| june 2009 release ; antony milton’s deconstructed gypsy / black / doom / bedroom-metal project mrtyu returns with this fine missive of scratchy, lo-fi guitar buzz, violin scrape, occasional drum-machine, and barely determinable vocals (at least that’s what i think that is - listen to the sound-sample) ...
leagues beyond the recent 20 buck spin “blood tantra” set in terms of its detachment from any / all contemporary modes ; highly recommended !!! |

| mrtyu / ornate shroud / tbt010 and sab006
hopefully mrtyu requires little introduction, because the project evades easy description. an odd compound of vedic imagery, metal misanthropy, and violin agony, this music moves away from any particular fan base in pursuit of its distant, darkened idols. ornate shroud is mrtyu’s most potent spawn to date. hewing closer to song form than previous releases, the album conceals antony milton’s violent guitar and violin work behind mrtyu’s characteristic murk. its pieces transition from jagged riffs to eerie ambient scrapes through wooly feedback, approaching the uncanny. although the year is yet young, 2009 will likely not produce a bleaker aggraga record.
edition of 350 180 gm. lps in heavy-stock linen-paper sleeves hand-screened, -cut, and –glued by reuben little of 43rd parallel press.
available from tipped bowler in the us and faunasabbatha in france. |
