'Split'

by

Arcanum AZF/K​Ø​VVNS

Arcanum AZF have released a brand-new split with US based ambient soundscape/dark ambient project KØ​VVNS (based in Portland, US) via High Mage Productions (Colorado, US) on small edition tape and digital. 

AZF's three tracks continue the sonic explorations of black and sludge metal whilst furthering the projects experiments with noise and dark ambient elements explored on 'Ades Draconis'. O.M. provides vocals on the opening track, amid washes of black metal inspired noise. 

The singular KØ​VVNS track explores ritualistic dronescapes, incorporating wide ranging string and 'traditional instrument' playing with field recordings and electronic sounds. Together, the four tracks show unique yet interconnected approaches to marrying sound art with music. 

High Mage Productions have put together an amazing print of tapes (limited to 20), available through their Bandcamp page. The split is also available to purchase digitally.

'Luciferian Majesty'

by

Akanda

The debut EP 'Luciferian Majesty' by Blackwave/electronic act Akanda is out now via the band's Bandcamp page. It is also available to listen to on Spotify and via the YouTube channel 'Antifascist Black Metal Network'. 

'Luciferian Majesty' combines elements of raw black metal (screaming, riffs and aesthetics) with sonic qualities of electronic music. All songs, rather than featuring guitar and 'traditional' black metal instruments, featuring programmed beats, synths and a combination of clean and metal vocals. 

Sova Locus completed rough additional mixing on the EP, in the members of Akanda's kitchen, mirroring the aesthetic lo-fi qualities of the album. Listen-backs were completed on a cheap Bluetooth speaker. 

Akanda features members of Primal Regression Therapy, Arcanum AZF and many other projects.
