ambient

This one is a true bliss for all fans of Bohren & Der Club of Gore, The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and alike.

Hailing from Italy, Australia and Mexico, Last Call At Nightowls is an international musical collaborative group carving out a musical language through file sharing and improvisation that encompasses dark ambient, doom jazz and noir soundscapes within their debut album, to be released on March 6th, 2020, via Subsound Records.

Wardruna album release has been postponed to to January 22nd, 2021.

Brooklyn based composer/producer/performer JG Thirlwell (Foetus, Manorexia, Xordox) - who has collaborated with the likes of Zola Jesus, Melvins, Swans, Kronos Quartet and many others, and is the composer for the highly acclaimed animated TV series “Archer” and “Venture Bros” - and Swedish multi-instrumentalist and theatre music composer Simon Steensland collaborate on a new album “Oscillospira”, due out on April 24th, 2020, via Ipecac Recordings.

The Nest has released “River Mnemosyne”, the third single from their upcoming album,“Ad Astra”, on all digital platforms. This song is about a couple who worry that the man has the Alzheimer’s that runs in the family.

The band wants to use their music to make a difference, so the release coincides with the launching of a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Disease International. Vocals were recorded, and songs were mixed, by Mikko Herranen of Noise Floor studios in Helsinki.
 

From Dead can dance-like tribal atmospheres to futuristic sci-fi soundscapes, from lush and cinematic passages to a harsh distortion and massive futuristic soundscapes, the founding member and guitarist of Swedish metal masters Dark Tranquillity, Niklas Sundin, has not feared any musical borders with his first public foray into his solo-project, Mitochondrial Sun.

Progressive metal quartet Chiasmata have released the video for their latest single “Foreboding”, the third taste of their forthcoming release. 

The video for “Foreboding” explores the song title in a fitting manner. The figures represented by the band appear misrepresented against the beautiful landscapes that provide the setting for this piece. Unable to shake the feeling that something is wrong, it becomes abundantly clear that this release deals with a struggle of powerlessness. 

15 years ago an unknown band from Ireland released their sophomore album “All is Violent, All is Bright”.

The album captured the imagination of the underground youth and gained the band a worldwide Cult following.
 
2020 will see God Is An Astronaut for the first time perform the entire album from beginning to end.
