Suma and Ethereal Riffian Tapes Available for Preorder via Tartarus Records
Posted in Whathaveyou on February 10th, 2014 by JJ KoczanOn the heels of a colored vinyl split between Undersmile and Bismuth, Netherlands-based imprint Tartarus Records has begun to take preorders for its next two releases, Suma‘s You’re Such a Disappointment: A Split Compilation 2005-2012 and Ethereal Riffian‘s new album, Aeonian. Both are also up for streaming through Tartarus‘ Bandcamp, which as fate would have it is where the preorder links go. Funny how these things work out.
Look and listen:
SUMA and Ethereal Riffian cassettes now available for preorder
The Bismuth / Undersmile split LP has landed a few weeks ago and is now available at our shop. Colored vinyl is sold out, but black vinyl is still available. Highly recommended!
On this month’s menu I have Suma’s ep/split comp You’re Such A Disappointment and the brand new album Aeonian by Ethereal Riffian. A dish best served cold and preferably in space.
TAR026 SUMA – You’re Such A Disappointment: A Split Compilation 2005 – 2012
Hailing from Malmö, Sweden and formed in 2001 : SUMA has been spreading the plague of their sonic weight, noise-ridden hallucinatory doom metal on the world for the past decade. Through these years they’ve lured hordes of humans into the lair with their devastatingly heavy, one way trip into the vortex live performances and crushing delivery on their recorded matters.
This cassette is a compilation of the EP’s and splits they did with bands like Pyramido, Ultraphallus and Unearthly Trance.
Edition of 100 silver cassettes
Comes in a screenprinted cardstock case
TAR027 – Ethereal Riffian – Aeonian
“The second full-length album called Aeonian is the band’s most mature work, which unites all the best talents of its members. The eponimous book merged as a result of our intention to fully disclose the ideas and concepts of this album. While working on the narrative, we realized that from now on books would become an integral part of the band’s creative work, for they let reinforce the images created by the music and inculcate them in the consciousness of our listeners.
The band’s activity has two main objectives: to compose unconventional music, which is able to expand the frames of the listener’s musical perception, and to shed light on the existence of a subtler plane, whose laws if understood properly may help to perceive the reality on a deeper level. In order to achieve the abovementioned goals, we diligently work on each new release. That is exactly why the ones who get acquainted with the creative work of our band need to be very attentive.
We sincerely hope that the message care-fully integrated in our music is able to induce our listeners, and now our readers as well, to open up the new facets of existence and kindle the light of their true self, which will not dim even in the darkest nooks of Sheol.” -Ethereal Riffian
