Les groupes Black Tremor et Sea Witch sortent un split sous format cd et digital via Hypnotic Dirge Records et en cassette via Sunmask Records. Et c'est du bon, voir très bon !
Black Tremor est un groupe canadien de Saskatoon (tiens la même ville que  Hypnotic Dirge Records) qui évolue dans un registre de stoner / doom metal et qui a sorti son premier album, l'Ep Impending en 2015 comme autoproduction. Depuis le groupe a tournÃ...

Review from The Obelisk

One has to wonder if whichever of the involved parties – be it the two acts or either of the labels, Sunmask Records or Hypnotic Dirge – had in mind a land-and-sea kind of pairing in putting together Saskatoon’s Black Tremor or Nova Scotia’s Sea Witch for this split release, because that’s basically where they wound up. Black Tremor, who issued their debut EP in 2016’s Impending (review here), answer the post-Earth vibes with m...

On paper, pairing an atmospheric, post-rock influenced, Folky, Stoner entity such as Black Tremor with as grand a Black/Doom act as Sea Witch might sound like a bit of a stretch. Really though, they've a lot more in common than you might think. Both are instrumental, both use a fairly minimalist approach, and both undoubtably share a desire to express a certain existential misery and vastness in their music. Black Tremor, for example, e...

El sello canadiense Hypnotic Dirge Records, en colaboración con Sunmask Records, publica un interesante split compartido entre dos bandas cuyo nexo podríamos decir que es el Doom instrumental, aunque cada una entienda esta etiqueta a su manera, aportando diferentes visiones sonoras e influencias. Se trata de dos formaciones procedentes de Canadá, por un lado el trío BLACK TREMOR y por otra parte el dúo conocido como SEA WITCH, quiene...

The Pitch: Two very talented, textured Canadian instrumental doom bands for the price of one: Black Tremor and Sea Witch  via Hypnotic Dirge Records. FFO Downfall of Nur, Crown, Thera Roya

What I Like: This split is more than just your average doom metal.  Like I said, it's very "textured" and has some subtle intricacies that really carried my attention.  You've got your familiar bass guitar reverberations and T Rex-sized chord sustains...

*This review was written in 2016 since this album was initially planned for a 2016 release through Sunmask at this time.

We’re reaching the point in the year where I’m going to have to do a lot of driving in what likely is to be fairly bad weather conditions. I oddly enjoy that, though, because that means a lot of family visits over the holidays, but with all that mileage, having the right music to accompany me is a huge key.

*This review was written in 2016 since this album was initially planned for a 2016 release through Sunmask at this time.

Both extremes of the Canadian landscape find a home on the split LP from Nova Scotia’s nautically themed Sea Witch, and bastard sons of the prairie Black Tremor.

Sea Witch churns the chum bucket slurry churns pretty hard. They are a two-piece out of Dartmouth, NS whose sound is dense and harrowing, yet full of ...

Courtesy of SunMask records we’ve been handed this promo for an upcoming split LP which showcases two superb Canadian doom bands; Sea Witch playing a nautical inspired blend of doom and Black Tremor with their trademark hypnotic brand of melancholic folk doom.

More than just being from the same country, being instrum...

*This review was written in 2016 since this album was initially planned for a 2016 release through Sunmask at this time.

Sea Witch and Black Tremor are two brilliant instrumental bands who unite for this split release and while at first listen it would seem that the two bands don’t have that much in common musically, there is definitely a spirit that links them and after repeated listens, the bond between the two bands is ev...
