PRE-ORDER LYCANTHIA / ATTEN ASH SPLIT VINYL
Side A :
Lycanthia - The Harbinger
On Side A,
there is Lycanthia, a six-piece gothic death-doom metal band from Sydney, Australia.
Their music can be described as dark, aggressive and emotional soundscapes
fused with classical and rock elements. Consisting of grim male and dual female
vocals, violins, keyboards, guitars and drums, Lycanthia continue that
"golden age" traditional-doom sound with influences such as My Dying
Bride & Theatre of Tragedy while also adding a more aggressive, complex and
sophisticated sound, incorporating the likes of Draconian, Primordial, Shape of
Despair & Virgin Black while still maintaining their own unique sound. Having
now been a couple of years since the release of their latest full-length
"Oligarchy", Lycanthia has been preparing new material that will
comprise their next album, and in the meantime have managed to record a new
track entitled "The Harbinger" which was released digitally and on a
video clip earlier this year but was always planned and intended for a vinyl
release.
Side B : Atten Ash - City in the Sea
On
Side B is Atten Ash. A three-piece atmospheric/melodic death-doom band from North Carolina, Atten
Ash is the creation of founding member James Greene whose intention with the
project was to create something heavier and more colorful with attention to
nuance and emotion. Being a multi-instrumentalist, James was able to record the
foundations of the songs, giving a clear picture of the powerful nature of the
music. Demos slowly took form. In 2011 James began collaborating with Barre
Gambling (founding guitarist of Daylight Dies) and Archie Hunt
(vocalist/guitarist of Legion of the Fallen) and the trio continued the musical
work: arranging songs, establishing vocal patterns, writing lyrics and guitar
solos.
With
their full-length album “The Hourglass” already recorded in 2012 though not yet
officially released, Atten Ash will present the track “City in the Sea” on
their side of the 7”
split as the introduction to their band and first official release serving as a
prelude to the release of “The Hourglass” to follow shortly.
