CONCILIUM (Portuguese Black Metal): “Sky Bvrial” – Release Announcement
Welcome to the Sky Burial (Tibetan: བྱ་གཏོར་), the ancient Himalayan ritual burial dating back to centuries of the Tibetan Buddhism tradition of taking the bodies of the deceased amongst the highest peaks to be dismembered and consumed at sacred burial grounds by vultures and other scavenging animals, and then dissolved by the high altitude elements, or as the tradition states, to be returned to the sky. What may seem a brutal or savage practice to western eyes in reality is a revered and elitarian burial in ancient Himalayan culture, and this concept borrowed by Portuguese black metal nekromancers Concilium for their immense third offering “Sky Bvrial” has laid the foundations for an absolute beast of an album and for one of the most otherworldly and death-scarred extreme metal releases of the year.
Track Premiere: Concilium – “Between The Moon And The Mountain”
Recorded and mixed by Chris “Scary” Adams (Black Tusk) and mastered by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust), All Hail The Night contains six tracks: three completely new songs featuring a guest solo and additional vocals by Nate Garnette of American metal legends Skeletonwitch and three re-imagined, re-invigorated songs from the band’s earliest days.

New Age musician Julian Loida evokes the memory of “Giverny,” the home of Claude Monet
“Giverny” is the opening song on Loida’s upcoming sophomore LP. It is the small town outside of Paris where Claude Monet lived, worked, and changed the world through his paintings. The light in this town is soft and warm, where “golden hour” is all day, serene.
Loida visited the town twice in his travels. When this music came to him, the sound and feeling of this piece reminded him of Giverny – the light, the feeling of walking through this artist’s gardens and grounds. As memories are, many times they come to us before we even remember.
