Today we're sending the compilation to Ektoplazm and hopefully it will be posted on their website sometime around Christmas, since it's our final release for 2014, I would like to take an opportunity to thank you all for the support and great feedback! This weekend we're already moving on to new projects and more updates and news will be posted soon!

Radiator owned. Good job!

One of the finest EP's released this year. Highly recommended. Here is trippy trailer below: A Treatise on Resurrection and the Afterlife is the debut relesae from California based blackened doom outfit Bog Oak. Although the band's name would suggest some type of sludge-laden, bottom dredging style of music, the band's sound is more in line with the Finnish psychedelic doom movement of late. It shouldn't be surprising, then, that the band is signed to the linchpin of that movement, Svart Records. Seemingly infatuated with the occult and dark philosophy, Bog Oak's lyrical themes touch upon the writings of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and the doctrines of Satanic extremist groups such as the Order of Nine Angels and the Temple of the Black Light. Even more intriguing, yet, is the group's focus on Islamic mysticism: the existentialism of Mulla Sadra's Causal Nexus; the sage philosophy of Suhrawardi; and the focus on life and death in Al-Ghazali's The Alchemy of Happiness. Surely many bands delve into occult writings and touch upon the imagery of Laveyan Satanism, but few dare to swim the waters that Bog Oak have been stirring. The album's title, A Treatise on Resurrection and the Afterlife, coupled with the mystical cover art, show a band attempting to connect their fuzz-laden, bass heavy doom metal with something greater than mere sound mediums. The music is heavy and trudging, but Bog Oak manages to keep things rolling along. “The Resurrection of Animals”, for instance, starts off with a punchy and reverberating bass line before fuzzed out, chunky guitars kick in. The music certainly fits with the bass heavy, plodding style of their genre kin, but where Bog Oak stands out is with the stellar vocal performance. That's not saying that the music is lackluster, because it certainly is not, as each track breathes a mystical life all it's own, such as the wall of sound monstrosity that is “Time Drift of Seasons” or the serene atmospherics and rollicking patterns of “A Sea Without Shore”, yet Julie Seymour's versatile vocal performance dwarfs the instrumentation. Effortlessly switching between what sounds like a bellowing inward blackened rasp and a smooth, ethereal cleans, the vocals help to lift Bog Oak shoulders above most of their competition. A Treatise on Resurrection and the Afterlife is a solid addition to the Svart Records repertoire and should definitely please fans of their doom-laden roster. Bog Oak adds blackened touches and ethereal psychedelia to a heavy handed doom sound and those occult leanings just make it that much more substantial. This EP is supposedly paving the way for the band's full length debut, which is due to drop sometime in 2015. Written for The Metal Observer.

That one fits the description perfectly!

Unfortunaley, people who are fighting against eachother in Donetsk and Lugansk didn't learn anything from Yugoslavian civil war. Entering the final phase Blood, Fire, War, Kill Ritual, Blood spilled Blood, Fire, Black Death Under the sign of the black flag Blood, Fire, War, Dust Confrontation is a must Blood fuels the prophets of destruction Blood staining their profits from corruption Fire is all consuming, never ending Flames burn eternal, never ending And these war pigs deliver all their madness War criminals thrive on death and sadness Hate Breeds hate breeds hate, whoa Blood, Fire, War, Hate will never end

Time Has A Mouth climax was one of the most epic moments I've heard this whole year and still it makes me dance in my room like a madman. The aim of this release and the mission of Neogoa is the same - to deliver something different, psychedelic but yet daring. Thank you so much for kind words and I hope this little release will get a review treatment soon! Feel free to share it!

Yeah, I asked them and they're cool with that, just make sure to leave a link to article

I think it would be cool, not sure about copyright, but I think they won't mind if you leave a direct link to their website. I'll ask to make sure

Here is latest interview with Imba, made for goatrance.hu. I tought it's worth sharing it with Psynews, especially because the interviews section doesn't got a lot of updates in recent times: http://goatrance.hu/en/imba-interju/ Some other great interviews at their website: Interview with Joske/Mars (Suntrip Records): http://goatrance.hu/en/suntrip-10-interview/ Interview with Kanc (Goasia): http://goatrance.hu/en/a-keteltuek-elete-az-urben-goasia-interju/

Instead of writting personal things on public forum such as Psynews (about a girl that you ''care'' about), approach her, tell her what you think/feel. If you don't have balls to do that, you're a coward and you probably doesn't deserve her as a friend/colleague/something more. Posting her pictures here also is lame and immature.

Yeah, very catchy song.

Play her this romantic trance music.

Wrong.

I will commend. I think it's not the best ambient tune by AP for sure. It got some interesting moments, but in the end it's just downtempo remix of Tryptomine Dream and as a remix it's okayish. Ambient Galaxy (Disco Valley Mix) in my book is the top of the pyramid regarding the slower Astral Projection sound.

Hehe. Well, I'm sure that people who are into our music won't have hard time figure out the artists who are collaborating on this project by their sound. But as you said, let's play. Goa trance should be playful, innovative and always moving forward.

To unlock the artists featured on this compilation, you'll have to follow the special inlay visuals of our upcoming 4 releases, including: Dragon Twins, Celestial Transvibrations in 2014 and JaraLuca EP and Jagoa EP in 2015.

Tracklist added in first post!

It's a bit too fast for my taste, but it got interesting details. I wish one day somebody will bring back the vibe of early and mid 00's darkpsy.

SPECTRAL LORE - III (May 2nd 2014. - I, Voidhanger Records) DISC 1:Omphalos (07:28) The Veiled Garden (16:32) The Cold March Towards Eternal Brightness (14:42) Drifting Through Moss and Ancient Stone (11:26) DISC 2: The Spiral Fountain (10:46) A Rider Through the Lands of an Infinite Dreamscape (12:45) Cosmic Significance (13:51) O Dream, a painter you are, vivid and exquisite. Winged and unchained, you lead me into worlds of lightness and magnitude. But the soil I set my foot on, is the sole I can feel. And so you return me, dazzled and bewitched, each time to it. Cold and hard it has turned, unattended. Where is my Will? Where is my Persistance? In my Dreamland I am Strong and Unbending. Soaring the Skies, defeating Tyrants, facing the Sun. The soil hides roots that go deep into the earth. With toil they are kindled, unveiling fruit hidden within. Slowly I must tender them. Each fruit is also a Dream. Of texture harsh, of weight considerable. If opened, it reveals a world of its own. Unique and unimaginable. But, things of Matter are harsh for my hands. They bleed from the thorns of Struggle and Neccesity. Their painful embrace triggers rememberance, Of scornful past and accursed future. A burning ache in the chest, in the eyes, The grotesque dance of vermin under the skin And the fog starts to set back in again. ~ I awake within the forest. It is unusually solemn and contemplative, Almost sensuous in its near silence of faint gust and rustling. A drifting presence is felt near the bounds of my senses. Through the silver pathways of the forest I hunt for it. I cannot reach but its mirage, which gracefully flees. A trail with blood on its side appears. It leads to a deer which had its throat cut open. Then to a woman, severed in the same manner. Not with terror, but in inexplicable awe I move on. The red path ends in a garden surrounded by shadows. An altar lies inside, besides it, a dark figure. It holds two severed heads, each one the source of a crimson river. It turns over to me. The memory brutally unveils the curtain of "I" I look, eye to eye, to the concealed Truth of ages past. It commands me, pointing into the white stone. The urge to submit is abominable. I look away and run towards the Sun. In hope it is real and not part of a scenery that's falling apart. With every last ounce of strength, I throw myself towards the scorching heat. Defiant Fire of Judgement, for Now and Forever, measure my Spirit! In 2006-2007, Spectral Lore debuted with their albums ‘I’ and ‘II’ and nearly a decade later have come back to form with the moving and striking new album aptly titled ‘III’. Spectral Lore is not a band, so to speak, but really behind the veil of anonymity is the sole Greek musician nicknamed Ayloss who is some sort of Metal version of the “man behind the curtain” from The Wizard of Oz. And that would also be saying that Ayloss is a wizard himself. Maybe not of the traditional pop culture interpretation of a wizard who can wield magic at will. No, this is a different kind of sorcerer who can illuminate, decimate and recreate entire worlds within the music he makes. Listening to Spectral Lore for the first time in one sitting is really quite a strange and mystical experience. A song from ‘III’, like “Omphalos”, sweeps in near the end with these incredible, soaring, melodic lead guitars. The infectious rhythms of the other instruments sway underneath and take you to places inside of your imagination lit by the tinges of your emotional experiences of the music as its being played. Then comes in a breathtaking woodwind and string interlude in the middle of “The Veiled Garden” seated side-by-side with a mercilessly raw and twisted Black Metal passage that builds exponentially in fury before expiring on a delicate acoustic guitar passage overdubbing the sounds of a forest at night, crickets, howling wolves and all. And this sixteen minute-long soundscape journey is only the second track on this two disc digipak! This entire album really is a humungous audible rainbow using sonic colors from the dark murky shades to the bright, shimmering glows. The riffs have distinct and clear characters to them that are as distinguishable as the color yellow to the color purple to the color blue. There is a wealth of variety among the songs and compositional genius of this record to enjoy. The track-lengths may come off as intimidating before your first listen but you will discover that the need for almost all of these songs to need over ten minutes of your time and attention is entirely appropriate. Keep in mind that all this is being made entirely by one single musician. This album is an odyssey to every extent of the word. If you know anything about ancient world history, odysseys have been long-perfected by Greek artists and poets and Ayloss, in this sense, continues Homer’s regal story-telling tradition with the utmost class and respect on ‘III’. If Ayloss truly did perform every single instrument on this album, then the man is a genius artist. The musicianship on ‘III’ is world-class with melodies, vocals and rhythms that are haunting and expressive. You can expect to hear flute, cello, fiddle, clarinet, harp and piano on this album interspersed between the long epic song compositions. It’s almost unbelievable that he played it all along with the drums, guitars, bass, keyboards and vocals. That is so amazing! Despite never hearing any of the band’s previous releases, despite not knowing anything about this band at all, Spectral Lore have made one of the best albums I have listened to in quite a while. This is not a modestly good album, ‘III’ is an album that is easily one of the best releases I have heard so far in the past 4 years. I was completely blown away. If you are into bands like Bel’Akor, Agalloch, Krallice, Opeth or are really into Progressive music (there is so much folk and classical on the record), you will really appreciate this amazing album.
