Emit Posts "Earthwork Misthill" Track
In one week, the extreme underworld noise specialists from Crucial Blast will unveil the worldwide edition of the out-of-print "Spectre Music Of An Antiquary" by U.K. black metal / ambient outfit Emit.
Today through the help of Ghost Cult Magazine, another sordid tale from the release has been posted as evidence of the album's utter creepiness. Check out "Earthwork Misthill" below.
As with Emit's previous output, the ten movements on "Spectre Music Of An Antiquary" are lyrically more focused on the occult lore and hidden history of the British isles rather than simply uttering Satanic shock value clichés.
Following several years of unavailability, Crucial Blast will reissue "Spectre Music Of An Antiquary" next Tuesday, October 28th as a six-panel digipak featuring evocative, all-new artwork. More...
Emit Streaming "Beneath Carvings Linger"
Crucial Blast is preparing "Spectre Music Of An Antiquary," the out-of-print 2012 album from U.K. ambient black metal entity Emit, to be reintroduced to the population at the end of October. The label comments:
"The latest album of murky graveyard ambience, deranged synth, phantasmic dread and ritualistic black drift from this cult U.K. outfit, their first in nearly ten years is surrealistic, spectral music and nocturnal delirium transmitted from beyond the veil and steeped in the mysteries of old Britain, like some twisted, eldritch fusion of Fabio Frizzi, In Umbra Malitiae Ambulabo-era Abruptum, and 80's darkwave.
"A must-hear for anyone into the murky surrealistic blackness of artists like Reverorum ib Malacht (a band that has shared members with Emit in the past), Yoga, Occultation, Uno Actu, Utarm, and Dapnom."
No Clean Singing is hosting one of the album's bizarre, all-consuming passages. The seventh in this haunting ten chapter manifesto, "Beneath Carvings Linger," can be heard below.
"Spectre Music Of An Antiquary" will be available from Crucial Blast via digital download and digipak CD on October 28th. More...
Emit Re-Releasing "Spectre Music Of An Antiquary"
This October, Crucial Blast Records will officially re-release "Spectre Music Of An Antiquary," the out-of-print 2012 album from U.K. ambient/black/noise metal entity Emit. The label comments:
"A full-length collection of murky ambiance, deranged '80s-style synthesizer-driven, ritualistic black drift, and stranger sound forays into black noise, 'Spectre Music Of An Antiquary' was first released as an extremely limited cassette on Glorious North, marking the first new material from Emit in over five years.
"This British outfit has been creating their unique brand of experimental blackened delirium since the late 1990s, branching out of a low-fi UK black metal band called Ante Cryst. With Emit, the members began to explore a creepy, synth-heavy sound that was unmistakably descended from black metal but supremely more deformed, combining harsh electronic noise, horror-movie soundtrack atmospherics, droning keyboards, wrecked and fractured black metal guitars, and bizarre vocals that would often push the collective's music into a strange realm of hallucinatory, ghastly psychedelia.
"Though on 'Spectre Music Of An Antiquary,' Emit's sound has morphed into something that more resembles some mutated, primitive '80s darkwave being completely taken over by malevolent spirits, with eerie electronic drones and distant moaning vocals often taking over; very different from past recordings, though no less weird or phantasmagoric. And as with other offerings, Spectre is concerned more with the occult lore and hidden history of the British Isles than Satanism or goat worship or any of the other over-used black metal tropes, which all serves to enhance the wraithlike vibe of these songs.
