Oh man.... that piece Alice floors me.  Nice call.  I think Sunn 0))) really broke some new ground on that last album.  It's a shame they've taken so long to record a follow up.  It's been three years now, hasn't it?

Try Shub-Niggurath, you won't be disappointed.



Yeah, it doesn't really get darker than Shub-Niggurath.

I was thinking about this italian albums:
Il Belleto Di Bronzo's "YS".
Metamorphosis' "Inferno".

Lots of keyboards and instrumental passages.

It was wonderful, but to me not dark, in fact I found it rather uplifting!

Really liking the doom-laden bass grumbling of Shub-Niggurath with operatic warbles juxtaposed...

Thanks for the videos. Aviva Omnibus and Tiemko weren't quite my cup of tea...the track by Chance Machine is very interesting though. Other than a couple of tracks on Youtube I can't seem to find any information about the artist, do you know more?

I will investigate further - thanks for the suggestions.

Yes I do...I'm the bloke. Nice to meet you! Have you checked the links on my youtube channel ?

In the mid-nineties I'd bought  sound module Roland JV 1080, and spent quite much time exploring it (notably interested in LFO, flanged echos used as notes, pitch-bend soloing / tonefitting, alternative tuning).
Lately tracks like Scansion were remixed with drum + bass sampled sounds.

Check out the Mexican group Arteria, they have a heavy UZ influence.



I'd also recommend Archaia, very dark & moody.

Pleased to meet you also!  I have checked out your channel.  I like what you did on these tracks, very interesting use of the Roland, are you still experimenting?

I ordered the first two S-N albums and have also downloaded the third, Testament.  I like it quite a bit, though to my ears they were no longer any type of rock band by this stage - this is a lot closer to the free jazz / improv part of my collection...

Wow...that is intense. And fully improv!  Thanks for the links.

There's a Yugoslavian (Slovenian from memory, maybe Croatian) band I had an album of once.  I don't think they're here at P.A. - it was too messed up and hideous for my taste so I got rid of it.  The band name - LAIBACH.  The album I had (don't recall its title) had some dark picture on the cover with a deer skull on it.  Might be something you'd like.......

Is it this one?
Laibach - Neu Konservatiw - album cover

I don't have Neu Konservativ, but I've got their Opus Dei album which is recommendable, if you're into dark industrial Faust-like stagnancy.

BTW Monsieur Ozric - may I just say thank you for all the music you've made me buy on a whim after reading one of your reviews. I am a small fortune poorer because of you and John the MellotronLOL So yeah thank you both....

Sir Guldbamsen !!  Nice to make your on-line acquaintance Handshake.  Slight detour from the topic-at-hand....I can't recall the title at all (must be dementia....Confused).  Love reading your reviews - I don't review often enough (and I think I over-rate in many cases...). Mellotron John on the other hand......twas your's and John's review that prompted me to get the vinyl of Amoeba Split recently. Aaah yeah, those hills of Grey and Pink......a far cry from Shub Niggurath...Thanks to all.

The feeling is mutual good sirHandshake Hahah gotta love the internet eh?
I'm glad that Amoeba Split album reaches somebody's ears, because it is quite frankly stunning. Not often you come across albums that keep all of the quintessential Canterbury flair intact. 

In keeping with this thread though, and before we get ahead of ourselves - what about some Finnish Krautrock a la CAN?
