OSKOREIEN - Illusions EP - 2009
www.myspace.com/oskoreienband
Download at their place
BM one-man project hailing from California, USA.
Everything composed, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Jay Valena, featuring Matthew Durkee on harsh vocals.
This is Atmospheric/Ambient Black Metal.
Makes me think of Wolves in the Throne Room sometimes.
Much recommended.
"In Pagan lore, the Oskoreien (loosely translated "The Wild Hunt") were the only connection between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead. Led by Odin, the Norse God of poetry and war, the souls comprising the Oskoreien would travel the land bringing both joy and sorrow, as it was deserved, to the realm of humans."

"The music is thick with atmosphere. There is a subtle beauty to it and each song is a journey on it’s own. At first I felt like I was alone in the forest, or climbing to the top of the mountain to look over land. Then the music took me into a dark city with empty streets. The ground was wet and the lights were reflecting and bleeding into one another. Does anyone else listen to music this way? If so, put this on and let me know where your mind wonders."

EXILED FROM LIGHT - Descending further into Nothingness - 2009
www.myspace.com/exiledfromlight
Download
Depressive Black Metal haling from New Zealand.
This is, again, a one-man project. Lead by a guy called Mort...
This one is his second album under this name.
Recommended only if you dig this kind of Black Metal.
I do so.
"New Zealand's most prolific black metal musician Mort (Winds of Sorrow, When Mine Eyes Blacken) has created a mesmorizing, truly expressive piece of musical art in the form of an intelligent depressive-black metal album that feels both genuine and musically-accomplished. Six great tracks of pure melancholy spreading around 50 minutes of music, and released in a standard jewel-case with an 8 page booklet, this is highly reccomended for all fans of Depressive Black Metal art!"

"Hailing from the unlikely shores of New Zealand Exiled From Light is depressive and atmospheric to the extreme. The synths and slow atmospheric riffs have shades of Burzum though Exiled from Light is far more expressive in its despondency. After the ambient intro, the title track corrodes any semblance of hope that lays within you. Slowly drifting riffs, and sorrowful shrieking vocals scrape away all positive emotions while haunting synths lurk within dense clouds of depression on the track. Lurking Within Twilight has the pacing of a funeral procession, lethargically advancing with grief as its sole concern, periods of tragic synth atmosphere break through the relentless march towards the damp earth. Possessing an almost gothic, new-wave feel, Suffering Waits With Wide Open Eyes is the most oppressive of the songs on the album. The riffs are heavier and darker lending an ominous tone to the depression meanwhile the song in its entirety is monotonous and repetitive instilling a hypnotic effect to the music. A moment of tranquility settles in towards the song's middle with twinkling keys and whimsical drums. If you like your black metal atmospheric and melancholic, Exiled From Light will extinguish all warmth and light from your shivering, naked body."
