► Hall of Mirrors "Altered Nights" released by Malignant
"Altered Nights", the third Hall of Mirrors album was released in late April by Malignant Records, one of America's premier labels and mailorder outlets for dark ambient, industrial, and power electronics. Copies are now available for sale through the Afe mail-order, here's the original press-release:
Third CD from the acclaimed dark ambient collaboration between Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh). Spread out over two CDs and totaling over 100 minutes, there's a lot to absorb here; organic, textural ambience that's murky and abstract, uncurling like tendrils of smoke before coalescing into a simulacrum of shadowy figures, to turbulent, more immersive post industrial sounds that prowl the depths of subterranean caverns and forgotten, still radioactive ruins. At its core, this is dark ambient, but with its roughly edged, mildly corrosive machine edges and cascading factory whir, Hall of Mirrors moves into a much more active and cerebral sonic realm. Features contributions from Vestigial, New Risen Throne, and Pietro Riparbelli/K11, among others. Two discs in a 6 panel eco-wallet, with four tracks on one disc, and one 45 minutes track on the second. A must for fans of Troum, Terra Sancta, early Zoviet France, and of course all related Andrea Marutti projects.
