News:
- 12/31/2011: it's been a pretty quiet year for us. In fact, it's
been nearly 2 years since our last release...but we finally have some news to
report. The three new Ars Magna releases, new material from BOSSE, TRIST,
LONESUMMER and the debut from KLOR, are just about here! The official
release date for each is January 13 but, for the first time ever, we will accept
pre-orders beginning today!! Each of these releases is available
separately through the catalog or as a specially-priced package deal: all 3
titles for $21 US/Canada or $30 anywhere else (postage paid). To purchase
the package deal, check out the Releases page. Each of these
releases should also be available for LEGAL digital download through our friends
at Metalhit.com in the coming weeks.
- we've received word that mastering of the new Canis Dirus album is nearly finished. As with the debut, our friends at Moribund will be releasing it. We are hoping for a release sometime in the spring.
- for some reason, this update is being a pain in the ass and many of the photos of releases are not loading...unfortunately, the new KLOR release is one of them. We're trying to get this shit ironed out.
- to all of our friends and supporters, we hope you have an excellent, safe holiday weekend and that 2012 is good to all of you.

5/13/10: the reviews we've seen for the recently-released Trancelike Void mCD have been overwhelmingly positive. Here's the most recent from our friends at Aquarius Records:
The Belgian
duo Trancelike Void have somehow managed to slip through the cracks here, though
at least two of us are big fans, but somehow, we've never listed on of their
records until now. Which is a shame, especially considering the current
obsession with post black metal shoegazers like Alcest, Les Discrets, Lifelover
and the like. TV are definitely black metal, but their sound is warm and lush
and blissed out, more Sigur Ros or Godspeed than Darkthrone or Immortal.
Which brings us to Where The Trees Can
Make It Rain, the latest from TV, which only furthers that sort of non black
metal vibe, in that it's wholly acoustic, just acoustic guitars and drums, two
long tracks, each, doleful and meditative, dreamy and tranquil, softly reverbed
notes ring out and hang in the air, the overtones spinning off into the ether,
the drums, simple and spare and skeletal, darkly moody and melancholic, subtly
dynamic, building to softy emotional crescendos, only to slip back into a
somnambulant drift. Clouds of strummed steel strings hover and slowly dissipate,
leaving, stray notes to flutter and fade out.
The two songs here are quite minimal,
almost like shadowy sketches of songs that could have been, which is precisely
what makes them so appealing, they're hushed and abstract and shadowy, they
drift and shimmer, flicker and fade, the sound is lush and organic, but also
fleeting, a soft sound, that manages to evoke all sorts of emotional responses,
a fleeting glimpse of some otherworld, where these hushed sounds are the
soundtrack.
