While many casual observers might be tempted to conveniently categorize its style as black metal, Ysengrin has in fact adopted a more varied compositional, instrumental, and vocal approach that the band itself has dubbed Hermetic Dark Metal.\u003cbr\u003e\nBeginning with a first installment in this latter half of 2015 and continuing into 2016, Ysengrin has dedicated itself to further and perhaps more profound exploration of its hermetic foundations through the release of a series of four 12\" split records with co-conspirators Black Grail, Sartegos, Stargazer, and Inconcessus Lux Lucis, under the conjoined auspices of I, Voidhanger Records and Nuclear War Now! Productions. As a musical and artistic reflection of the way that alchemy was once invoked as a vehicle by which the natural processes of our world could be augmented in order to realize the practitioner's -Great Work, -this series promises to result in Ysengrin's collaborative magnum opus. Each of the four releases represents a different classical element – Nigredo (earth),Albedo (water), Citrinitas (air), and Rubedo (fire) - the sum of which comprise the fundamentals from which all physical manifestations are constructed. In order to present these works in the most befitting manner possible, Croatian artist Marko Marov was once again summoned to provide his inimitable vision as accompaniment throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNigredo (blackness, decomposition), the first step on the path towards the alchemist's ultimate goal, involves the reduction of all ingredients to a uniform black matter via a process of accelerated decomposition. The first split release in this series, entitled Nigrum Nigrius Nigro and offered jointly by Ysengrin and Black Grail - and set for international release on December 1st via I, Voidhanger Records and Nuclear War Now! on vinyl LP format only - appropriately reflects this putrefaction of the Materia Prima by featuring four of Ysengrin's darkest recorded tracks to date, along with a single, hauntingly dynamic, 14-plus-minute song from Black Grail, which suitably follows its well-received debut album from earlier this year. In addition to including two tracks with guest vocals by A. Deathmonger (Charon, Hatespawn), the Ysengrin material also represents the band's final recordings with rhythm guitars (future recordings will include only bass guitar in this respect). As one more snapshot in the continued development of Ysengrin's originality, combined with its provision of another glimpse of one of Chile's most promising current offspring, this release would serve inarguably well on its own. That fact notwithstanding, Nigrum Nigrius Nigro further broadens its appeal by ominously portending the remaining three rituals in the alchemist's repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Odyssey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49508353540373,"sku":"IVR047","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9900\/0853\/files\/IVR047_c49290a2-877a-4333-8e04-fbb3b368a388.jpg?v=1761913929"},{"product_id":"proton-burst-la-nuit-lp-1","title":"Proton Burst - La Nuit LP","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eI, Voidhanger Records is proud to present the long-awaited reissue of a cult metal album from the 90s: \"La Nuit\" by PROTON BURST, a 6-movement adaptation of French master Philippe Druillet's comic-masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecially remastered for CD and vinyl, the original album is accompanied by an unreleased live recording from the 1995 Saint Amand Rock Festival featuring an extended version of the work, and by the historic 14-minute demo from 1993 that PROTON BURST presented to Druillet to get his blessing for the project.

The body is a prison, a space tomb that is both a place of torture and a portal to other dimensions, as sinister and unsettling as 0ndes' cover drawing.

These 'panspermic warlords' plant their seed of life on uninhabited planets, an act not conducted with noble intentions, but rather for the sole purpose of inhabiting as much of the universe as possible with their seed. In this way, the creation of life is equated to an act of war. People and civilizations that arise from this process are thus exposed to an existence that is inherently futile.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhile some tracks on \"Panspermic Warlords\" explore this concept, in others WYRGHER directly or indirectly describe the associated themes.

Thanks to a multifaceted yet consistent style and a songwriting skill that has further refined in recent years, CRATOPHANE's music is a sonic journey full of surprises. \"These are compositions that fall into the realm of a kind of instrumental, psychedelic, and cosmic prog metal,\" the band says, \"in a spirit somewhere between BLIND IDIOT GOD and PELICAN, but played by fans of VOIVOD and ALUK TODOLO, with a mix of zeuhl-style melodies and many very dissonant, even noisy passages. In other words, a sort of RUSSIAN CIRCLES on LSD, trapped in an inhospitable parallel dimension.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nThe album is mainly inspired by the worlds of science fiction comics by Moebius, Druillet, Enki Bilal, Frederik Peeters, Jeff Lemire and François Schuiten, among the others, of which CRATOPHANE's music therefore aspires to be a soundtrack.

With already two self-released albums under its belt (“Inquiétudes” in 2018, and “Contes Funèbres” in 2019) in less than a year of existence, the band returns with a new full-length, “Ex Cathedra”, an eccentric work exuding art and culture from each groove.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe project of sole member Raphaël Fournier, CREATURE is a mighty, undefinable and slightly worrying beastly entity with ever shifting and blurry contours which leave the flabbergasted listener in awe. Rooted in the avant-garde and symphonic black metal from the 90s as much as it is in classic epic prog, CREATURE's music is intrepid and elegant, not bound by any genre, rule nor norm. Taking cues also from Baroque, 60s-80s French pop, classical music, fanfare, French poetry and a whole life of listening to music of all kinds, Fournier's brew features intricate orchestrations of inventive guitars, thunderous rhythms, heavy bass, majestic keyboards, horns and choirs. His work truly carries the stigmas of a Leonardesque genius applied to a musical score, because of the constant tension between an exuberant creative research and an evident love for classical canons of ideal beauty and formal perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\nDespite the meticulous arrangements and the complex geometric shapes exhibited, “Ex Cathedra” is surprisingly coherent and by no means a collage of sounds, nor a genre-hopping mess. Fournier has digested all of his influences to create his own progressive black metal style, his spectacular songwriting holding everything together in a natural way. Accompanied by soul-clenching lyrics, the music breathes, expands and contracts before soaring to unexpected heights, towards an oneiric hyperuranion where gorgeous melodies and atmospheres of cosmic beauty await.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternately energetic, thrilling, poetic and melancholic (often all at once), CREATURE's “Ex Cathedra” stays always surprising and inebriating, with a sense of grandeur pervading it all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Odyssey","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49508654645525,"sku":"IVR132LP-BLACK","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gold","offer_id":49508655661333,"sku":"IVR132LP-GOLD","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9900\/0853\/files\/IVR132_82ee9c30-d825-4cf0-876f-07b02a3ab27c.jpg?v=1761916570"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9900\/0853\/collections\/Vinyl_Records.png?v=1786118074","url":"https:\/\/tornfromthegrave.us\/collections\/ivr-lp.oembed?page=3","provider":"Torn from the Grave US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
