Description:

This upcoming release will be the second in an ongoing series of works by Schammasch that draws from Les Chants de Maldoror - one of the 19th century's most fascinating literary works which would later become part of the foundation of the surrealist movement. Sonically, the album charts the continued evolution in the sound of Schammasch; dark, gothy undertones rise often to the surface with sultry spoken word taking centre stage at various points. A pulsating, monolithic rhythm flows through the album with their atmospheric take on post-black metal providing a majestic backdrop - replete with a love for detail and the use of unusual elements like accordions, classical orchestration or industrial soundscapes - to explore existential thoughts on humanity and it's ambivalent relationship to nature. 2024 release.

Issued in a 6-panel digipak with clear tray and an 8-page booklet. Track durations are not printed on the release. [Booklet] Drums recorded in 2021 at Klangschmiede Studio E, Germany. Guitars recorded between 2021 & 2024 at Sanctum Studio, Switzerland. Vocals, acoustic guitars & accordion recorded in 2023 at Q7 Studios, Germany.
