounds entwined with a distant echo that also feels warm and inviting.

Discomforting, haunting and ethereal Black Metal, Manii holds the spirit of the early 90s, yet with that extra unintelligible facet that made Manes into the band most of us know and worship.

Manii harnesses layers and levels, which musically invoke a level of malaise that isn't easy to portray. An unappeasable expression of the desperation of existence, and the ever reaching depth of the scorn of self...

STRIDZIE DNI ("THE WITCHING DAYS") is a celebration of the countryside in Western Slovakia, with all its grotesque myths and lore. All lyrics are written in local dialect and they mostly deal with folklore legends based on rural witchcraft, drunkenness and also national pride.
Like the Slovak soul itself, these songs are often both grim and humorous, merry and melancholic at the same time.

Are you in for some time travelling? Legendary thrash/deathers Messiah from Switzerland invite you to their rehearsal space to listen to some original recordings from the years 1985-1987. ?Space Invaders? is a journey to the roots of Messiah and reflects their joy of experimentation at that time. All rehearsal recordings have not yet been released and represent some of the songs the way they sounded at the time of composition - and that is often quite different to what they sounded on Messiah?s much-loved debut albums ?Hymn to Abramelin? and ?Extreme Cold Weather?. The rehearsal recordings on ?Space Invaders? are on the one hand a historical document, and on the other hand the instrumental tracks "Maleus Maleficarum" and "The Urologue", which have not yet been released, show what might have happened to MESSIAH if they had not disbanded. Unfortunately, there were no more recordings of vocalist Tschösi's vocals/screams to be found. Nevertheless, the songs give a good impression of what their music would have sounded like after "Extreme Cold Weather". Uninfluenced by the rather sobering reviews of the "renowned metal press", Messiah at that time simply continued to play as they pleased. What is also important: These old recordings from the 80s and have nothing to do with the "noise line-up" of the 90s, with which Messiah are now active again. The restoration of the audio material was done by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony and the artwork was realized by André Türoff, who has done cover artworks for many well-known bands, such as Exumer, Protector and Infernäl Mäjesty. Guitarist Brögi added some new liner-notes, which try to explain why Messiah were fated to disband ? but they are back! Messiah have freshly reunited and will play their first gig in ages in September 2019 ? but that?s a different story ...

Över was formed as a result of an immediate friendship between Þórir (Nyss) and 78424331 (Morto, Nihilisticon, Inhottavuus) at the end of the year 2017
After establishing a great trust they began to work on these songs and as they began to work on lyrics and music, they both realized that it would be better to create a new project because of the force they caused in their thoughts and ideas.
Thus arises this powerful but melancholic band. More than traditional black metal, it is music created from the root of all mental pains, but finds power in spiritual strength and transcendence after a long and tedious journey that is summarized in depression. Everything, one day will be over.
That is where Över resides.
