this album is a collection of haunting, eerie, and thoroughly mood setting neo-folk. a greatly enjoyable listen and just a hint at what is to come from this talented musician. although a re-release, Oktoberpest by Drowned In Salt was previously only available through the artist's website. we are excited to have this release available now on en stillhet som döden and look forward to more releases from the man behind the moniker, Forseti Runa.

 niemand fickt jemand in Brand is the only release by artist Lauter Ton, a side project of Alexander M. Koch. These tracks were begun in 2002 and left dormant for eight years. When found, they were put through the production process and finished to create the 27 minute 50 second e.p. available here. This is a mix of static noise with dark ambient undertones and harsh noise released on the en stillhet som döden netlabel.

Aois-Dubh - Tablet 4


 Aois-Dubh - Tablet 4 
   1
.The skies roared with thunder and the earth heaved  54.2 MB @ 320 kbps 
2. Then came darkness and a stillness like death 169.9 MB @ 320 kbps 
technically our first release, although being posted here second, Tablet 4 by Aois-Dubh is a 3 hour 48 minute and 56 second album intended to be released on 4 separate discs. however, for best experience it should be listened to on a computer or digital music playing device to prevent overly long time lapses between tracks, and to evoke the original intentions of the artist. The music is based on the feelings, emotions, and thoughts evoked by Tablet four of the great Epic of Gilgamesh, which tells the story of the journey to the cedar forest. On each day of the six-day journey, Gilgamesh prays to Shamash; in response to these prayers, Shamash sends Gilgamesh oracular dreams during the night. The first is not preserved. In the second, Gilgamesh dreams that he wrestles a great bull that splits the ground with his breath. Enkidu interprets the dream for Gilgamesh: the dream means that Shamash, the bull, will protect Gilgamesh. In the third, Gilgamesh dreams:


The skies roared with thunder and the earth heaved,
Then came darkness and a stillness like death.
Lightning smashed the ground and fires blazed out;
Death flooded from the skies.
When the heat died and the fires went out,
The plains had turned to ash.


this last is the inspiration for this release, and for the soundscapes, ambience, noise, and aural exploration within.

technically our second release, although being posted here first, immobiles comme la baie de la mort by Aois-Dubh is a 50 minute 47 second exploration into aural textures. aptly named, meaning in english "motionless as the bay of death," this almost-hour-long dark ambient soundscape is available here for the first time. please click on the above link "immobiles comme la baie de la mort" to download the one-track-album. do not right click and save-as, that will not work for this particular link, although it will work in the future on this and other releases when all material is transferred to another hosting site.
