Superlynx PRc

With the release date of the 15th March approaching, Dark Essence Records have revealed the title track from SUPERLYNX’s upcoming album “New Moon”.

“New Moon” is described by the band as “one of the slower and heavier songs on the album. It is about a new beginning and coming to it through an inner drive that is always there, but which is also connected to the bigger picture, to the cosmos, and to the force of life, going back billions of years, and who knows how far into the future. There is some heavy existentialism going on here”.

As well as below:

The Norwegian doom trio originally started life in 2013 as a duo, when drummer Ole Teigen and bassist/vocalist Pia Isaksen formed SUPERLYNX. It wasn’t until they heard guitarist Daniel Bakken at rehearsals that SUPERLYNX became the trio that it is today. Together, they went on to create the band’s sophomore full-length album “New Moon”, which was recorded by the band themselves, with a little help from Ole Jørgen Moe who recorded SUPERLYNX’s debut album.

Mixed by the band’s long-time sound engineer Amund Tømmerbakke, and mastered by Fridtjof Lindeman at Strype Audio, tracklisting for “New Moon” is as follows:

01. Hex
02. Breath
03. Becoming the Sea
04. New Moon
05. Indian Summer
06. These Children that come at us with Knives
07. Scarecrow
08. Cold Black Sea
09. The Groove
10. The Thickest Night

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS RELEASES NEW SINGLE FROM DOOMSTERS SUPERLYNX

Posted: January 4, 2019 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, Uncategorized
Tags: Dark Essence Records, Doom, Psychedelic Doom, Superlynx

Superlynx PRb

Dark Essence Records have kicked off 2019 with the release of a new single taken from “New Moon, the upcoming full-length album from the Norwegian doom/psych trio SUPERLYNX.

The single, for the track “Indian Summer”, can be streamed or downloaded from the following http://phonofile.link/indian-summer

SUPERLYNX’s Pia Isaksen, who also did the artwork for “Indian Summer”, and for the album itself, has this to say about the track:

Indian summer is one of the more feel good songs on the album where we focussed on bringing out the positive aspect about surviving hard times. It is a mental gathering of strength and a celebration of finally being able to let go and move on. The title Indian Summer represents something that comes late but which is good. The scream in the last part of the song took all I had, and it really felt like an act of banishing lingering trauma.

SUPERLYNX was originally formed as a duo by drummer Ole Teigen and bassist/vocalist Pia Isaksen in 2013. However, after meeting with guitarist Daniel Bakken, coupled with his performance during rehearsals, SUPERLYNX became a fully fledged trio.

“New Moon” will be SUPERLYNX’s second full-length album and was recorded by the band themselves, with a little help from Ole Jørgen Moe, who recorded their debut album. Mixed by the band’s long-time sound engineer Amund Tømmerbakke, and mastered by Fridtjof Lindeman at Strype Audio, tracklisting for “New Moon” is as follows:

01. Hex
02. Breath
03. Becoming the Sea

DETAILS OF UPCOMING SUPERLYNX ALBUM REVEALED. VIDEO & SINGLE RELEASED

Superlynx PRa

Dark Essence Records have set the 15th March 2019 as the release date for “New Moon”, the upcoming full-length album from SUPERLYNX. But fans of the Norwegian doom/psycho trio will not have to wait that long to hear something new from the band, because today the label has released a single for the opening track from the album.

The single, “Hex” can be streamed and downloaded from http://phonofile.link/superlynx-hex

Superlynx SinglePR

Commenting on “Hex”, SUPERLYNX also give fans an insight into the ethos behind “New Moon” as a whole:

Like most of the new album, HEX was written in challenging times, with feelings of hopelessness caused by both personal and external circumstances. The song was given a ritualistic expression, representing a deep, primal feeling and a need to alter the dark reality. Through creative force, love and a wish for better times, this feeling is transformed into music and given a positive outlet. In this way, HEX represents the essence of the album. We have all been through dark times and have dealt with a lot of it through music. You can say that making the album has been a sort of alchemical process. The focus has been on getting through the dark and holding on to what is good in this world. And one of the best things is that music has come out of it.

Additionally, The Obelisk is premiering a music video for “Hex” which can be seen at http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2018/12/06/superlynx-new-moon-hex-video-premiere

“New Moon” will be the second full-length album from SUPERLYNX, which was formed in 2013 by drummer Ole Teigen and bassist/vocalist Pia Isaksen. A subsequent meeting with guitarist Daniel Bakken, coupled with his performance during rehearsals, changed the duo’s mind about remaining a two-piece and SUPERLYNX became the trio it is today.

With cover art by Pia Isaksen, “New Moon” was recorded by the band themselves, with a little help from Ole Jørgen Moe, who recorded their debut album. Mixed by the band’s long-time sound engineer Amund Tømmerbakke, and mastered by Fridtjof Lindeman at Strype Audio, tracklisting for “New Moon” is as follows:

01. Hex
02. Breath
03. Becoming the Sea
04. New Moon
05. Indian Summer
06. These Children that come at us with Knives
07. Scarecrow
08. Cold Black Sea
09. The Groove
10. The Thickest Night

New moon will be available in CD, Digital, and Limited Edition moon-coloured vinyl formats, and is now available to pre-order from the following:

ATROX ANNOUNCE LINEUP CHANGE WITH ARRIVAL OF NEW DRUMMER

Posted: October 26, 2017 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, Uncategorized
Tags: Atrox, Dark Essence Records, Doom, Experimental, Industrial, Norway

Atrox PR2

With their long-awaited sixth full-length album “Monocle” having hit the streets on Dark Essence Records last month, Norway’s ATROX have today announced that long-time drummer, Tor Arne Helgesen, has decided to quit the band due to a lack of inspiration and the desire to pursue other interests, and that his place will be taken by Andreas Kjøl Berg.

Both the new and outgoing drummers, and the band have made the following statements for their fans:

Tor Arne:
” After 18 years I have decided to leave ATROX. This of course, is not without thought, but it’s a natural decision because of lack of inspiration on my part and it’s been like this for a while. The gang in ATROX are my brothers so this happens completely without drama. They had seen the “writing on the wall” and were therefore not very surprised about my decision to call it a day. I’m proud to have been a part of ATROX’s history, a story that has been going on for 30 years! Andreas Kjøl Berg who takes over the drum seat in the band is a monster with sticks and will surely enrich ATROX in the future !! Now I will still be featured on various releases such as MANES, LETHE, amongst others, as a session musician, as well as a newly started project with Eivind (EoP). I wish ATROX all the best in the future and look forward to following the band as a fan! Viva ATROX 🙂 !!”

ATROX’s guitar player Eivind explains:
“So after nearly 20 years Tor Arne has decided to close the ATROX chapter of his life. Everyone in ATROX wishes him nothing but happiness and success in any and all of his future endeavours. At the same time we are really excited to announce ATROX’s new drummer, a “drum monster” by the name of Andreas Kjøl Berg. He’s been a friend to some of the ATROX members for years, and he plays for the band 22 amongst others. We’re sure he’s going to be the perfect fit, and considering his musical history and skills, I think he’s going to add a new and cool dimension to the ATROX sound”.

Andreas:
“Some eight years back I attended my first ATROX gig. I was blown away by the band, the musicality and the songs they had. I knew some of the guys from before and they were good guys. I remember telling Rune F after the gig that if they ever found themselves in a situation where they needed a drummer, just ask. That’s how much I liked them. Then, 8 years later, in June this year, I was asked by Rune F to step in at a gig they had at ProgPower in the Netherlands, and I said yes right away. Then I got to know that Tor Arne quit and the drum throne was up for grabs. I grabbed the opportunity.

“I love the band’s two last albums (Binocular and Monocle) and I learned to love them even more after I got to learn and play the songs. Tor Arne has written so many cool drum parts which are a joy to play. I try to find a combination between bringing my own style, but also respecting the part he wrote, and how I first learned the songs. To sum it up, it’s great to have become a part of ATROX and I look forward to new music, gigs, laughs and tours”.

The departure is amicable and the band will continue to support their latest release Monocle with some gigs next year as well as working on new music for a new album.

Today’s ATROX lineup comprises Rune Folgerø on Vocals, Eivind on Guitars, Rune Sørgård on Guitars & Technology, Erik Paulsen on Bass , and of course new drummer Andreas Kjøl Berg.

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS SIGN NORWEGIAN DOOMSTERS DWAAL

Posted: August 22, 2017 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, Uncategorized
Tags: Dark Essence Records, Doom, Dwaal, Old School, Post Metal, Sludge

Dwaal PR3

Whilst Dark Essence Records’ impressive band roster has never been short of Black and Extreme Metal, the slow, heavy tones of Doom have, until now, been noticeable by their absence. But that is all about to change as the Bergen-based label announced today that they had signed Norwegian Doomsters DWAAL.

Formed during 2014 in Norway’s capital city Oslo, DWAAL is a five-headed behemoth, assaulting the listener with a dense wall of sound that lies somewhere at the intersection of Doom and Post Metal. The atmosphere they create is one of slow motion, laden with heavy, sludgy, gloomy riffs, punctuated alternately by despairing vocals one minute, and minimalistic, melancholic melodies the next. Or, as the band like to put it: “A punch in the throat followed by a soothing caress, followed by another punch in the throat”.

Dwaal PR2

DWAAL’s lineup is comprised of Christian Natusch on Vocals & Synth, Eigil Dragvik on Guitar & Backing vocals, Rikke Karlsen on Guitar, Stian Hammer on Bass and Anders Johnsen on Drums. The band’s studio debut was self-released in April of this year to a warm reception from the Norwegian underground. The EP, titled “Darben”, is a 31 minute, two-track opus which can be heard below and at https://dwaaldoom.bandcamp.com

A
Work has now begun on DWAAL’s first full-length album, with tracking expected to start in the spring of 2018 for release later in the year.

ATROX DEBUTS VIDEO OF TRACK FROM UPCOMING ALBUM

Posted: August 8, 2017 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES
Tags: Atrox, Dark Essence Records, Doom, Experimental, Industrial, Norway

Atrox PR2

With *Monocle”, their first album for over a decade set for release on Dark Essence Records on the 8th September, ATROX have today debuted the opening track from the album in the form of a video by Snorre Hovdal of Dispenser Media.

According to the band, Hovdal was chosen because of his previous work with two of the band members on their DRONTHEIM project, and he was given the song with the brief that it should be dark. More than satisfied with the result, ATROX felt that ” that’s what happens when small boys play with rocks…witches come in many sizes”. The video is currently streaming exclusively at the following:

Lords of Metal (Netherlands): http://www.lordsofmetal.nl/nl/streams/view/id/626
Eternal Terror (Norway) https://eternal-terror.com/articles/index.php?id=1829&type=A
Ultraje (Portugal): http://ultraje.pt/atrox-mass/
Legacy (Germany) http://www.legacy.de/exklusives/803-exklusive-video-premiere-atrox-mass.html
Spark Rock Magazine (czech republic) http://www.spark-roc kmagazine.cz/industrialove-atr ox-se-vraci-po-9-letech
Rock Tribune (Belgium), https://www.facebook.com/RockTribune/

About the track itself, the band had this to say: “The reason for us picking “Mass” for a video was due to the energy and structure of the song – which is aggressive and straight to the point. It also represents the album well, giving you a vibe about what it’s all about; a darker side of us and how we’re observing the world around us”.

Today’s ATROX lineup comprises Rune Folgerø on Vocals, viNd on Guitars, Rune Sørgård on Guitars & Technology, Tor Arne Helgesen on Drums and Erik Paulsen on Bass, and with “Monocle” the band is back stronger than ever. The sound has been fine-tuned so that what was once an atmospheric mix of Death and Doom Metal has become much more progressive, experimental and industrial. It is an album that shows a darker side to the band, with more epic and atmospheric elements than before. Consolidating the unique ATROX sound within the album are catchy and upbeat sections.

Artwork for “Monocle” is by Rune Folgerø and Erik Paulsen. Tracklisting is as follows:

1. Mass
2. Vacuum
3. Heat
4. Finger
5. Suicide Days
6. For We Are Many
7. Movie
8. Target

“Monocle” will be released in CD, Vinyl and Digital formats and is now available to pre-order from https://www.darkessencerecords.no/webshop/ and https://atrox.bandcamp.com

MOURNING BELOVETH TO PERFORM SPECIAL SET AT DUTCH DOOM DAYS & EXPLAIN THEIR LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE BAROEG VENUE

Posted: October 25, 2016 in MOURNING BELOVETH, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES
Tags: Baroeg, Doom, MOURNING BELOVETH

Mourning Beloveth PR1

Irish Doomsters MOURNING BELOVETH will perform a special set in the Netherlands , on Saturday 29th October , when they make what will be their third appearance at Dutch Doom Days at the Baroeg, Rotterdam. And their reasons for doing so? Quite simple really – not only does MOURNING BELOVETH have a considerable following in the Netherlands, but they are also huge fans of the Rotterdam venue. Plus the football of course! As the band explains:

“This will be our third Dutch Doom Days appearance and one we are really looking forward to. We first played Baroeg in 2003 when on the Doomination of Europe Tour with MORGION and THE PROPHECY, and this is what started our love affair with the place. So much so that even if we are not playing at Dutch Doom Days or making a stop there during a tour, we have also become die-hard Rotterdam Hooligans – the Irish Branch.

“We have had many legendary nights at Baroeg, mainly when the gigs were over; from 4am Doom sing-along’s to Feyenoord Gabba songs. We were even asked by our Dutch friends at Baroeg to contribute to the letter from the venue to the Dutch Government for funding assistance, something that was a real honour for us. And naturally with Feyenoord 5 points clear at the top of the Eredivise, and a home game next weekend we might even get some good football on Sunday morning”.

So what exactly does MOURNING BELOVETH have in store for the fans and the venue on Saturday:

“The most important thing of course is the music, and we are due to headline the Saturday night and we have decided to do something special. We will play Nick Cave’s “The Weeping Song” and this will be only third time that we perform it live. We know this is a favourite amongst our Dutch friends, and the last time we played it on stage also happened to be at the Baroeg. Unfortunately due to the gremlins that had taken up residence in our equipment, or maybe it was in our heads, we were not satisfied with the performance that time. We’re happy to say that rehearsals are going well, and if anyone knows the words they are more than welcome to help us out and sing along with us.

“We will also be playing an acoustic version of “A Terrible Beauty is Born”, with the original video playing behind us. It will be the first time we have played anything acoustically outside of rehearsals or the recording studio, and we hope everyone will enjoy it. For those who don’t know the song, the lyrics are taken from WB Yeats poem “Easter 1916” which is about Ireland’s fight for freedom and the changing attitudes of many people who witnessed the ultimate sacrifice made by so many men and women who laid down their lives for a free Ireland. But the words of the poem could resonate in any country in the world where people have fought for freedom since the beginning of time, and the video reflects this.

“See ye in the dark corners….”

mourning-beloveth-dd

The video of “A Terrible Beauty is Born” that will be used at Dutch Doom Days, it was created by the band and John Mulvaney and originally released on the 24th April 2016 – the day that marked the Centenary of the Easter Uprising. Since its release there have been more than a few who have questioned what Yeats would have thought of his words being interpreted by a metal band, and some who questioned what the band’s motivation was for writing the song. So, earlier this year the band released an unscripted video where they explained what lies behind the track, the recording process, how such a different sound came about, and what it might lead to in the future. Titled “A Terrible Interview Is Born”, the video can be seen below at https://youtu.be/atfJvCiDRSM

x
The original version of “A Terrible Beauty is Born” was released in black and white, since some of the footage used was from the era of pre-colour photography. Having taken another look at it, the band felt that the colour version gave a slightly different perspective, and went on to release that version as well for comparison. The black and white version can be seen below and at https://youtu.be/hOf24w_b7jI

Formed in 1992 and with six full-length albums and a plethora of compilations and splits under their belts, MOURNING BELOVETH are based in the market town of Athy, in County Kildare. The band’s lineup is composed of Darren Moore on Vocals, Frank Brennan on Guitars and Backing Vocals, Pauric Gallagher on Guitars, Brendan Roche on Bass and Tim Johnson on Drums.

ICELAND’S MOMENTUM REVEAL VIDEO FOR TRACK FROM UPCOMING ALBUM

Posted: July 4, 2016 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, Uncategorized
Tags: Dark Essence Records, Doom, Iceland, Metal, Momentum, Progressive

momentumpr_zps8987768e

With two succesful releases to their name, Iceland’s MOMENTUM are hard at at work on their next full-length album, which will once again appear on Dark Essence Records, at a date as yet to be specified. Whilst work is continuing apace, the band have been able to reveal “Dire Host”, a new track from the album, via a video which was filmed in the studio. The video can be seen below and on MOMENTUM’s YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/OviPlf3xiLs

“Dire Host” was recorded in June in Hveragerði, a small town about a half hour drive from Reykjavík, and the new album marks the first time that MOMENTUM will be working in the studio with Friðrik Helgason. As to what fans should expect from the album, “Dire Host” gives a pretty good idea according to the band who had this to say: “The songwriting process for a new album is going very well and we are really enjoying the direction in which we are heading. It has been, and continues to be, a new learning curve for the band to keep the music to just the three of us, but it would seem that we thrive on challenging ourselves with something different every time.

“We wanted to go and record a proper example of what the band is doing today and we feel that ‘Dire Host’ captures that quite well. If you happen to be at Eistnaflug festival next week you will be able to see this live as well as a lot more of the new material, including a special treat that we’ve been working very hard on this past month”.

MOMENTUM, whose lineup comprises Kristján on Drums, Holaf on Vocals and Bass , and Ingvar on Guitar and Vocals, is set appear not once, but twice at the Eistnaflug Festival in Iceland in July. Their first appearance will be on the Boli stage on Wednesday 6th at 17:50, whilst on Friday the 8th they hit the Brennivin stage at 22:20 for what will be a special show.

Just short of twenty years after its release, ESOTERIC’s sophomore full-length album “The Pernicious Enigma” has finally found its way onto vinyl courtesy of Aesthetic Death Records. Recorded in 1996 at Rich Bitch Studios, and originally released as a double CD in 1997, the vinyl version of “The Pernicious Enigma” is available as a triple gatefold LP strictly limited to 600 copies and can be bought directly from the band’s Webstore at http://www.esotericuk.net/Store

Having never been completely satisfied with the original mix of “The Pernicious Enigma”, the Experimental Doomsters decided to transfer the album from the original multitrack tapes in order to be able to remix the tracks and bring out some of the details that had been buried or subdued in the original release. The remixing and remastering was carried out during 2015/16 by ESOTERIC’s Greg Chandler at his Priory Studios (http://www.prioryrecordingstudios.co.uk/ ). Now, without actually having changed the overall feel of the album, and with a level of clarity and definition that far surpasses the original, “The Pernicious Enigma” is much closer to the band’s original vision. Artwork is by Simon Phillips.

Only one more of ESOTERIC’s six full length albums now remains to be released on vinyl, and it is anticipated that “Metamorphogenesis” will also appear in LP format in the future.

ESOTERIC are currently working on what will be their seventh full-length album, and a follow up to 2011’s critically acclaimed “Paragon of Dissonance”. Eschewing any serious touring whilst they focus on the preparations and recording for the new album, the band are planning to play a few one-off shows and festivals this year. Confirmed appearances to date as follows:

28^th May: No Fun Intended, Eiger Studios, Leeds, UK
3^rd June: Temples Festival, Bristol, UK
1^st July: Under the Black Sun Festival, Bornicke, Germany
15^th Oct: Autumn Souls of Sofia, Sofia, Bulgaria

MOURNING BELOVETH TALK ON VIDEO ABOUT THE INSPIRATION BEHIND “A TERRIBLE BEAUTY IS BORN” TRACK AND VIDEO

Mourning Beloveth PR1

When Irish Doomsters MOURNING BELOVETH released their sixth full-length album “Rust and Bone” at the end of 2015, one track stood out in particular, not only because its lyrical content was open to speculation, but also because musically it was such a departure from the band’s usual heavy, doom-laden sound, and Death Metal inspired vocals.

The track in question was “A Terrible Beauty Is Born”, a poignant, and hauntingly beautiful, acoustic interpretation of the famous W. B. Yeats poem. It was a track that also saw vocalist Darren Moore take a backseat and guitarist/backing vocalist Frank Brennan step to the fore to give voice to the song that had been in his mind for a long time.

Mourning Beloveth Video PR3

When the band joined forces with John Mulvaney to create a video for “A Terrible Beauty Is Born”, and released it on the 24th April this year, which was the date that marked the Centenary of the Easter Uprising, there were more than a few who questioned what Yeats would have thought of his words being interpreted by a metal band, and some who questioned whether the video, and indeed the song itself, was the band’s tribute to those who died in the rebellion that was to shape the future of Ireland. This, despite MOURNING BELOVETH having made it very clear that it was a tribute to all who had fought and died for freedom throughout the world.

Commented the band: “We were at rehearsals one day, talking about the questions that fans kept asking about “A Terrible Beauty Is Born”, and it occurred to us that it might be a good idea to informally film ourselves giving our unscripted thoughts about what lies behind the track, the recording process, how such a different sound came about, and what it might lead to in the future. YouTube seems to be the “go to” place for music fans these days, and it looked like it might be a much more interesting way to do it, rather than just writing an explanation. We are grateful to John Mulvaney who kindly gave us a hand turning it into something coherent, and you can see the results, which we have titled “A Terrible Interview Is Born”, below and at https://youtu.be/atfJvCiDRSM

“We also thought that fans might like to see the original version of the “A Terrible Beauty Is Born ” video as well. The version that was released was in black and white, a medium we felt lent the right atmosphere, particularly since some of the footage we used was from the era of pre-colour photography. Having looked at it again, the colour version gives a slightly different perspective, so for those who are interested in comparing the two, the black and white version can be seen below and at https://youtu.be/hOf24w_b7jI

Formed in 1992 and with six full-length albums and a plethora of compilations and splits under their belts, MOURNING BELOVETH are based in the market town of Athy, in County Kildare. Aside from Moore and Brennan, the band’s lineup includes Pauric Gallagher on Guitar, Brendan Roche on Bass and Tim Johnson on Drums.
