_______________

The eclecticism of Patrick Brown, once the soul of the acclaimed HOWLS OF EBB and now active under the HERXHEIM moniker, finds a new relief valve in MANASSEH, which debuts with "Tunneling To Paradiso." Wrapped in a suggestive cover by Gerard Trignac, the album is a descent towards an upside-down Paradise, an initiatory journey passing through 10 mainly instrumental musical stages.
Dark ambient, dungeon synth and neo-folk blend and mingle into profoundly dark music, sometimes acoustic and medieval-like, elsewhere simply disturbing and evocative. Dante's Inferno finds in the music of MANASSEH a refined and sinister soundtrack made of ebony melodies, rarefied guitar riffs and catacomb synths.
Released at the same time as HERXHEIM's “Contrapasso”, “Tunneling to Paradiso” is its acoustic and ghostly counterpart, the fresco of a nightmarish nocturnal landscape that fascinates and terrifies at the same time.

Tape edition out in April through Virvpi: www.virupi.com

Song Of Salvation
by Dream Unending

supported by 6 fans who also own “Tunneling To Paradiso”

A beautiful cacophony of some of the most tuneful and atmospheric sonic landscapes that I've heard this year. Dream Unending is pushing the artistic boundaries of what is possible in death/black metal. A brilliant listen. ottoman91

Towers of Silence

Buddy Rich was abducted by aliens and forced to play a metal fusion concert aboard their mothership. Towers of Silence is fucking awesome (you need Plasmodium’s 2016 album too! Find it on Satanath or the band page.) Metallurgical Fire

Anthronomicon
by Ulthar

supported by 6 fans who also own “Tunneling To Paradiso”

Sounds like Cthulhu going on a Benadryl and bath-salts fueled rampage through a Guitar Center while a bunch of the fish people from Innsmouth gang bang in the background. The guys from Ulthar sound more focused this time around, compared to the more meandering bits of Helionomicon (which is also awesome, check it out). And the album art... holy hell. Ghuughra
