Alrighty Back again with a brand new full length album containing 42 minutes of the real stuff! Industrialized metal with grindcore, black metal and death metal spices without forgetting the occasional twisty melody. This time around the basic premise is more Lovecraftian in a futuristic setting where a person is struggling to convince the world that the days are soon coming to an end, but the character is maddened in the end. Cheery

The crew was the same familiar bunch as with Wasteland: Juha (me) doing everything from the beginning to the end with a few guest vocalists. Kraken from Ars Praesagus did most of the vocals once more and Mikko from Relativity added an evil vocal line on Subjugation.

There's also going to be a small CD print of the album this summer. Most likely 100 pcs. I will also do a 50 pcs print of the previous two full lengths (Conclusion and Wasteland).

As always, GOOD SHIT!

Just downloaded it so I haven't listened just yet, but wanted to say that if you DO do a CD print of this or any of your other stuff I would LOVE to get hold of them.

Lovecraftian is one of my favourite words.

I will try and remember to give some feedback once I have listened to Deep Beneath too.

[Blazingmonga]

Hey dude, just dropping in again to say.....AWESOME!

I put Deep Beneath on today with my Sennheiser wireless headphones while doing the dishes, and it totally blew me away. As with your previous efforts I was very impressed by many things; your killer tone, cutting and layered production and also your well thought out songwriting. One song in particular (I can't check just now) had the most brilliant riff in it. And you programme the drums too, don't you? They sound fantastic.

I have to say I really like the dark ambient sections also. I like that you have the heavy guitar-isms down to a tee but also that you incorporate plenty of electronic sounds either within the songs or between them. Makes for an extremely good listen.

However, listening to very heavy music while doing dishes is dangerous. If I headbang too hard I risk plopping my headphones into the dishwater.

Anyway, well done!

Heh thanks Yes, the drums are still programmed. This time I used Addictive Drums, which sound a bit more realistic than other drum machines I've used.

thanks dude, your stuff is always aweome

This time around the basic premise is more Lovecraftian in a futuristic setting where a person is struggling to convince the world that the days are soon coming to an end, but the character is maddened in the end. Cheery

Yes...yes...this is somehow familiar to me...

Sounding really nice, Sir Wolf!
