Title: Procession of Spectres - Black Death Doom (Cork)
Post by: keeper of kalessin on September 02, 2020, 09:01:22 PM
Me and a few lads recorded this last year and it's finally seeing the light of day now. A limited run of tapes will follow early next week if anyone is an analogue man! 3 songs of black death and doom influence, hope ye enjoy.

Savage stuff, will definitely pick up a tape.

There's a serious wave of creativity comming out of Cork lately. Fair play.

Very cool stuff there. Nice Below The Lights vibe so far.

Artwork is very similar to the new Armagedda. What's it from?

Well spotted! Was made aware of this after being sent to print. The armagedda version is Erik danielsons manipulated version of this original wood carving called starvation.

Nabbed a tape. Not sure from the initial listen if it's my buzz but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Could grow on me.

Ah glad you received it safe and sound.  Sent off another batch yesterday should should all be arriving before the end of the week.

I got one from the batch sent yesterday so thanks a million.

The tape is indeed a thing of beauty! Don't think I've ever seen such an effort in producing a physical tape package with the outer sleeve, regular cover with different artwork and detailed cassette print. Does the music justice rather than making up for any shortcomings.

Seeing the line up initials confirms my suspicions about
the bang off track 3 from the 90 second mark  :)

Class release all in all, nicely done.

Tape arrived, as said great job with the presentation. The note on the tape itself was a cool touch.

Painting on the inlay is Gorta by Lilian Lucy Davidson

That painting is done by an Irish artists called Lillian Davidson from the late 1800's. I seen it in an famine exhibition in Skibbereen a few years back and was one of the main inspirations for the music.

Giving the tape it's first spin through my stereo and,  fair fucks, it sounds massive. Very immersive production on that. Glad I grabbed a copy as it is making more sense to me now with the full whack of the production behind it.

Edit. Deadly wandering basslines happening at the minute. Reminiscent of VBE.

Title: Re: Procession of Spectres - Black Death Doom (Cork)
Post by: keeper of kalessin on September 10, 2020, 02:30:39 PM
The production is all thanks to Shauny Cads from Last Light Recording anyways, nailed the sound for us. Arthur Rizk (eternal champiuon) did bang up job on the mastering too. Yah we will play live when everything goes back to normal, looking forward to it actually! Wont over do it though as we all have other bands on the go.

You could have about 8 bands on that bill and would only need around 10 musicians!

Thanks for the interest lads. Daithi who runs Fomorian Hate also did samples for this release and plays live with us on bass. I know he's a busy man, he's getting gigging with his own band Hasturian Vigil and filled in on bass for Sacrilegia on their recent dates abroad too... might just be easing off for a while!
