Wydraddear - Turned to Ice
New name-your-price album of medieval dungeon synth from the French artist also known as Baddoar.
Legions were the Warriors of the army created by the Guardians. Different and alike, united by a single desire to appease the voracious anger and putrid forms that shaped the ranks of the Outcast. Blades, swords and other weapons of war were forged by the breath of the Seven. The fire suffocating the air, burning the land, rivers of lava, oceans of magma. The deafening sound of battle shook the highest mountains mountains, creating torrents of rock. Time was crash and chaos, sinking into dust and clouds of ash, stretching on forever. But a destructive blade ended the confrontation. In a dazzling flash the world was lost in a brutal cold, and everything turned to ice.

Surprise new live album from Crippled Black Phoenix
Instrumental version of last year’s Spider God album, self described as true crime black metal. Enjoy the riffs and melodicism without the harsh vocals
Edit: I love these Spotify previews but they’re killing my phone’s Safari browser today, keep reloading and crashing.

That last track is gorgeous. Reminds me of Jóhann Jóhannsson’s Orphee but… sunnier.

These threads have become an absolute chore to try and read through due to the new Spotify previews. My browser has crashed five times this morning trying to read through this one which is only 36 posts deep and writing up this post has been equally painful. Can we at least have a vote on whether or not to ditch Spotify links, please? @moderators @sean

Long list of people I’ve never heard of is probably my favourite kind of release day tbh. Oh and the Tubs ofc, gotta rep the lads.
It’s Bandcamp Friday and the music that soundtracks the Drowned in Sound podcast is now available - be grateful to anyone supporting this as Sound Mirror kindly offered to record this for me at short notice and it’s a beautiful drone track
