release notes:
The Arkestra returns! One year after the release of "Éons", a monumental
triple album that shook up the entire metal underground in 2020,
Belgium's mysterious collective known as NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM embarks on
a new cosmic trip through the lands of drone doom metal, free jazz and
psychedelic music... and this time you will be eyewitnesses of such a
grandiose musical quest!
Recorded live in Brussels in March 2020 and wrapped in a stunning cover
painting by French master Hervé Scott Flament, "Solar Drone Ceremony" is
a 53-minute audio-visual odyssey documenting a band at its maximum
splendor, working at full steam to pierce the veil of our narrow world
and open new vistas on lush mental landscapes.
The album is a remaking of the title-track from the band's first EP,
"The Conference of the Stars", here radically transfigured and expanded
into something new, summing up NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM's style and adding
to it not only the energy and intensity always palpable during a live
show, but also an esoteric, immersive visual dimension that proves all
the creativity these electric shamans are capable of.
From the smoky drone metal of Sunn O))) to the mystic ruminations of Sun
Ra and the space accelerations of Hawkwind, "Solar Drone Ceremony" is a
dark psychedelic ritual for the modern times, a ticket to ride for
today's psychonauts.
Recorded live by CZLT at Magasin 4, Brussels, March 11th 2020.
