CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT began as the solo work of multi-instrumentalist Necrosis. The man stands as a prolific veteran of Finland’s esteemed extreme metal landscape; during the past 20 years, his credits include Deathchain, Ajattara, Shade Empire, and Trollheims Grott. Joined by drummer Kassara – himself an equally prolific Finnish veteran whose credits likewise include Deathchain and Trollheims Grott but also Horna, Bythos, Forgotten Horror, Striges, and Black Death Ritual among others – CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT released their self-titled debut demo in 2017. Immediately, the eldritch essence of ’90s Finnish black metal was felt, and the storm was only brewing…

RAC / Oi!

CHAUVES POURRIS was a French skinhead band that was active from 1986 to 1993 and shone during this time alongside other combos from the country of the Gauls such as Legion 88, Bunker 84, Brutal Combat and Evil Skins. In 1992, their last album, the LP “Vaterland”, was released on Herbert Egoldt’s Brühl label Rock-O-Rama Records. This work also relied on the tried and tested mix of powerful Oi!/Punk and socially critical themes, with the title conveying a strong political undertone. “Fatherland” reflected the increasing frustration and social tensions of the time when the songs on this record were created.

Christian Cosentino’s highly acclaimed second album is finally available on vinyl. Melodic and symphonic black metal with a heavy load of progressive elements, taking it another step further than his previous ‘Lawn’ album. Better yet, this new album builds further on the foundations made on ‘Lawn’ with a ton of layers, clean and shrieking vocals and a session drummer that goes up to 300 bpm. Impressive, to say the least.

The songs on this album have, up til this point, only been available on the long sold out extended CD versions of “The Devil´s Songs” that were put out by Dark Dungeon Music and Cold Meat Industry, respectively. The song “The Devil Must Kill” has only ever been available on the Cold Meat Industry compilation CD “Absolute Supper”.

These songs were all recorded not too long after the initial 5 songs (Part 1: Dance of The Dead) that originally appeared on the 10″ EP “The Devil´s Songs” in 1997. By their very nature, these songs are a lot more experimental, and rely heavily on atmospherics, with the exception of “The Devil Must Kill”, which was recorded a bit later, on it´s own, and is a bit of a return to the original “The Devil´s Songs” sounds, albeit the only song with sung vocals Cintecele Diavolui ever did.

Their 2023 latest album on LP.

With “Lumi Vaientaa Kysymykse” we can see still some elements of recent CoO albums, with a lot of soothing, shoegazing melodies passing through, however the pace is rather toned down into a more dragging and Doomy pace, often reminiscing with Katatonia, both in tempo as melody wise, and with an approach more akin to records like “Kuuhun Kahlittu” and some part which are particularly metallic and acrid, such as the beginning of the second track, almost closer to Atvar’s work under Kêres. The Post-Punk basslines however are still always there creating their own shamanistic, hypnotic sound, as well as the feverish experimentalism characteristc of 70s and 80s Psych and Folk rock and adjacent much present in the keyboards and daring, outsider guitarwork, particularly in “Lankeemus”.

Composed during the pandemic-induced lockdown period of 2020/2021, “Isolation” features some of ColdWorld’s most expressive compositions to date. Managing to transcend the conventional sounds pursued in what is best described as the “ambient/depressive” black metal subgenre, ColdWorld’s newest sonic endeavor draws listeners into an incredibly immersive soundscape, rife with lush classical instrumentation and ethereal, yet occasionally harrowing vocals.

Already in the early days „The Stars Are Dead Now“ was advanced with two additional tracks, followed by multiple re-issues showcasing the interest in this recording. However, the record always kept its tense character making it the perfect soundtrack for dreary days. The release comprises of seven titles, one as a fully instrumental ambient track („The Old Ghost In The Well“), and all lyrics and music were solely done by G.B., giving this band and release a rather unparalleled sound. Undoubtedly „The Stars Are Dead Now“ must be considered a true must-have for those involved in a more ambient-rooted kind of black metal and the sounds of isolation.
