SIGNAL REX is proud to present an epic new mini-album from ZALMOXIS, A Noctural Emanation, on cassette and single-sided 12" vinyl formats.
ZALMOXIS stands for storming and epic German Black Metal. Still early days, this concurrent project of Fortress of the Olden Days mainman Entheogen has so far released two demos - the latter of which, Pralayic Beheading, was released by brother label HARVEST OF DEATH. These early works suggested a restless soul steeped in the ancients, black metal of a most medieval vintage.
Now ZALMOXIS strikes back with an ambitious 25-minute single track ominously bearing the title A Nocturnal Emanation. A none-more-apt description of its contents if there ever was one, here Entheogen patiently builds an ethereal-yet-thick fog of sorcerous swirl, its strangely alluring spell drowning the listener in dissonace and dislocated melody. And yet, despite its grandiose length, A Nocturnal Emanation manages to engage at every step, each one rife with grim abandon and on the verge of self-combustion but then righting itself into a surprising twist of texture. This misty 'n' mystical landscape beckons complete immersion...dare you enter?
Mastered at Trollhouse Studios by Henri Sorvali (Moonsorrow)

This album separates mere foolish wannabes and trendsetters from classics and immortals. It is the pinnacle of finding its unique sound in a proven plethora of genres and recipes. A dose of well-tempered and melancholic BM subjected to a right dosage of reverberation. Brilliant drumming, exquisite staccato guitar riffs. Bravo messieurs. Deadpanist
This wild 35-track all-metal benefit album features Mare Cognitum, Panopticon, and more reinventing songs by Tori Amos & others. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 3, 2020

It is, quite simply, mindblowingly amazing. So many bands try to deliver trance-like experiences within a black metal framework but óreida actually succeeds. And how. There should be a picture of this album next to the word 'immersive' in the illustrated dictionary. bjornvegan
