Vlürch - Empyreal Obtenebration (2022)

 The new album is finished! It would've ended up longer and better if I didn't stick to my "one album per year" schedule, but I feel like I need to stick to that schedule or I'll risk getting just as sporadic with solo releases as Deformed Elephant Surgery, so... yeah, this album may not be perfect (as if anything I did was), but at least I hope some people will find it listenable.

I should probably explain why this album has the same title as an album I made as Heave the Sun back in 2012 (ten years ago wtf!) since some people might think "really? is THIS how little creativity you have left???". Basically, as soon as that album was finished, I thought "I want to do better versions of these songs later", and in 2020 I already did a new version of "Feeding the Demiurge" for the album "Numen" (not necessarily a better version, since I couldn't figure out how to recreate that weird synth sound from the original song anymore, but...)

 So, doing new versions of the other songs from that album is what I meant to do on this album, but... well, it didn't exactly turn out that way, since it's just the title track. Still, it's the title track of that album, so I thought I should call this album with the same name. Makes sense, right? I really wanted to do new versions of "Living Shadows of Abraxas" and "Venom of the Seraphim", too, but there was some shit that made me not have enough time or motivation. So, I might expand this album later, if I get around to it in 2023 or even later... who knows.

"Coulrophobia" and "Synderesis" were already released as singles, but I'll still mention how happy I am about Jared Spry's sax magic on the former and Slow Crone's guitar solo on the latter! Those songs just wouldn't be the same without their contributions, so... yeah. Also, another friend who wanted to remain anonymous (so he went by Puke Borb lol) did microtonal guitar to a couple of parts of "Trypophilia", which is pretty epic, really enhanced the atmosphere!

This is definitely my heaviest and noisiest album, but also the most accessible in the sense that it's probably the closest to any genre of standard metal I've ever done. The title track does push into some kind of avant-garde territory, though, I guess.

Heave the Sun - Ritual Metamorphoses (2012)

Even though I hadn't been posting anything about doing a new Heave the Sun album, well, that's what's finished now. :P Well, an EP, I suppose. An EP that's an hour long. Yeah, it's a full-length album, okay? Although, only half of the songs are new, the rest are remastered/re-recorded versions of older songs, including a 20 minutes long version of "Feeding the Demiurge". I'm sure someone will like it. If not, well, it's okay.

01. Four-Dimensional Fractal Maze
02. Ritual of the Pegasus (by Which the Megalith Tribes Embodied Droughts)
03. Miniature Sphinx
04. Metamorphosis of the Prophet to Light
05. Violent Surgical Prophecy
06. Feeding the Demiurge

...and download: http://www.mediafire.com/?izqcbolj5b65a76

Of course, I've uploaded all of the songs to Youtube, so click the song names if you want to listen them there.

I'm pretty proud of it, especially the song "Violent Surgical Prophecy", since it kind of turned out the way I wanted it to be, instead of just something that was a fail at something and an unintentional success at something else.

If anyone has a music blog and they want to post this, please do, or if you just want to tell your friends who might like it, tell them, since, you know, that'd be nice, since I'm a selfish asshole. Yeah, wanting people to listen my music makes me a selfish asshole. That's not my logic, but everyone else's, apparently... since it makes me a "mainstream person" in some fucked up way. Oh well. :P

Paavo Väyrynen on kaunis + Ritual of the Pegasus

So, I didn't post about this before for some reason, probably because I forgot. It's the first song I've made with lyrics in finnish (excluding bands with other people where I wasn't the only person doing lyrics) and it's about Paavo Väyrynen, a finnish politician, and how he's supposedly beautiful and handsome, etc. which is obviously a joke. Anyway, it's pop/dance/whatever, some gay stuff like that. :P No one will ever like it, but that doesn't matter.


But yeah, I also didn't post about this new Heave the Sun track, which is named "Ritual of the Pegasus (by which the Megalith Tribes Embodied Droughts)", which is sort of like, well... something.

Heave the Sun - Elysium and Inferno (2012)

I hadn't really posted anything about doing this, but yeah, two new full-length Heave the Sun albums. How do I do stuff so fast? Well, there's a very simple explanation to why these two were finished so soon after the first album and the DES album that just happened to get finished around the same time; "Inferno" was already 75% done by the time I finished "Empyreal Obtenebration", like some people might know, although I'm not sure how they could know that. Anyway, "Elysium" pretty much came in one huge surge of inspiration. But they're so different that it'd feel wrong to clump all songs together on the same album ("Elysium" is folk rock/prog metal/post-rock or something like that, "Inferno" is symphonic/industrial black/death metal) so... this is the best way to do it, I think.
