Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging 2xLP Reissue

I repressed 'The Purging' of Terra Tenebrosa, but to be correct: it's actually a reissue. Like I did it with Kollapse, I switched the pressing plant with this record, but somehow the plates got lost and the beast needed a new cut.
15 Testpressing have been made and their covers need some time, you know the deal. But anyway, again 500 copies on black vinyl available now.

V.I.T.R.I.O.L. - Purging The Tunnels LP

Terra Tenebrosas V.I.T.R.I.O.L. marks the transformation of The Cuckoo, the main figure behind Terra Tenebrosa, from the albums The Tunnels to The Purging.

This makes totally sense, because the record features two lenghty tracks from both album recording sessions. Side A track Draining The Well is once again a nearly 18 minutes long, oppressing journey through both, the dark mind of The Cuckoo as well as the listener's. It finally erupts from dark ambiances into a loud, violent final. Side B track Apokatastasis has with just about 7 minutes a more straight-forward approach, with guitars well known from Breach. Apokatastasis was the first sign ever from The Cuckoo, it gave birth to Terra Tenebrosa and what became The Tunnels and The Purging. Underlying both tracks are those strange, buzzig vocals, which evoke numerous dark stories and events in the listener's mind. Again and again.

V.I.T.R.I.O.L. - Purging The Tunnels is closing a chapter, it puts an end to the conceptual approach of both albums, The Tunnels and The Purging. The new Terra Tenebrosa according to The Cuckoo is faster, more violent and… ugly.
