Rorcal Streaming New Split Song
In 2011, Rorcal released a first split CD with Solar Flare, today, the second of the four parts of the Rorcal Split Series is available through Cal of Ror Records (Lilium Sova). The following press release was issued about the split:
"This time, we have 3 bands, 3 tracks, 3 approaches. In the aim of creating something special (or uncreating for others), this collaborative work has been a very long process to visualize something more than just a gathering of songs with single identities. But rather to shape a story through 45 minutes of darkness, atmospheric, violent and hysterical waves of sound and screams. Opening with Profond Barathre, followed by Rorcal and finalized by Malvoisie.
"3 chapters to be discovered in one straight listening. The release is presented in a very limited handmade digifile CDr (only 200 copies) in the same format as the collaborative CD released with Solarflare."
The split is available for streaming in the SoundCloud player below, or it can be ordered at this location. More...
Rorcal Streaming Split Release
A few weeks ago, the Rorcal guys and Solar Flare (side-project from Impure Wilhemina) locked themselves for three days in a humid basement (Rorcal's practice room actually) to write and record a collaborative track sounding as heavy as it could be with 2 basses and 3 guitars supported by drums and vocals from Mordor. All has been mastered again by Raph Bovey who produced "Heliogabalus" album last year, and they might be even close to making an Uruk-hai cry for mercy. The band's publicist issued the following press release:
"As concept and guideline, the two entities found inspiration in the poem 'La Ronde sous la Cloche,' taken from the book 'Gaspard de la Nuit,' written by the french poet Aloysius Bertrand… although the legend says that this book was probably written by the devil himself. His text drags you into a world between nightmare, hallucination and darkness which we tried to reproduce musicaly.
"The release is presented in a very limited handmade digifile CDr (only 200 copies) format featuring tracks from Solar Flare and the collaborative song. Exclusively available on Call of Ror label's eshop and for entire streaming on SoundCloud."

Rorcal Writing New Concept Album
Doom band RORCAL is currently in the final writing phase of their second album to be recorded in July 2009. This will be a concept album entitled "Heliogabalus," the name of a Roman emperor that reigned during the fall of the empire.
Thundering records describes the effort: "For this album, RORCAL decided to dive the deepest possible in the darkened abysses of their creative minds. One track. One hour of a music that mutated from Doom/Post HxC to Doom/Drone, closer than ever to major acts such as SUNN -O)))) or NEUROSIS. Slower but also louder, rougher and furious and a thicker sound made with new lectronic instruments such as Kaospad, oscillators, mini-Korg."
The first album of RORCAL, "Myrra Mordvynn Marayaa," is still available on Thundering Records online store, on Amazon, or in digital format through Believe.
