[especially now as they won't be gigging any more.]

Watching footage of Rebirth from Oration earlier this year that's up on YouTube.  I was glad to have caught them live last year especially now as they won't be gigging any more.  On one hand it's a shame but on the other hand it makes that gig all the more special.

That's unfortunate but understandable. Recreating that type of music live must be very difficult.

Tabernaculum took me a while to get my head around but there are certainly some great songs on it - The First Born of the Dead is my favourite by far. Still have to explore their back catalogue.

Any thoughts? Gaining plenty of traction on social media. White-Gluz and Gossow come across as complete shites, but I guess that's hardly breaking news.

Half way through the second song now. Both sound great!

Haven't really kept up with them since Guthmer's Hahl. Plenty to explore by the looks of things.

Shame indeed that the label is calling it a day, they've uncovered some killer material over the last few years.

Serpent Column's release was the one I was anticipating the most. The debut last year was killer and this new one sounds very good too - on second listen currently. The transitions sound a bit more seamless now and there's some nice acoustic pieces in among the chaos.

The Acathexis LP is also of interest because the chap from Mare Cognitum is involved (he is also setting up his own label now apparently). But will probably give everything a listen at some stage.
