The days might be getting longer but we will forever be fascinated by the sound of the night. Our favourite independent/underground releases of April 2021 follow a circular pattern, that infinitely expanded our consciousness in all possible dimensions. The journey begins and ends with ethereal soundscapes composed by Peter Bjärgo and Daemonia Nymphe but not before creating some ceremonial sonic spirals with post-rock, doom metal, punk, post-punk, dark ambient, IDM, always melancholic but dynamic textures. Godspeed You! Black Emperor have returned after four years with their impressive album, “G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!” – accompanied by a political statement that made us jump from our seats in support and solidarity! The new sonic endeavour of Darren J. Holloway (SINNEN, Damselfly) with The German Ocean, has began taking some shape through the debut release of the album ‘The German Ocean‘, full with serene and disquieting soundscapes where subtle melodic alterations are toying with our emotional balance as they ‘break away’ from the sonic distortion that envelops them! Wolvennest, have offered us a ritual in a sonic form entitled ‘MMXX‘ – that has continued to make us shiver every time we listen to its ritualistic, doom, throbbing rhythms and the unapologetically affirmative vocals and lyrics!
We don’t want to tell you how this journey will end and we cannot promise that you might not lose yourselves within this sonic tunnel, but we will only say that with their new EP ‘Witches’ Lullaby‘, Daemonia Nymphe seem to have now actually passed from this world to that of Nymphs!
