comment: |
Rites Of Passage is an exceptionally intriguing project, born from
the collaboration of Mindtrick Records founder Guido van den Brink
(also known as Atiq) and Dennis Leick (aka Dreadmaul). This debut
self-titled album stands out as a surprising entry in the Mindtrick
catalog, deviating from the label’s usual sound. It delves deeply
into Dark-Ambient and Ritualistic realms, occasionally infused with
mysterious, exotic, Eastern-inspired elements that might remind to
Dead Can Dance. The album features 8 original tracks, each a
masterpiece in its own right. Transcendental rhythms and immersive
atmospheres blend seamlessly, creating a powerful and hypnotic
musical experience. At times, the sound veers toward a more
Industrial edge, recalling the Tribal energy of acts like
iVardensphere and This Morn’Omina. Rounding out the release are
three excellent remixes by Redlum & Elizar Mel, Vu, and Blakk
Harbor, each adding a fresh perspective to the project. Rites of
Passage is a captivating and transformative album, and one can only
hope that these two artists will continue to collaborate in the
future.
Prepare to embark on an immersive sonic journey with Rites of
Passage, the self-titled debut album from the enigmatic duo Atiq
and dreadmaul. Released on vinyl and digital, this album delivers
an overwhelming and hypnotic interpretation of the age-old concept
of transformation and initiation. With each track, the listener is
invited to delve deep into an otherworldly soundscape where
mysticism and archaic rituals blend seamlessly with the pulse of
modern electronic music. Crafted with meticulous attention to
detail, Rites of Passage transports you to a pre-civilization era,
incorporating organic elements like bone flutes, haunting throat
singing, and shamanic invocations. These sounds are woven into the
fabric of intricate electronic arrangements, creating a unique
atmosphere that feels timeless yet contemporary — a delicate
balance between the ancient and the modern. This concept album is
not just a collection of tracks; it's an experience, a ceremonial
rite that transcends the listener from one state of mind to
another. The vinyl format, with its warmth and physicality, only
heightens the immersion, making it an essential addition for
collectors and audiophiles alike. Whether you’re a fan of
experimental music or simply seeking something transformative,
Rites of Passage delivers an unforgettable journey through sound.
A ritual in itself, this album truly earns its name. Don’t miss
your chance to own a piece of this alchemy — Rites of Passage on
vinyl is a must-have for those ready to enter a new sonic
dimension.

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
