Just before Neamh-mharbh, there was this project! Created by the other half of NM, & featuring our friend on vocals, who also performed on NM's first release. I love this track, & the rest of the EP has traces of NM's sound too. draiocht-haxan.bandcamp.com/track/martyr...

It's no surprise to me that I've had writers block for a time now. 'Veln' is the closest I've gotten to creating as close to my tastes as possible. The new material I have since then, about 16 minutes worth of material, I'm so excited to share eventually. Sometimes it's a long road but that's okay.

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger. ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

RIP Brent Hinds, I really can't believe it, a very sad day. What a stellar guitarist with some totally unique riffs & solos. You widened my horizons concerning what guitar could be & seeing you guys live just when Leviathan had been released was electrifying. π youtu.be/3bYgZPfUKDo?...

Hark! The sound of angels singing and trumpets playing are ringing out from the depths of the heavens π« @secunda-sound.bsky.socialβs Gauntlet of Stars explores medieval astrology and monastic traditions, blending elements of dungeon and space synth with some medieval inspired instrumentation.

Aquaaris is an aquatic fantasy synth journey that flows from ambience to melody soaked to the brim with undersea atmosphere. Embark on another journey with the @vandus-ds.bsky.social as he descends from warm shallows to the cold, dark depths of Aquaaris π³

Released today in 1998, & really a dark, poetic masterpiece. When I was younger I learned a lot of songs from both this and their other records. But MAYH always stood out for me & always captured that Autumn feel perfectly.

1. Happy Sunday, my #Tolkien friends. What if today was the day we went to Michel Delving on the White Downs, wending our way along a chalk road into this capitol of the Shire?

It's an amazing label & community & for such good causes π On a personal level, connecting has made a difficult past year so much brighter & to be amidst artists and a label owner with such integrity means so much. My cat is here & agrees π― π

I'm still making it through your music but Stifled Glare has amazing riffs, & the energy is really palpable. I will give more thoughts when I finish!

You don't, that song needs to be unwritten. The cadence just scratches my brain all wrong & I know I'm not alone
VelnBand (@tapemage.bsky.social) reply parent
As I recall from the book Dream Brother, there was a sizeable debt to Columbia records because of unproductive recording sessions which was probably pretty stressful & pressuring . When you hear 'Sketches to...' there's definitely enough material to fill an album.

Supply Run - Watercolour. Gonna be featuring Mice and Pine Martens in the new story. Turtles too cuz they're tough and snappy. Work continues unabated. More soon. Tally Ho.

This is one of the most beautiful 'songs' I've heard, since I first played. It sounds like letting out a deep breath after a giant struggle

while talking about saferoom themes the other day i somehow neglected to mention 'miracle workshop', the track that plays in the haruspex's lair in pathologic 2. a song that sounds like deep sleep after difficult work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayEv...

The guns definitely feel like a trap in that you feel starve for fear of running out of ammo. Ah, the horror.

I'm not always sure what atmospheric bm is supposed to evoke but I find soundtracks or some concept albums closest to trying to create a particular mood. But saying something has 'atmosphere' without elaborating...might as well be talking about a restaurant, & even a burger king evokes -something-

youtu.be/ED_Kp6ONpsY?... Still a sonically incredible album, & wasn't it a +10 year gap or thereabouts between this & the last release? As an early 2000s album it must have blown adjacent big 4 bands out of the water. When I recall that it exists I'm shocked all over again! π«

It's the issue with anonymity in art sometimes. Like I believe some DS music & other genre artists are just sweet people who are perhaps a bit or very shy about their art or prefer to hide while still releasing. I have that shyness too & I don't talk about my art IRL really but with 2/3 people.
