I really liked the short demo D.L. (a mysterious young man who actually posts on MA) and he'll release the full length album in September. This shit is excellent and should be supported. I know he has been looking for a label and he deserves a big endorsement. The sound could be described wiht the purple and evocative artwork, it's full of feels.

After several months of delays, this is finally released. Feel free to check it out, I guarantee it's unlike anything you've ever heard.

Thanks for the support.

Wait, so this isn't a Cephalotripsy worship band? I'm disappointed in you, MC.

Joking aside, I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.

Nice work MC. I heard a preview track a while ago and found it very enjoyable so glad to see the full length has now seen the light of day. A very nice effort, enjoying the uplifting vibe the album gives off, makes for a nice change from the norm. Well done mate.

Thanks for the positive words, guys!

Something sort of like that is also in the works.

Listened to this on Bandcamp on the way to work today and ended up listening to it a few more times. Metantoine's description and that album cover got me mighty intrigued.
Anyone who likes their metal with a really distinct character and an interesting spin on black metal tropes should check this out.
Can't wait for the cassette to arrive!

Yeah it's pretty solid. I really hear a good bit of Tukaaria in the riffing, but much more uplifting sounding. Very unique vibe. I feel like I'd have been all over this in 2013, but my tastes have developed more into basement-dweller trueness territory since then. Still though, super impressive stuff, even if it doesn't try hard enough to sound like Darkthrone for my tastes.

I really only gave this a cursory half-listen when I first heard it, but I'm giving it a bit more attention now and I really like it. It's very soft, and I don't mean it in the Deafheaven sense where it's non-threatening and wussy (though I suppose you could say those also apply), but I mean it more in the sense that it's very ethereal and soothing, with rounded edges and a deeper sense of vision. Lots of nice textures and interesting twists. Great stuff for sure.

I'm honestly not entirely sure what to think of it- like it's something I can respect (DL clearly had a vision of what he wanted to achieve and he got pretty damn close to it), but do I get a huge kick out of listening to it? Not at the moment. That said I still play it once in a while as it's a pretty unique album that I just haven't really figured out yet- which suggests a grower.
