'To Hold Onto A Heartless Heart' 
by  
Mekigah 

The fifth album (and first in 7 years) by Australian experimental doom band Mekigah was recently released by the legendary European metal label Aesthetic Death, and features SL on guitar throughout. 

Complex, challenging and highly experimental, 'To Hold Onto A Heartless Heart' presents 6 tracks of weaving, sludging, borderline-industrial doom metal, repellent with dissonant textures and dark ambient atmospherics. Sova Locus contributed guitar to around half the album, mixing tremolo picking with slow paced down-tuned guitar that was then manipulated and mixed in together with the plethora of other instruments and signals. 

A true honor to have contributed to this gem of an album and to listen back with an incredibly well-mastered production by Greg Chandler (of legendary doom band Esoteric). CD comes as fold-out digipack, featuring artwork and drawings by Mekigah. 

Composed, recorded & mixed by Vis Ortis & L.R in Tasmania. 
Mastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Studios  
Additional Guitars by Sova Locus & Richard Ziltch 
Extra chants by AP & Con BCTW  
Chainsaw by Sammy
Saw & additional backing vocals by PRT

Released by AD (CD/Digital)

Primal Regression Therapy 'Orchestral Oneirology' (CASSETTE/DIGITAL)

'Orchestral Oneirology' 
by
Primal Regression Therapy 
Released by Hyper Chaos
Tapes (Cassette/Digital)

Throughout 2022 Primal Regression Therapy sporadically worked on a plethora of material that eventually became two albums; 'Orchestral Oneirology' is the first to be complete and released. The album continues the meditative tones of 2021's Astral Agnosia but introduces darker and more formless structures, utilizing the saxophone and trumpet to layer atmospherics on top of the core-band members playing. By now a performing member of the band, SL contributed synths and percussion to the composition of the album, as well as completing the mix and master based on an initial mix by bandmate Sky Black. 

Released by Melbourne based Hyperchaos Tapes, the initial pressing was highly limited to 15 copies, which are all currently sold out. The album can still be heard on Bandcamp and purchased digitally there.
