Today is the official release date of the blackened doom metal masterpiece split album entitled Of Ash And Dying Light from Nachtterror and Altars Of Grief, out via Hypnotic Dirge Records! Head over to Bandcamp page now to hear the split in its entirety, and be sure to also download it to receive the digital-only bonus songs that are not streaming on the page. Beginning with a blackened doom foundation, both Nachtterror and Altars Of Grief branch from there and incorporate various other influences into their sound, including death-doom, symphonic black metal, and soundtracks music to create fresh and genuine music rooted in atmosphere and emotion. The split album was recorded by Justin Bender (Third Ion/ex-Into Eternity) earlier this year at Blue Door Studio in Regina, SK. If the music itself wasn’t a reason enough to pick up this release, artist Sam Nelson has also drawn two amazing and distinct cover images for this release, presented in all its glory and detail on both sides of the record.
Nachtterror is a Canadian blackened doom project established in 2004. Focused on creating an epic soundscape with an intense concentration on storytelling, Nachtterror aims to create acaptivating and emotionally engaging doom metal experience. Nachtterror's music reflects emotional states more so than concepts and ideas. From the violent, agony of anger and suffering to the numb discontent of depression, all states of being are experimented and explored. Beside this split with Altars Of Grief, Nachtterror is also currently in works to release a full length album entitled Judgement.
Hailing from Regina, Saskatchewan, Altars Of Grief was conceived in the frigid, winter months of 2013. The band draws from an eclectic musical background, weaving soaring choral arrangements with powerful, driving death metal; morose, gothic doom and frantic, uptempo black metal passages. In 2014, the band released its debut album, This Shameful Burden and followed up with a tour of central Canada in its support. Altars Of Grief's material on Of Ash And Dying Light is an incredible step for the band, delivering some of the best melancholic blackened doom in Canada and following in the footsteps of greats such as Woods Of Ypres. Reflective, sombre, and personal lyrics and music drenched in atmosphere, this is definitely a band to watch that has arisen from the Central Prairie Plains. The split album is now available as "name your price" digital download at the following link and will be released physicaly as 10" limited vinyl of 100 copies on 10th August! Link
