Norwegian black metal godfathers Mayhem headline Decibel’s 12th expedition of the extreme. Support from Mortiis, Imperial Triumphant, and New Skeletal Faces.
Written by Jordan Whiteman, founder of Ancient Meadow Records, this hardback delves deep into the history/evolution of the mystical genre that is dungeon synth.
Dungeon synth master Mortiis will tour the US with support by Brighter Death Now, Sombre Arcane (Sept 4-17), Malfet (Sept 14-28), and appearances by Fogweaver.
Not many unsigned bands have a full-length CD and DVD. The music is a mixture of Gwar and the Misfits, and the homage to horror movies is a cut above camp.
This falls somewhere between Gothic and industrial music. There is always something familiar about each song, yet there are elements to make it unique.
