E ninguém fala disto?

ROME - Our Holy Rue/The Merchant Fleet


Gone! Gone are the days of mellow and lush ballads, it seems - for this is ROME at its rawest! As an artist Jerome Reuter remains completely unpredictable, which may come as a shock to those who discovered ROME as a Chanson Noir outfit: What you are looking for is gone for good! "Our Holy Rue" is a harsh, industrial beauty: relentless and uncompromising. And the rather folkish song "The Merchant Fleet" is an instant classic, dedicated to Jerome's brotherhood of the sea!
This release will only be available on vinyl and features two tracks from the soon-to-be-released album "A Cross Of Wheat" which is the first of the upcoming trilogy "Die Ästhetik der Herrschaftsfreiheit".

• classy black 10" vinyl
• with elaborate (laser-engraved) etching on the B-side
• coverprint on specially thick paper (300g, matt)
• exclusive 10" extended mix of "Our Holy Rue"
• strictly limited to 999 copies

Nice!

Esqueci-me de falar nisto:

:GOLGATHA: - The Horns Of Joy

Over the last few years the German group :GOLGATHA:, who were founded in 2004 as a dark ambient band, have succeeded in cultivating their own unique style via a series of ambitious concept albums and live appearances. They describe this style as ‘ritual folk’: their highly original fusion of percussive world music elements with ethereal female vocals and earthy folk songs conjures up the spirits of DEAD CAN DANCE, IN THE NURSERY and JOCELYN POOK as well as those of LEONARD COHEN, SOL INVICTUS and CURRENT 93. Sounds of enraptured beauty come up against dark ecstacies and pessimistic visions. ‘The Horns of Joy’ is dedicated to the nihilistic tendencies of the early 20th century – and their necessary overcoming.
‘The Horns of Joy’ follows their successful last album, ‘Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice’ (2007) and the neoclassical symbiosis with French collaborators DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED upon ‘Sang Graal’ (2008) and denotes a new chapter, a next stage in the development of :GOLGATHA:. ‘The Horns of Joy’ is serious and mature, ambivalent and profound and amounts to more than just aestheticised gloom.

After early creative collaborations with SIXTH COMM, TONY WAKEFORD and HERBST9, for ‘The Horns of Joy’ they got the vocalists from DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED und WHILE ANGELS WATCH on board and have created inimitable hymns about the great calamities of the 20th century: “This is the sound of war – what has it all been good for?” Trancelike rhythms slowly build up, making way for songs of guilt and pain, but also of hope and joy.

With ‘The Horns of Joy’, :GOLGATHA: have exceeded the sum of their work to date and have developed their distinct ritual folk sound in crystalline clarity over a cycle of 13 elaborate songs. In a captivating manner they demonstrate their special position in the landscape of European alternative music.

Ainda continuando com o post acima, "nova música":

"Through tempests and the dread fanfares of dawning,

He leads his tried and faithful to the work

Of sober day and founds the Kingdom Come."



(Stefan George)





The upcoming third Sagittarius album "The Kingdom Come" marks both the peak as well as the end of a cycle of creative process. "Die Große Marina", "Songs From The Ivory Tower" and the new album represent a conceptual triad – three albums featuring personal musical reflections on classical pieces of traditional German and European literature. Whilst "Die Große Marina" was a contemplation on the classic novel "On the Marble Cliffs" by Ernst Jünger, "The Kingdom Come" will continue a golden thread opened with "Songs From The Ivory Tower" – meditation on poetry in its purest sense, highly influenced by the intellectual world of the German poet Stefan George.



The album's title "The Kingdom Come" is derived from the English title of Stefan George's final poem book "Das Neue Reich" according to the translation by Olga Marx and Ernst Morwitz. It perfectly reflects the general impetus of the new opus, since that particular book has been a constant companion and spiritual influence to the project's founder Cornelius Waldner for many years. Four poems that were set to music on this album were taken from the book. Other songs are based on poems by George's disciple Ernst Morwitz, Hermann Hesse, William Butler Yeats, Charles Baudelaire, Karoline von Günderrode, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and the Finnish poet Uuno Kailas.



Another poem set to music is "An die Deutschen" by the German exul poeta Karl Wolfskehl, which is one of the most impressive and haunting pieces of German poetry ever. Descending from one of the oldest Jewish families in Germany, Wolfskehl had an enormous impact on the intellectual life in Germany. A magnificent poet and translator, close friend to Stefan George and a leading expert on German mythology and medieval poetry, he was forced to go to exile in 1933. This particular poem is a long reflection on his homeland and spiritual influences, and both a song of valediction and distant hope.



Recorded between 2008 and 2011, "The Kingdom Come" contains 18 songs with a playing time of 66 minutes. With Sagittarius now grown to a full four piece line-up featuring as new members Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben) on vocals and Theresia W. on oboe, and once again assisted by a number of highly gifted guest musicians, including sG (Secrets Of The Moon), Dev (While Angels Watch), Josef K. (Von Thronstahl), Fräulein König and René P., Sagittarius has managed to conceive a unique and outstanding album in the tradition of the classic European Art Song, blending sophisticated neoclassical compositions with a touch of suicidal folk noir.
