Holodomor Témoignages de la Gnose Terrestre is now ready ! Limited 12" MLP via Musica Noire Records and Arachnophobia Records.
"Témoignages de la Gnose Terrestre is for anyone seeking their spirituality trampled in a Nietzschean frenzy and then extracted like a malignant tumor. There is little respite to be had anywhere on this EP, with about 17 minutes and five tracks that, in procession, tear your ears off and devour them in front of you." - Auto Thrall, From the Dust Returned.

[news] ORODRUIN / BOECX - split MC / DALI - Purpose And Intent - tape EP / ASTARIUM - Nekrocosmo : Demiurge - MC

Shunned House is proud to announce the release of three new tapes that have been in the works for quite some time!

[MOLD015] - ORODRUIN / BOECX - split MC

Two wayward Dutch acts have risen out of obscurity to present a mixture of archaic and necrotic black metal. After 15 years since the first demo, Yrch returns to his roots with ORODRUIN and delivers 6 new atmospheric and raw tracks, harking back to the sound of early 90's black metal. BOECX once again delivers the torturous medieval atmosphere that was established with their first material on the excellent "Beraadslaging Der Naargeestigheid" split with EEUWIG and ALRUIN.

[MOLD014] - DALI - Purpose And Intent - tape EP

DALI is a highly individualistic black metal project from New Zealand that has captivated me since I first heard his demo submission for "Dead And Loving It" (mold05). Combining nostalgia and catharsis, these 4 new tracks -spanning a total playing time of ~18 min.- provide a mental challenge to the listener that is both unique as well as familiar, like faded scars on flesh.

[MOLD013] - ASTARIUM - Nekrocosmo : Demiurge - MC

From the vast lands of Siberia, ASTARIUM delivers symphonic black metal exploring the boundless darkness of the cosmos with a highly individualistic approach. This is a limited edition of the 2014 EP, now available on tape.

Moscow Modern Industrial Metal band Digimortal released its fifth album – Children of the Galaxy. It was recorded on Digimortal’s own studio and released by own label with huge and beneficial fans active support. 10 years old Digimortal’s new album with 11 tracks onboard (including feat. Olga Lucky from The Cats and Virus) became a new era for the band.

“This is the first time in history of our band when we make album on our own studio” – said by Serdj, front man of the band (Vocals and Keys) “The sound we’ve got is powerful and done the way we exactly want to hear it. Several songs could be non-standard one for our band but we try not to reach the newest and modern tendencies and to stay ourselves. We have no doubts that this album will open the new areas and feels in our listeners souls”

Digimortal is one of key bands at Russian industrial metal stage. It was founded in Moscow at 2004 and released 5 studio albums, 2 of them was produced and mixed by Jacob Hansen (Denmark). Also Digimortal is the first ever metal band who filmed their official movie at the real submarine.

[artwork] de Waterhouse à Wind Atlas et Rothko Chapel [artwork / heartwork]

Prend un tableau connu, retourne-le et fais ta propre pochette

mais tu risques de te faire choper

Dans notre rubrique de « artwork / heartwork » voici aujourd’hui que le point de départ est l’œuvre du peintre britannique John William Waterhouse (6 avril 1849 - 10 février 1917). Il s’agit d’un peintre néoclassique et préraphaélite, très célèbre pour ses tableaux de femmes inspirés de la mythologie et de la littérature. Le tableau en question se nomme Le Cercle magique et a été peint vers 1886. Il mesure 183 cm de haut sur 127 cm de large. Il est conservé à la Tate Britain à Londres.

John William Waterhouse - Le Cercle magique (1886 environs), 183 cm X 127 cm, Tate Britain - Londres.

Deux groupes l’on reprit pour leurs artwork : il s’agit de Wind Atlas pour l’album Lingua Ignota sorti en 2015 et de Rothko Chapel pour son album ...mere belief sorti en 2016.

Wind Atlas est un groupe de Barcelone de ambient / folk / darkwave et donc pas metal actif depuis 2012.
