Crucial Blast is
preparing Spectre Music Of An Antiquary, the sought out-of-print 2012
album from UK ambient/black/noise metal entity, EMIT, to be reintroduced
to the population at the end of October.
The latest album of
murky graveyard ambience, deranged synth, phantasmic dread and ritualistic black
drift from this cult UK outfit, their first in nearly ten years is surrealistic,
spectral music and nocturnal delirium transmitted from beyond the veil and
steeped in the mysteries of old Britain, like some twisted, eldritch fusion of
Fabio Frizzi, In Umbra Malitiae Ambulabo-era Abruptum, and 80's darkwave. A
must-hear for anyone into the murky surrealistic blackness of artists like
Reverorum ib Malacht (a band that has shared members with EMIT in the
past), Yoga, Occultation, Uno Actu, Utarm, and Dapnom.
No Clean Singing has
hosted one of the album's bizarre, all-consuming passages. The seventh in this
haunting ten chapter manifesto, "Beneath Carvings Linger," warning all who may
wander within earshot of the tune, "Beneath Carvings Linger' is a drifting fog
of shimmering ambience, groaning tones, and esoteric keyboard notes, with a
smattering of crashing noises and the strange vocals that are a dominant
presence on the album (they turn into shudder-inducing shrieks or wordless
chorales elsewhere, but not in this song). It's just a hint of the surrealistic
chill that will sink into your bones over the course of the entire album."
Hear "Beneath
Carvings Linger" at THIS LOCATION.
Spectre Music Of
An Antiquary will now be
available from Crucial Blast via digital download and digipak CD on October
28th, the packaging featuring evocative, all-new artwork. Preorders for both
versions, including an instant download of "Mors Wher Devels Are
Abrod," which is also streaming, RIGHT HERE.
Initially released as
an extremely limited cassette on Glorious North, Spectre Music Of An
Antiquary presents the first new material from EMIT in over five
years, a full-length collection of murky ambiance, deranged '80s style synth,
ritualistic black drift, and stranger sounds forays into black noise. This
British outfit has been creating their unique brand of experimental blackened
delirium since the late '90s, branching out of a low-fi UK black metal band
called Ante Cryst, yet with EMIT, the members began to explore a creepy,
synth-heavy sound that was unmistakably descended from black metal but supremely
more deformed, combining harsh electronic noise, horror-movie soundtrack
atmospherics, droning keyboards, wrecked and fractured black metal guitars, and
bizarre vocals that would often push their music into a strange realm of
hallucinatory, ghastly psychedelia. On Spectre, though, EMIT's
sound has morphed into something that more resembles some mutated, primitive
'80s darkwave being completely taken over by malevolent spirits, with eerie
electronic drones and distant moaning vocals often taking over; very different
from what I've heard from the act in the past, though no less weird or
phantasmagoric. And as with other of the band's offerings, this is concerned
more with the occult lore and hidden history of the British isles than Satanism
or goat worship or any of the other over-used black metal tropes, which all
serves to enhance the wraithlike vibe of these songs.
