about
After stunning split albums with Aidan Baker, Year of no Light, Labirinto e.a., Canada's thisquietarmy now teams up with Belgium's Syndrome.
Musically, this collaboration seems self-evident. Both bands share a common view on crafting exhilarating soundscapes, and seamlessly blend ambient, drone and post rock elements to thrust their songs to cathartic climaxes. Yet, this release is less self-evident than the premise of this match up suggests. Taking cue from each other's work, both bands were driven to explore a different approach to their craft and aesthetic.
This collaboration is dark and brooding, and explores the boundaries of atonal chaos and noise. Thisquietarmy and Syndrome manage to capture the essence of aural discord, and succeed to restrain, mold and craft it into this fine collection powerful songs. Thisquietarmy and Syndrome transcend the concept of "a split album", and present a dynamic and potently coherent album.
The album comes with a bonus track of a live collaboration between thisquietarmy and Syndrome, recorded during the joint leg of their 2013 tour at Magasin4.

Revolving around improvised drone music, he takes his sonic experimentations further by adding textural and structural elements of post-punk/shoegaze, krautrock/spacerock & black/doom metal to them. The results can be described as dark, melodic, expansive & engaging dreamscapes. ... more

Solstitium Fulminate
by SUNN O)))supported by 6 fans who also own “The Lonely Mountain”
"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.
