REVIEWS OF XVI: Aural Pressure:"The music itself is brilliant at times (tracks 1, 4, 6 and 9 are especially provocative) with wonderful dark ambient moments or bombastic rhythmic pieces. The artwork is also worth a mention - beautifully detailed and geometric in the Islamic tradition."
Fiend magazine:"Avoiding being one dimensional in execution, some compositions are forcefully pounding & militant, others subdued & sinister, & yet others tribal in their musical aesthetic. To name drop, In Slaughter Natives crossbred with Muslimgauze would be a reasonable descriptive comparison. From concept, to execution and to final sleeve design, this is another strong album from the Cold Spring roster."
Terrorizer magazine:"Taking propaganda and news bites from American and Arab news channels and blending them effortlessly with their own cold industrial beats and drones, in a very similar way to Boyd Rice's NON but with a profound Middle Eastern feel, they've made a very of-the-moment release that will haunt you for years to come."
NEROFOSCO "MITHRASLITURGIE" OUT ON NOV.7th EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH OUR MYSPACE AND OLDEUROPACAFE! PLS SPREAD! THANKS FOR ADDING US AND PAYING ATTENTION TO OUR SOUNDSCAPES.
As winter hibernation and spring awakening gives way to summer, Halo Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds, and brings forth Taiwaskivi, an opulent work of solar ambience and primordial Ur-music.
Taiwaskivi, a work of sonic flame and aural ash, consists of seven interrelated tracks, utilizing such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussions and various string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies.
An air of finality abounds, as Taiwaskivi, although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation – a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, Taiwaskivi is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skybound nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All.
Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet. Two different editions are available; regular CD edition and CD + DVD with inserts. Both are limited to 500 copies.
St. J1 Parlabane, accompanied by three additional tracks, has been
added to our player. In one week's time, Tempus Null, in proto-form,
will be complete. The EndE has nearly claimed us.
