“Flames and Ether” in Cassette Gods

Cassette Gods has posted a very nice review of “Flames and Ether”:

“…Brandal’s harnessed the language of near-future dystopia by combining it with “spaghetti western” flourishes, presenting in result an apocalyptic experience, one where the oxymoronic violence and tranquility of the title have converged and spawned. The juxtaposition is strange and majestic. In short, it’s stunning.”

Hidden Persuaders – “Flowers Of the Abyss”

The new Hidden Persuaders album, titled “Flowers Of the Abyss” is out now on the Slovakian label Sky Burial.

The label says:

“Wind and stars… cold, frost, rain, darkness, snow, trees and panting. Glittering clouds of steam rising from the lake. The lake is far away in the mountains and its surface is as a mirror of black velvet. Without a hint of motion it observes the clouds and slowly, beautifully and symetrically, it bleeds into the skies. The sweetest flavour of forbidden fruit. Long and cold are the nights over Bergen, over the avenue of your trees. The death’s-head moth sits at the ceiling of your room.
 Norwegian musician Andreas Brandal with a nearly 40 minute long material of his ritual project HIDDEN PERSUADERS – a musical collage somewhere between raw black metal/harsh noise/drone with pronounced marching passages – a strong atmospheric album.”

This edition is handmade, with lovely graphic design from Svjatogor, and limited to 49 copies, so act fast if you want one!

Check out one full track and excerpts from four others HERE.

“Flames and Ether” on Oxtail Recordings

My new album “Flames and Ether” is out now on Oxtail Recordings. The label says:

“A master of fractured beauty and exquisite melancholy, Andreas Brandal returns to Oxtail Recordings with “Flames and Ether.” Pushing guitar and percussion to the forefront, Brandal envisions a world where sci-fi and spaghetti western aren’t so different after all. At once a studied piece of studio mastery and a rich, emotional transmission, “Flames and Ether” reaffirms his place as one of the most imaginative auteurs in underground music.”

Listen and order HERE.

“The Land Of Perfect Twilight” out now!

My new album “The Land Of Perfect Twilight” is out now on Fluere Tapes. The label says:

“An old home making noises, having its own life in lieu with crackling dated electrical wiring buzzing and whirring which tells its own tale.”
