Just Added: Three CD's By The Mighty ETHERNAL

It is with great pleasure we bring you three of the best releases we've heard in a long time. ETHERNAL open portals to other realms and time forgotten in a balance of aggression, melody and that old black (metal) magick! 

ETHERNAL - ARKIOAS $10.00 + S&H
Arkioas:
Limited Addition Digipack, beautifully designed by Ethernal, Dan Capp and Maria Kenney. Includes a lavish inlay denoting the lyrics and symbols of esoteric gnosis contained.
Ethernal - Arkioas - adds intriguing atmospheric and progressive parts to a base of old-school black metal. Not raw and frostbitten, the production is warm, the drums are natural sounding (and wonderfully played), and the guitars have a kind of rounded buzzing sound. Catchy, almost thrashy riffing gives way to epic passages, some with clean and acoustic guitars and lots of reverb and sustain. The title track even has a long passage with clean echoing picking, that wouldn't have been out of place on an early Pink Floyd album. This is a black metal band that doesn't sound like many other black metal bands.

'“Arkioas” is the kind of album that I could happily listen to on repeat for hours (or days) on end. I wouldn’t change a thing. At all. The fact that this album has somehow made me this obsessed, enthused and excited about it in such a short space of time is a true testement to the quality of work contained on it. This is something very special indeed.

ETHERNAL - GRIM ETHERNITY $10.00 + S&H
Grim Ethernity:
Original Unholy Design pressing of Grim Ethernity, jewel case, inlay including lyrics.
To me, ‘Grim Ethernity’ merely proves that Ethernal are obviously comfortable in their own skin, neither trying to impress the kvlt babies or flummox the prog noodlers. It’s rare for a band to have their own sound these days, but these guys certainly have managed it. Don’t believe me? Check ‘em out and hear for yourself."

ETHERNAL - BLACK SUN EP $5.00
Black Sun EP:
Promo produced before Arkioas, 2 tracks: Order Of The Black Sun and Ravens At dusk. A Mix and Recording not featured on Arkioas.

Acausal Occult Black Metal

ETHERNAL
Biography
At the dawning of the Galactic Aeon, Ethernal was summoned from within the Singularity to awaken those few who could still hear the voice of the Ether.
Drawing on influences ranging from Prog Rock, Classical and Metal, they forged their first demos in 2003/04. A unique, uncompromising, sonic voice for the Infinite Singularity to perpetuate into the causal world.
 
Ethernal released their critically acclaimed album "Grim Ethernity' in 2008. Self funded and self produced, It received excellent reviews for it's status. 
After a select few devastating live performances over 2010/11 the band embarked on recording their second full length, 'Arkioas'. A reality shattering sonic hymn to the Ether was unleashed. Uncompromisingly archaic, Arkioas was released in 2012 and reflected the bands love for early to mid 90s Black Metal, as well as it's esoteric and occult values.
"...a nature oriented black metal that is also very esoteric and mind-expansive through the use of epic instrumentation."
Nocturnal Cult

Veil of Thorns - GOTHRONOMICON First Chapter In Music & Art


Veil of Thorns - GOTHRONOMICON CD
$12.00 + S&H


The dreaded GOTHRONOMICON has been brought to us and is being translated by mute scribes and the content held therein tested by fearless and skilled mages, though a few have been lost between space...

We have a tip on where to find the gothrapocrypha and some info on what it will take to obtain it. We hope to get this process on film.
Of his madness many things are told. I, P. Emerson Williams, Ferenc Teglas and Aidan McGoran marauded mythic R'lly'yeh, or City of Pillocks, and to have found beneath the ruins of a certain nameless desert town the shocking annals and secrets of a race of atomic supermen older than humankind. They were only different Gothramaritans, worshipping unknown entities whom they called flogsogoth and necro cryptu.  
As i stood here below, methought their eyes were four full moons: Ferenc Teglas and Aidan McGoran had a thousand noses; horns whelked and wavèd like the enridgèd sea: they were a pair of fiends. And I summoned again to stand before me Ferenc Teglas and Aidan McGoran, the burning idols of demons, and I sat them down on raised seats of honour, and said to them: "why art thou agog, Emperor ov Sonic Electronic Golems and Supreme Overlord ov Git-Fiddles of the necrofuturist veil of thorns?" and they said unto me: "because we alone are the great serpents that came down. for i was first angel in the first heaven" said one, being entitled Ferenczebub. "and I now control all who are bound in the GOTHRONOMICON being titled Aidancifer" said t'other. . .

About thee artist:
In his last years, Williams dwelt in Damask silk, where the Gothronomicon (O Az-If) was written. 
In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal, P. Emerson Williams is depicted as a crude man with dragon-like wings, hands and feet, a second pair of feathered wings after the main, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a wolf or hog. 
The "good" P. Emerson in recent use is largely a literary device (e.g., Maxwell's P. Emerson), though references to good P. Emersons can be found in Hesiod and Shakespeare. In common language, to "P. Emersonize" a person means to characterize or portray them as evil, or as the source of evil.
