about

The long-awaited moment is finally here! For the first time ever, Xasthur and Casket of Dreams have paired up to produce this 40-minute crawl through haunted and discordant corridors. This record is an homage to the slow, downward spiral of man into chaos--the troubled mind's plea for the relief of permanent silence; death. "The Hallucination Tunnels" pairs Xasthur's unmistakable gift for macabre, discomforting soundscapes with the melody-writing and structural genius of Casket of Dreams. Both men titans of black metal, each in their own right living pillars of dark music in America, have distilled their creative methods into this innovative approach to dark synth music. The overall feel of the record is akin to waking up in an asylum with no memory of arriving; it is disconcerting at times, unnerving at others, but occasionally tricks the listener with subtle reprieves from the gloom only to be pulled back under all over again. Not a split; it's a collaboration. DIGITAL NOT AVAILABLE ON DAY OF PURCHASE. Lim. 250 on cassette, vinyl record available at Appalachian Noise Records.

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly

I love the mix of quiet melancholy and soaring wonder here. Listening makes me feel like I am looking up at the night sky on another world, watching impossible boreal colors dance along the horizon while tall trees sway in the keening wind, and gray-cloaked figures add their own long-dead voices to the joyful lament.
