Frozen Woods of Farmington



The new, "proper" album from Arha. Frozen Woods of Farmington is 11 tracks of mostly orthodox black metal, with one Esoteric-influenced ambient drone doom track "Glass Skeletal Fingers Against Lugh", played on slide guitar. The vocals are more adequately mixed this time out, and the overall atmosphere is one of solitary walks in the cemetery and woods by the river in mid-winter in the Northeast, very evocative of both time and place.

(Un) Orthodox Black Metal


Buzzing Guitars. Check. Growled Depths-of Hell vocals. Check. Lyrics about pre-Christian deities. Check.



No blastbeats, cause I don't have a drummer and didn't get around to programming 'em. I loves me some delay and reverb, too. Lousy production values, on account of I only use Audacity (128 bitrate for mp3's) and I'm not great at mixing yet.

New Blackened Drone Doom From Arha!


Beneath is the new recording from Arha. From Intro, which is a Tangerine Dream/Neptune Towers style electronic piece, the recording goes into Catacombs and As It Is Above, So Shall It Be Below which are Drone Doom pieces, with pendulum picking and other Black Metal touches. There is a short electronic interlude, and then the recording closes with Grey Sky, which is a dark ambient murk-fest, with processed voices and bursts of guitar and sine noise interspersed here and there. Enjoy? Is that an appropriate word to use with this type of cathartic, repetitive sludge? Do what thou wilt, that is the whole of the Law......

Terrestrial/Celestial, or Black Metal in Space



Some new Coreopsis/Depression Exorcism recordings. The tracks go together to form an ahem.... concept album of sorts, with the first half examining the effects of climate change on the globe- if the effects of global warming reverse because of extreme weather, resulting in endless freezing rain, which will devastate agriculture and make Earth a generally miserable place to live. The second half celebrates science and the frontier of the near future- space and interstellar travel, which could spell out a signpost for where humanity could go. The black metal piece is mostly atmospheric, but is pro-human, along with being pro-Gaia, and celebratory of the Old Religion, and the psychedelic space-rock harkens back to the heady days of the 1970's when a combination of eco-pessimism and stardust dreams led Dick, LeGuin, Heinlein, Moorcock, etc. to look to the skies and consider.

Black Metal/Doom/Post-Industrial

If you check out the widget, I've just added a piece that I recorded just this morning. It's kind of meta- I worked really hard, slaved, in fact, to make this digitally recorded soft-studio track sound like it was recorded in somebody's basement. Think Burzum remixed!
