Originally formed in 2016 under the name Disrhythmia as a solo project from Evan, drummer for blackened grind outfit FVRLVRN, a new type of sonic brevity would be achieved when Norwegian producer Gjøran (of industrial\/demoscene project Proteque) joined the ranks in early 2017. Our Riches marks the tenth official release for Under a Full Moon, melding a dark fog of ambiance that enshrouds the crushing doom ferocity that has the listener trapped within the confines of their own mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nFrom the dissonant echoes of synth that begin the opener, “A Thought that became a Dream,” we can see through small slats the suffocating darkness that is beginning to crawl towards us, fully engulfing the listener with the first explosion of distorted guitar and cymbal. At that moment, it’s clear that there is no free space left for us under the glacial tempos coupled with the layering of light noise and modular production. Make no mistake, this is some intensely slow and methodical doom that entwines itself across influences of atmospheric and depressive black metal, but there is never a feeling of repetition as the music works to create an individual journey through the listener’s own emotions. The aforementioned track along with the subsequent “A Newfound Hope” and “The Coming Morrow” can be seen as a multi-tiered extension of sorrow billowing out through massive levels of gain that surround Evan’s growling delivery that can only be described as bestial, all of it resting in the tomb constructed by Gjøran’s howling and wind-blown production.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nThough not everything that is found on Our Riches remains in a level of bleakness and despair. Tracks like “Soil” and “My Final Strife” offer several bright layers that, depending on where this album may find you, can be translated as the beginnings of a new dawn or merely an acceptance of the anguish that takes form over the first half. And just as our connection to the music may change depending on our own state, the songs work in the same vein that give them a very natural progression that make them much more expansive than your typical slow churning doom. For instance, “Cesspool of Sorrow and Pain” follows an incline that collides into a mass of wall-to-wall distortion and breakneck percussion that makes the return to those pummeling riffs that much more satisfying.\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nSo whether it may be the tortured misery of “A Thought that became a Dream,” the new horizon in “Soil,” or the coming swarm that signals the closer “My Last Tide,” Our Riches is more than a simple depressive doom record. It is instead an experience that can change form based on the connection from the listener, giving it those rare instances when an album feels like something that is actually alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=24426992\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tridroid.bandcamp.com\/album\/our-riches\"\u003eOur Riches by Under A Full Moon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53019631878441,"sku":"P-41033-","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Under-A-Full-Moon-Our-Riches-TAPE-41033-1-1565808663.jpg?v=1778011785"},{"product_id":"grogus-four-kings-tape","title":"Grogus - Four Kings - TAPE","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeyond a torn barrier of reality, itself nestled between a rotting cosmic garden and some place called Minneapolis, resides a trio with the moniker Grogus, who perform some of the most implacable music heard this year on their new record, Four Kings. The simplest genre tag to give them would be a blackened melding of sludge and hardcore, yet the record moves at such irregular speeds that you’ll keep finding yourself, arm outstretched, with Grogus just a few steps ahead of you. If you don’t pay careful attention you might lose sight of them altogether, dissipating like ritual smoke into the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nThe opener, “An Oceantomb of Centipedes,” initiates the sense of the unexpected that the listener will come to expect over the course of the next six tracks: brittle and crunching distortion, mantle-splitting bass, and a series of rhythmic patterns and progressions that refuse to walk a straight line to connect to each other, instead opting for a nervous system-style route with branches of speed-motivated thrash riffing, pummeling down-strokes, and disorienting harmonic screeches. There is no constant within the music; while many musicians aim to create something “larger than themselves,” Grogus instead seem to have made a thing with its own consciousness, changing tempos within a single riff just as we would change focus in the middle of a crowd. After this miasma of sound, with a marriage of drowned shouts and frontal growls, comes a respite of chorus-drenched clean guitar; the echoing shouts from before swell upwards past a back layer of distortion, while the percussion builds in intensity. This upsurge first seems to climb towards a pinnacle harkening back to the beginning, but instead it expands upon the track’s newfound breadth and blackened, atmospheric tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nThe subsequent tracks “Biovore” and “An Augur of Ebrietas,” via the same chaotic frenzy that opens the record, charge straight in with a heaviness that irradiates the listener and shatters you on impact, pieces pelting off of every beat from the snare. Then, halfway through Four Kings, Grogus take a wholly different approach, eschewing the physical presence of the band members and allowing the more ambiguous facets of their music to take control in the experimental epic, “Goat Temple.” Far more substantial than a standard interlude, this track brings in bitonal synths that flicker in the background, furthering its cosmic identity, then forms a shamanistic shroud with rolling cymbals, hollow percussion, and wavering distortion. This diversion heightens the impact of the return to “form” in the subsequent track, “A Call Beyond,” which is rich with d-beat\/hardcore energy while echoing back to the technical strangeness of the album’s opener.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nAll the way through to its final moments, Four Kings is primal yet insightful, aggressive yet methodical. Their inability or sheer refusal to be tethered down to any sort of linear structure gives Grogus the otherworldly presence they embrace as their own. And if Four Kings is any indication, they have some incredible weight behind that claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=876826721\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tridroid.bandcamp.com\/album\/four-kings\"\u003eFour Kings by Grogus\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53019647738153,"sku":"P-41035-","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Grogus-Four-Kings-TAPE-41035-1-1565809897.jpg?v=1778011801"},{"product_id":"putrescine-the-one-reborn-tape","title":"Putrescine - The One Reborn - TAPE","description":"\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4010490095\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/reek-of-putrescine.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-one-reborn\"\u003eThe One Reborn by Putrescine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53020027814185,"sku":"P-42656-","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Putrescine-The-One-Reborn-TAPE-42656-1-1583508668.jpg?v=1778013491"},{"product_id":"putrescine-the-fading-flame-lp-colored","title":"Putrescine - The Fading Flame - LP COLORED","description":"\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3150358272\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tridroid.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-fading-flame\"\u003eThe Fading Flame by Putrescine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cp\u003ePUTRESCINE will release their debut full length album via Tridroid Records this coming March. With EPs and singles already under their belts, The Fading Flame sees the death metal trio flex their musical muscles over ten tracks of progressive, pummelling extremity.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nRecorded in early 2020, with the band’s own Zac Sanders taking on production duties, the three-piece crafted an abrasive and chaotic communiqué that takes inspiration from the genre’s all-time greats - Carcass, Morbid Angel, At The Gates. With American death metal seeing something of a resurgence in recent years, PUTRESCINE’s latest offering cements them as part of that invigorating revival, thanks in no small part to the songwriting chops of Trevor Van Hook and Marie McAuliffe.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nProudly antifascist and known to wear their hearts on their sleeve, it’s no surprise that the lyrical themes on the album are often deeply personal in nature. Vocalist, Marie, elaborates: “That Mountain is about surviving trauma and was written at a very low point in my life. Outsider is a bitter cry against the well off queers who historically sold out the gay rights movement and killed its radical element. It's a message about class unity being more powerful than liberal concepts of identity.”\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nInspiration also comes from other places; the stunning album artwork is an interpretation of Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls, created by Carlos Agraz. The thrones and the creatures on them represent the Lords of Cinder - who are a notable influence on the first tracks on the record.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nWith hopes to play live as soon as circumstances allow, PUTRESCINE’s live line up has already been fleshed out by the addition of a live drummer and bass player.

While both wade heavily into the waters of drone, shoegaze, and post-metal, each band has taken a different path toward the same inward exploration, one that, depending on the headspace of the listener, will lead you to vastly different territories and climb through multiple emotions over the course of their tales. These pieces of music unfurl in the way of epic stories, with a clear and defined course yet an unseen conclusion, so that both of the nearly 30-minute songs consistently grab your attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nObaku favors a minimalist approach with “Ringing Plain,” through slow guitar progressions and sparse percussion and synths that heighten the impressive detail of the landscape they create in your mind. Within the first eight bars, we can see fog begin to appear along the path they’re showing us, becoming thicker as the tempo mirrors our footsteps, hesitant to continue where we cannot see - making it a fantastic, albeit depressing, parallel to life. Dark folds of anxiety billow through the music wherever the distortion increases, hitting a lower tone where now we catch a glimpse of something through the fog that piques our senses before it disappears, and all we can do is continue to walk forward. This journey focuses the whole of “Ringing Pain” through a cinematic lens, with the way the music climbs through myriad feelings - peaks of curiosity in the quick bends, stark beauty through the high-string notes that float around us, and the absolute dread of the low strings - all through the use of instrumentals where the notes hit the listener like the glint of a star or the calling of a death bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nOn the other side of this release we have Without with their piece “Thaw\/Flood,” which immediately calls forth an expansive and spiritual experience for the listener. Whereas Obaku relates a personal journey through the self, Without aims to transcend what is found in our minds alone and reach the unseen places where we can find peace in our daily lives. Blending their styling of drone with psychedelic flair, Without creates lush beauty around the slow development of the body of the track. The guitar carries a somber lead, representative of our feelings of isolation in life and ranging through a progression that at times soothes the listener or, with robust open notes, reminds them of the harsher side of reality. The synths and keyboard sections play a much grander role, surrounding the frame to offer that higher connection we find in things such as nature and humanity and creating a sense of wonder in the music.. Meanwhile, the soaring vocals float through the instrumentals, intertwining amidst everything to form a singular sound rather than one track overlaying others. There is perfect harmony within the piece, with all components integrated and holding tight to each segment in an unbreakable chain, and this offers an experience that is both chilling in its magnitude and comforting in its embrace.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2877437364\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/obaku.bandcamp.com\/album\/obaku-without-split\"\u003eObaku \/ Without SPLIT by Obaku \/ Without\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53025870250281,"sku":"P-41034-","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Obaku-Without-Obaku-Without-SPLIT-TAPE-41034-1-1565809522.jpg?v=1778011793"}],"url":"https:\/\/shopusa.season-of-mist.com\/collections\/label-tridroid.oembed","provider":"Season of Mist - North America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
