Band singing announcement: Avantgarde black/death/doom metal band Felgrave from Norway:

I’m delighted to work with Felgrave and their fascinating new album which is a dark and moody mélange of various styles. The treatment given to it is refreshing and with so much happening within their epic 12+ minute songs, it remains engaging while also being unpredictable. Albums like these aren’t created often and it’s a pleasure to work with the band to put out unique and mesmerizing music.

Band’s statement: “I’m super glad to have found a label so excited to release »Otherlike Darknesses«, an album of experimental, avant-garde extreme metal with many diverse influences, namely 20th century classical music, 70s symphonic prog rock, and the weirder side of 90s black & death metal. The music herein is a meticulously crafted dark yet colourful tapestry that goes far beyond anything I’ve done before, and will reward diligent and attentive enjoyers of unique extreme metal for countless repeats.”

Composed, performed, recorded and mixed by M. L. Jupe.
