Sorrow dwells in other midnight landscapes portrayed in these sounds, places made sodden by tears and haunted by crushed souls. The synth melodies also pull the imagination into frigid wastelands shrouded in mist, where death awaits the heedless. In the mind’s eye, the music unveils endless depths of darkness adorned with the mesmerizing shine of celestial bodies, twinkling and glimmering like jewels on a blanket of black velvet. But the greatest contrast to the music’s pulse-pounding physicality and the unhinged, ear-shredding extravagance of the vocals comes from the glistening synth melodies, though they too portray changing moods and shifting visions. There is also potent physicality in the drumming, which is ever-changing in its patterns and energies - battering and thundering one moment, bounding in a lively beat the next, then slowly marching in a stately processional rhythm the next, or vanishing altogether, to allow the sweep of the keyboards to carry you away into realms of wonder.Įven when the drum rhythms are turbulent, the bass provides a kind of moodiness and meditativeness in its tone and pace, though it often enhances the vibrancy of the music’s surging energies. The corroded sounds of the stringed instruments and the wild shrieking vocals raise visions of constricting thorns closing about a howling throat, a conjunction of cruelty and wretchedness. The glamours of the music are manifold, presenting contrasts of striking vibrancy. The album consists of four tracks and 40 minutes of music, and today we have a full stream for you, preceded by a few more thoughts about the dark and delirious enchantments of this experience. While the shrieked vocals are mind-abrading and the drum and bass rhythms have a way of hooking into your pulse, it’s those mystical midnight melodies and ethereal keyboard notes that will carry you aloft into cold and starry skies, mesmerized. “Moonlit magick” is another phrase that appears in the album’s promotional material, and that description is spot-on. “Pure worship of synth-ridden black metal of the early ’90s” is the way the music is described in the press sheets. The other half is now going to be released on March 8th by Iron Bonehead Productions with the title Under Pale Moon. Instead, half the music from that recording session became part of Chaos Moon‘s second album, Languor Into Echoes, Beyond (2007).
A debut album was recorded, but never released. Ringarë is the name of a project that was started 14 years ago by Chaos Moon‘s mainman Esoterica.
