| About wereju |
Cathal's blurry, eerie drones have a lot in common with Aidan Baker's solo guitarscapes and the massive string tones of Fear Falls Burning, but this is darker stuff than either of those artists. Heavily processed feedback swells in tide-like form, deep and sonorous, and underneath the warbling ambience is a dark soundworld enveloped in shadow. Muted melancholy melodies appear and disappear, soft whorls of sound and far-off klaxon blasts carry over vast expanses of blackness, and reverberating strings hum suspended in the air. Every once in awhile, the sound will begin to overload and distort, and form into a heavy blackened Sunn O))) like drone, but mostly Wereju inhabits a realm of mysterious, drifting, meditative dark ambience.
Crucial Blast Records
It wasn't massive or heavy or sludgey, instead it was dreamy and mysterious, the low end more soothing than corrosive. There were definitely some intense moments, but for the most part, the sound of Wereju was a gorgeous blackened late night shimmer.
Aquarius Records
And while I was ordering the rerelease of I fall into You by Aidan Baker I happened to order loads of Wereju, drone and drone. I can't say much about it. It's drone, it might be good. It's not bad at least.

Wereju
Dream / Death
C46 Edition of 100
Newest entry in Wereju’s sprawling catalog. Each release takes his signature blackened shimmer to the next level. Here melodies stretch towards infinity, guitar lines snake their way over fog covered rivers, and bleak, low end rumbles moan incessantly.

Wereju - The Light of Life Undone c63
Edition of 75
Ireland’s Cathal Rodgers takes a plunge into the murky pool of life/death and emerges with an epic work of mysterious beauty. Several shades darker than recent Wereju offerings, The Light of Life Undone mixes droning, low-end frequencies with fragile, heartbreaking melodies to conjure a thick fog of melancholy (with a fleeting glimmer of hope). Full color art, inserts, and labels by Matt Yacoub.
