Description/Reviews:
Compared to Part 1, the second part has more sound design, more production and sounds more full. The ambient aura is reminiscent of epic futuristic battles, with many layers that will tantalize a wide variety of fans. Gerald, who enjoys improvising on the piano, writes all the music and then passes it to Aaron Thier who adds his own style to the drum parts. A cinematic jaunt, full of complexity and energy awaits those curious enough to dive into this fantastic release.

Description/Reviews
With their recent release, Himmelfahrt' Blank Manuskript interweave the masterpiece ‚Death' by the Swedish 70's Prog-Rock Band Dice with their own conceptual work on Dante's 'Divina Commedia'. The result is a mind-blowing sonic journey through the underworld from the hellish abyss into the celestial spheres of heaven. In the accustomed quality, the Austrian ArtRock ensemble celebrates the epic breadth and invites listeners to encounter the realm beyond the short-living, superficial radio format.

Within the blink of an eye and the length of eternity Avem challenge you to find your own meaning in an album strewn with multiple layers. Roughly following one life cycle sequentially, here is a description of the meaning behind each song.

Les Lekin "Died With Fear"


Country: Austria
Genre(s): Instrumental Psychedelic
Label: Tonzonen Records (TON032)
Format: CD, digital, vinyl
Release date: November 20, 2017 (digital), December 1, 2017 (CD, vinyl)
Tracklist
1. Orca (10:38)
2. Inert (10:19)
3. Vast (8:57)
4. Morph (13:34)

Total time: 43:28

Line-up
Peter Gallbauer - guitar
Stefan Willmann - bass
Kerstin Wolf - drums

Description/Reviews
The crushing doom of ‘Orca reliving the cascading stormy seas as the behemoth thrashes through them. The trippier interior of ‘Inert’ takes you deep within your mind, as those previous Pink Floyd tendencies are developed into something much more of their own making, as Les Lekin find their own voice behind the music. It’s music which becomes a kind of symbiotic reaction between player and listener as each seek to link themselves into the story. It’s heavy psych as it should be done, never over-reliant on repetition, but on finding those weirder nuances within sound.

Description/Reviews
PeroPero’s complex and explosive grooves confront drums and guitar with wafting analogue synthesizers, while psycho-aggressive chanting is preaching about an invasion from deep space.
The duo’s musical spectrum cannot be easily put into a few words – it reaches from math rock and prog rock to stoner metal.
