The approach is considerably different, however. THECODONTION signals a sharp turn for their style, a renewed sound which now features a heavy usage of keyboards and Moog-like synthesizers (courtesy of Stefano Allegretti, guitarist\/keyboardist of psychedelic death metal band BEDSORE), adding to their wailing reverberated lead sections, and the inclusion V.P. and L.S. now performing as stable lineup members. The result is an ethereal, atmospheric death metal sound colliding with their double bass grinding clangor. CEREMENTED instead chooses an in-your-face, stripped down death\/doom metal approach with disturbing bass feedbacks and cavernous low grunts. A dripping horror voyage into primal landscapes of annihilation, alternating slower sludgy sections and faster, ultra-distorted bass riffs. A coarse sonic drape heralding the return of this US band afer their 2019 split with Malefic Levitation.\u003cbr\u003e\nTHECODONTION’s side focuses on two prehistoric marine arthropods which both lived during the Cambrian period (about 520 million years ago): the Trilobite and the Hallucigenia. The former was presumably an ancestor of horseshoe crabs and it existed in oceans for almost 270 million years, surviving the Cambrian extinction all the way to the Permian. The latter was an ancestor of velvet worms and had an eccentric history of study: at first it was thought that this creature walked on its long legs but it has since then been “reversed”, its legs being defensive spines on its back instead. The third song “La Torre” is a cover of Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, a massive inspiration for the band and their first foray into clean vocals usage. CEREMENTED’s side deals with destructive forces of nature and cataclysmic events that forever torn away our planet’s continuum, the metaphorical force of an extinction which wiped away most living creatures, with only few species surviving.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cover artwork has been exquisitely executed by Icelandic artist Skaðvaldur (Graveater, Urðun), an abstract depiction of prehistoric invertebrates wallowing amidst the trembling telluric depths of the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thecodontion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56510549197145,"sku":"IVR212CD","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/8516\/3806\/files\/IVR212-Thecodontion-Ceremented.jpg?v=1761811636"},{"product_id":"todesstoss-hirngemeer-cd","title":"Todesstoss - Hirngemeer CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eLead by German musician, poet and painter Martin Lang, TODESSTOSS (in German, “Deathblow”) have always been a trapdoor to weird places beyond our common, boring existences.

The album was born out of the idea of experimenting with oriental music, using a metal instrumentation. It was decided by Ayloss not to study the music beforehand, but to invoke the unconscious remembrance of it (one that is very present in the substratum of Greek folk music and culture) in order to get it out distorted and mixed, hopefully in an interesting way, with the usual elements of metal and western scales, to create thusly a kind of fusion.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis concept brought forth several ideas, which became the basis for not only the lyrics of the album, but for a wider philosophical and spiritual meditation which took place around the making of the album. Gnosis is a greek word meaning \"Knowledge\" and is used in the sense of mystical enlightenment. The synthesis of opposites, of conscious and unconscious, of the seemingly opposing cultures of East and West, of body and \"soul\", rationality and irrationality, to attain higher levels of reality. \"Gnosis\" goes as far as to propose a kind of evolutionary, emerging (out of matter) spirituality, in which man lies in an important place as part of the cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vocals in this release are not uttered but performed as spaced-out whispers and screams, to further enhance the tension between current and transitory states.
