about

Aurora Borealis is proud to present this split CD by two of the lesser known greats from the Northeast of England. TENHORNEDBEAST is the dark vision of Christopher Walton, part of the much feted ENDVRA, masters of 90s dark and occult ambient. 'Law of the needle', clocking in at over 28 minutes, is an oppressive opus of doomed drone, both monolithic and multifaceted. Pure power. "elongated, sinister drone, ...distant, echoing string resonance from bowed guitars and cold, steely walls of distortion" think the good folks at Boomkat, as well they may. Check out his other releases on Cold Spring.

MARZURAAN contribute 'Into countless battles', 13 minutes of narcotic guitar haze. Described by some as 'psychedelic/noise', MARZURAAN features Lee Stokoe of the excellent CULVER (also SKULLFLOWER, INSEMINOID and others...). I think this is my favourite of anything they have done to date. So good, you never want it to end. The gruff metal grunts of the 'Solid Wood' LP have been replaced by a subdued, almost crushed vocal, totally stands out. "acres of textured guitar, low end pressure and brooding drums" say Boomnkat. Can't wait to hear more from MARZURAAN - this is epic, like a bassier, looser, Mogadon-dosed JESU with a man past caring roped in to give his thoughts on where its all gone wrong.
Pete from MARZURAAN created the artwork and layout. Double sided print on heavy textured card with two diecut runic symbols. Comes in a pvc bag. This is an absolute dark gem.

Solstitium Fulminate

supported by 6 fans who also own “'split'”

"Recorded during SUNN O)))s European tour 2005, culminating at Roskilde Festival, Denmark" : laissez-moi vous dire qu'il n'y a pas que cette tournée qui arrive à son point culminant mais aussi Sunn O))) d'un point de vue général car Solstitium Fulminate, qui sert d'appendice à Black One, est un monument qui conjugue noirceur vampirique avec une certaine forme d'absolu. Le ton musical plonge très vite dans les graves pour nous faire entrer dans le royaume de la mort. Attila Csihar est un Charon. Jordan Vauvert

I've been waiting over 20 years for this. Finally an outfit that effectively and efficiently executes on the "Streetcleaner" mechanized metal scaffold. Can't get enough it. A reliable disappointment

If you thought the already amazing Primitive Knot couldn't get any better, you were horribly mistaken!!! Adding even more Motörhead to the sound and not putting any fillers on that one makes it Primitive Knot's best record so far. So get into your car turn up the volume and stomp that f*ckin' throttle into the ground!!! dyre666
