comment: |
Empusae and Onasander, two visionary forces in experimental and
atmospheric music, join together to unveil "Umbrosyne", a sonic
exploration of shadow, memory, and resilience. This collaborative
album weaves a tapestry of haunting soundscapes and evocative
melodies, drawing listeners into a world where the ancient and the
modern converge.
Through "Umbrosyne", the artists channel their distinct creative
energies into a unified voice. Empusae’s mastery of dark ambient
textures and industrial rhythms merges seamlessly with Onasander’s
cinematic approach to composition, steeped in mythological and
historical themes. The result is a compelling journey through sonic
realms where desolation meets beauty, and introspection transforms
into transcendence.
Visually, Umbrosyne is elevated by an arresting artwork
collaboration between Christel Morvan and NIHIL. The layout,
described as cosmic body horror, merges the vastness of the
universe with the grotesque beauty of the human form, evoking an
uncanny and otherworldly aesthetic. This haunting visual component
serves as a perfect counterpart to the album’s dark yet expansive
soundscapes, enhancing the sense of immersion.
Each track on Umbrosyne invites the listener to wander through
intricate landscapes of layered sound, punctuated by pulsating
beats, atmospheric drones, and stirring crescendos. The album
serves as a meditation on the interplay of light and shadow,
inspired by themes of resilience and the human capacity to navigate
turmoil surrounded by the undeniable cosmic void.
With the combined talents of Empusae, Onasander, Christel Morvan,
and NIHIL, Umbrosyne stands as a profound work of
multi-disciplinary collaboration—a journey where sound and vision
unite to tell a story of depth, contrast, and beauty, set against
the haunting backdrop of the cosmic unknown.

news: |
Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
This nfo is designed to be both human and machine readable.
We also bring a few more things:
- The filenames are appended with ISRC codes disambiguating common
dupechecking problems like remastered and remixed tracks,
transliteration errors, foreign characters...
- id3 tags include a lot more metadata than average releases,
some to name a few:
- extended genres (extracted from last.fm/bandcamp)
- similar artists
- BPM (also shown in the tracklist above)
- URLS for that release on various websites for listeners to
look for more info and to simplify nukers' jobs checking
releases
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.6
