about

Material comprises Parabstruse's 'Demo 2007' and two unreleased songs as bonus tracks written from the same year.

At the time, I was heavily enamored with the thought of combining post-rock and black metal, particularly melancholic 2nd wave and the early 2000's rise of USBM and French BM. Some of my influences back then on this were Mono, Ulver, Labradford, GYBE, Mogwai, Eikenskaden, Mystic Forest, Blut Aus Nord, Fleurety, Strid, Grails, Ef. Pretty much any post-rock gaining steam on afterthepostrock.com (now defunct) during that era.

This music exclusively saw exposure on MySpace and Soulseek only. It is essentially all demo material with a little bit of 'remastering' touches -- as best as I could do with the stereo mix of these files and without the original multitracks in my possession. Overall, it was a blend that was still very rough around the edges but perhaps followers of this style and community may find it as an intriguing hidden link to this since-popularized idea. Enjoy.

Blackened screamo, perfected. Actual favorite track? The whole damn album, as loudly as possible. Perpetual despair IS the human condition, and Cara Neir have written the soundtrack. fetusghost
